Is irelia op?

Because she feels fucking horrible to play against. Kills everything in very short periods of time, while being tanky with no resistances.

Also I'm fairly certain you can't side step her stun.

I request nerfs.

She's overwhelmingly strong, and imo not even that fun to play. Not a great rework

tbh irelia is fine, you just dont know how to play around her. study your lane champs for a bit and test out counter builds and counter champions. i laned against her a great amount of times and won lane almost all the time. she is an outplay champion (like zed) and is heavily dependent on her e and ult to deal immense damage with her q so your pathing has to be unpredictable. study the champions before talking about them. I remember when i got pissy about mardekaisers healing but then i found grevous wounds. just keep exploring the game my friend.

Literally trash tier right now after the nerfs. 45% winrate. Anyone still complaining about her is terrible at the game.

She got massive nerfs literally this patch, you guys know that right?

Do y'all not know that they just nerfed her today? Or do you think that wasn't enough?

I feel like part of it is Steraks is OP but especially on Irelia-- since she has those precious couple of seconds where you have to kill her or she'll kill everybody... Just enough time for the shield to pop up.

You phased this wrong. Should be "better nerf Irelia"

Beacon Academy6/28/2018, 8:47:22 AM2 votes

Her passive should deal physical damage imo so people can actually itemize against her.

Also as far as the stun is concerned...

While I do think it should have a thinner hit box because... razor blades... You can dodge the stun because you know where she is going to dash to.

(I also think the stun should apply only if both blades hit with one blade slowing, but thats a whole different topic)

She's OP beyond belief.

She was , but she's been gutted now so I dont know why you are complaining.

You dodge her stun. just got to be good

Yes, Irelia is OP, congrats on finally catching up with the last 4 patches

IMO they are being too cautious with her nerfs... Need to do the Zoe treatment, gut then bring back up in power slowly.

I think one of the problems with Irelia is even though she is a diver she often feels more like an assassin. She has the same problems as Diana in that respect, but Diana only wishes she could dash to multiple targets affected by her mark :p.

She is unbalanced in terms of being so good against squishy mid laners in mid and completely outclassed in toplane which was her original role.Needs her power rearranged more than nerfs imo.Also mark system proved to be pretty problematic as she gets resets much more easily than before.

i wouldn't say she's op by any means.. the problem with her is that people still play her old counters vs her and she now counters most of them. another issue is. that most tops who play vs irelia ..

usually try to force out a damage item first instead of a tank item and then get steam rolled. her counters have now change

Chogath, Taum. Garen. Darius Yorick

and a bunch of others still do really well and shut her down cause riot took away heavy HP reduction items so her burst can't eat through a hp tank that fast.. and usually if those two can shut her down and contain her to a tower hugging then by end game shes so far behind she can't really catch up .

Now the issue is most people will see a irelia top and try some crappy Tryn to counter her and yea shes going to stomp that shes going to stomp a jax.

i dunno how many times i see this.

I played against her once mid lane, i went 0/6

Modl Ryden l6/28/2018, 5:29:28 PM1 votes

I would say she's pretty strong. Not OP, they did just nerf her. You also gotta understand that prior to her rework she's been in a very underwhelming and underperforming state, in an almost forgotten state. She hadn't gotten any major updates or buffs until the rework, where they've given her so many QoL additions to her kit and made it more streamlined and unique. So it's fair that she is strong and relevant right now, as with all champions.

LatetotheRace6/28/2018, 11:12:16 PM1 votes

Honestly, her main issue I think is the Q. She can dash to the same champion numerous times, which makes it almost impossible to escape her. Why else would she be played mid so often? It's ridiculous that she can shove most mages out of lane so hard.
