irelia is seriously broken, her dueling is heavily overloaded

Bruddah Mase·Nov 26, 2014·1 votes·1,011 views

All irelia needs is double dorans blades to duel opponents with full items and major level advantages, throw in a trinity force and theres nothing you can do against her. Something has to be done about this monster who has no weak matchups, no weaknesses at any stage in the game, and the ability to duel any champion in the entire game.

Here's my proposed changes: Fix her E. right now if you're within 10% hp of her you'll still get stunned. Reduce her E base damage to 60 at level 1 up to 230 at rank 5(standard numbers)

Make her W only double heal against champions(a random suggestion off my head).

Reduce her base health.

bringing ignite doesnt save you from her 100-0ing you under tower at level 7 regardless of your champ. and not everyone has the luxury of being able to rush frozen heart or randuins. and by not everyone I mean literally not a single top laner in the game besides malphite and nasus.

Don't feed the dickens out of her.... and irelia is very very manageable before her triforce and if you bully her early it takes quite a while to hit that power spike.

to put the post into one simple question:

does irelia have a single weakness at any stage in the game?

and no attack speed alows arent nearly enough if her Q bursts half your carries health and her ult and e are enough to finish them

Yes, she is ez ganks(can only Q to enemies). She doesn't do too much damage lategame as she is suppose to build almost full tank. Her wave clear is her ult. She has 3 good options to lvl first, if she lvls E, try to just sustain. If she lvls W, try to finish her with ganks. If she maxes Q, she's an idiot and she will probably suck.

Try using a high sustain champion against her. Irelia absolutely wrecks anyone without built in sustain or absurd life steal as part of their kits, but she is rather ineffective early on when her opponent does.

I would recommend Renekton for starters. One tip to note while fighting against her, don't fight her when you have a minion advantage at level 6. She can position herself to ult throw you into your waves for insane amount of life steal.

Additionally, never dive an Irelia unless your champion has some sort of disengage such as FIzz's troll pole or Zed's ult in their kit. More often than not, she will stun you under turret and life steal off of you.

First of all, it's 7hp per hit at level five for Hiten style, and when activated it's fourteen, so lifesteal shouldn't be THAT big of a problem unless you're trying to force it into a farm lane, which then Irelia will win every single game if you play that way. The key just to harass her, for most lanes it's actually just a skill advantage, but she usually wins verses ranged tops, due to her kit.

Also, the fact that you're saying only Malphite and Nasus "have the luxury to build Frozen Heart" is just stupid, any champion can build it and utilize it well unless they have no mana costs. The fact is, want to know what counters Irelia? Just health, stack health and then resistances, she's always going to do at least 75 damage to you no matter what whenever her Hiten style is up, so just stack health, not resistances first.
