AP Irelia after 8.15

Hello everyone,

Since the PBE basically confirmed nerfs to Q and E damage as well as a nerf in damage reduction for W. I was wondering about the health of AP Irelia after 8.15 ships. Although bruiser Irelia won’t be nearly impacted as much, AP Irelia might see the biggest hit because on top of damage nerfs she’s also losing sustainability in W. While AP Irelia wasn’t suppose to be viable to begin with, I feel like the recent PBE changes really hammers down on her AP play style which I find quite fun to play.

I feel like these changes would also impact her AP build path so below I’ve listed 2 potential builds that I would switch from and to and I would like everyone to give their opinions on them.

Before 8.15:

Luden’s Echo, Sorcery Boots, Protobelt, Morellonomicon, Void Staff, Rabadon’s Deathcap (built in order of listing)

After 8.15

Lich Bane, Sorcery Boots, Protobelt, Nashor’s Tooth, Morellonomicon, Rabadon’s Deathcap (built in order of listing)

The on hit from Nashor’s might help to offset the nerf to W as well as the added CDR (total 50% if taking trancendence) will add a bit of extra AP late game. Is it worth it to switch Void Staff with Nashor’s Tooth? Or is the former too vital to leave out?
