So irelia lost her true damage and sustain is only on casting Q now.

I'm not sure what subclass she is now. However, I look at her kit and I see a tool to protect you against ranged champs (the W) and a tool to set up counterganks (the E). Her ult looks like it'd be great if she roamed bot. I mean just imagine shutting down a lucian ult or keep draven from using his Q or Vayne from using her W.

She may not work mid, but I see potential there plus I know riot has been trying to get champs outside of the traditional meta roles.

Old Irelia is dead with this rework so we've got to try her out in a few roles to figure out where this new champ belongs.

So riot turned a bruiser into an assassin?

If that does happen, i hope ppl riot about it, this is just not fine.

Why not? They turned Sion, a hybrid melee carry/AP burst Assassin into a tank, and his rework was a huge success. What isn't fine about it?

well, it is a rework. We don't know for sure, although what we DO know is that her Q does increased minion and monster damage and the ramping-up magic damage might actually be fairly good for clearing (definately was for Kai'Sa). her E also applies the Q mark to large monsters, and for all we know, that W might actually be a fairly decent way to deal with certain camps (like, for example, the raptors).

We won't know until we see it, though. I think her ganks will be pretty good in the right hands with her marking mechanic regardless, however.

Well before she needed those. We don't know the numbers, the cooldowns, the base stats, etc. You say she doesn't have it on her W, but what if her Q resets grant true damage or they provide sustain when used vs marked enemies? All that happened there is they shifted power around.

Her Q frankly looks like it deals AoE now, but that could just be the effects. If the spell deals bonus damage to monsters, she shreds raptors, wolves and krugs with ease while getting leashed a buff. She could feasibly have a healthy level 3 gank with AOE STUNS. (which I think was the biggest mistake. Bruisers/assassins with ranged AoE hard CC is a dangerous proposition).
