Recent Irelia Nerf Slaughters Her

The change to her passive hurt her far to much. What she was good for was getting out of sticky situations/making outplays when she was alone or out numbered, now essentially she relies far too much on her team, I really felt she was balanced after her ult nerf, but now this?

Relies on her team?

She gets the same tenacity when she's 1v1.

She gets massive buffs for 2v1s.

She's essentially the same for 3 enemies or more.


Her team gimps her when it comes to her passive now. I really think you misunderstand her passive. Basically buffs any time she's out of range of one of her allies. She only suffers in 2v2s where she didn't really need it often enough anyway.

If she's diving, she's probably getting full benefit of her passive.

my fault for not re-reading, i thought the part that stated "more of them, than us" read as "more of us, than them" which essentially would of only given her tenacity if her team had advantage

6 years of constant nerfs, and she still a power pick, that change to her passive was mostly pointless.

She's never gotten constant nerfs. She was adjusted a lot after release, like most champions, then her AP build effectively got removed.

After that her W sustain was lowered a long, long time after.

After that her base stats were buffed.

Long after that her E's base damage was hit.

Long after that her Q damage was buffed.

Long after that her ult CD was hit.

And now her passive was changed.

Outside of that, there were minor base stat adjustments (both buffs and nerfs). We're talking entire **seasons **, somtimes more, between hits outside of the ult and passive changes.

Almost every nerf/buff was a direct result of a change to Trinity Force/BotRK, not Irelia randomly resurfacing in the meta without any provocation.

I think she's overpowered, but that's just me.

the passive change was completely irrelevant to irelia

she's still a high power pick, just not perma pick/ban. tbh going from poppy to her, playing irelia is just brain afk easy stomp lane win game

Dude if you get lucky and get into 1v4 while being full tank and with GA. All those CC will be useless against you and they will waste everything on you so you should dive into their team for tenacity.
