Irelia

HOE5··1 votes·588 views

Hey guys! Im writing this because after playing many games with Irelia on season 6, I have began losing to many champions that I normally lane with due to mastery changes over the past few weeks. Its a bit frustrating to lose to a lane and in turn, have a hard time to make a comeback. Usually mid-early game. So here is I would like to suggest (if riot is ever listening) changes to her kit.

Q - Bladesurge: Irelia dashes forward to strike her target for 20 / 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 (+1 per Attack Damage) physical damage. This applies on-hit effects. If it kills the target, Bladesurge's cooldown refreshes and refunds 35 Mana.

Works beautifully when in lane and when minion is actually low enough (or doesnt bug out, doesnt refresh after killing minion)

My thoughts are, instead of guessing whether you have enough AD to jump and refresh, how about this:

> New added passive:

If transcendent blades are active, Minions below 20% and Champions below 5% of health are insta killed, Bladesurge's CD refreshes and refunds 35 Mana.

Really cool right?! Why insta kill on champions below 5%? because she is part assassin. Think about pantheon but a lot scarier.

R - Transcendent Blades: Irelia summons 4 spirit blades which she can fling at her enemies. These blades deal 80 / 120 / 160 (+50% of ability power) (+0.6 per bonus attack damage) physical damage to enemies that they pass through, and she heals for 25% of that damage vs champions and 10% vs minions.

This is a unique and brilliant ultimate. Her ability to heal and damage at the same time is a favorable skill. But I feel that this doesn't have enough power(isn't it true that 90% of other champs have an execution while Irelia has blades that gives little to no damage?). The reason why is because I base Irelia off of attack speed. and it doesn't scale well in terms of her item builds. Triforce and/or Borke. So here is my suggestion and make.

>New added passive: If her Hitten Style is active, her blades deal True damage according to level.

Hitten Style: Irelia is skilled in the art of Hiten, passively giving her physical attacks 5 / 7 / 9 / 11 / 13 health restoration. Activating Hiten Style doubles the health restoration to 10 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 26 and adds 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 true damage to her physical attacks for 6 seconds.

Why? because it makes sense, her blades, when on Hitten Style becomes active, shouldnt the blades she flings be active too?

In conclusion. I believe that this will really solidify the "nerf irelia" that has been hollow since the beginning of season 6.

Please give me some feedback to how we can bring irelia back to her haunting season.

PS: I have played 5000+ games with irelia, i know her like i know the back of my hand.

I can understand that. Her whole kit is based upon her blades. so i thought it would be advantageous if her Transcendent Blades were to be buffed a bit especially late game.
