Wellit's honestly DW's fault on that one for not properly balancing their servants and giving them abilites they should have already have had to make them more effective. They're balancing was all over the place in the beginning which Siegfried unfortunately suffered from until his much needed buffs. Also that's pretty messed up regarding Illya, she didn't really do anything wrong. Yes she attempted to kill Shirou but she was justified in at least 2 reasons, she fully expected him to be like Kiritsugu, the man who raised him and was her father. She was lied to and led to believe that Kiritsugu abandoned her by the Einzberns.The second reason is that it's a holy grail war and she's never met Shirou before so she's right to expect him to be a hostile master even more so since he was raised by a Magus. She has another reason though, she fully expects Shirou to reject her entirely and probably lie to he rand abandon her just like Kiritsugu so it takes awhile for her to really bond with and open up to him out of fear for the same thing happening all over again.

Also keep in mind that no matter what happens Illya's guaranteed to die (not counting Hollow Ataraxia in this regard). In the Fate route, she survives the war but only has around a year left to live due to the modifications to her body as a grail vessel (I'm now wondering if Rin could have done something to save her since she's a skilled Magus herself.) In UBW instead of simply taking her prisoner like Kirei he kills her rather cruely (fucking gold bastard.) Finally in Heaven's Feel's true end she uses the dress of heaven to perform the true magic of heaven's feel to save Shirou and close the grail before it's unleashed and destroys humanity, she not only saved Shirou and the other characters but the entire human race as well.

The kicker is that she knows she only has a year left to live at most which plays a part in her actions and personality. Would you be a kind and loving person to anyone especially your supposed enemies if you only had a year left to live after your family altered you for one purpose only after supposedly being abandoned by your parents? All she honestly wanted was her parents back and for Shirou to accept her. Poor Illya was even supposed to have her own route but because of time constraints they had to merge her route with Sakura's for Heaven's Feel.
