Reworked Irelia Concept

Reworked Irelia

Based on previous riot post's and the current state of irelia i thought it would be a nice time to start posting some of the concepts i might have for updates to our favorite Diver champions and i chose irelia.

If your a little confused then let me explain, the Diver update (an update to champions such as Pantheon, Irelia and Jax) is the most likely update to happen next because many of these champions are outdated and while they'll always have a place in the meta they just aren't up to par with riot's standards anymore and many of them could definitely fit their archetype better, one of these is Irelia.

The concept for Irelia is that of a Telekinetic Blade wielder with awesome power and incredible skill, buuut all she really does is hit people with them she doesn't actually use them very much in her fighting style preferring just to smack people with them. In addition to that her abilities are a bit outdated and her E is something that the people at riot don't like because it gives her an edge while she's losing which is something they kind of want to remove from the game now.

So the overall goal of her rework in the Diver update will be to make her fit her archetype better and to expand on that archetype so she's even more badass than before while also making sure that her kit doesn't have tools in it that are only useful to her when she's losing.

So here's my idea for her rework please tell me what you think in the comments bellow.

Also Camille the newest diver champion is likely to be the direction Riot wants to take the other diver's in the diver update.

Note: Camille has a line to irelia that states "You should have relied on your weapons more." which is a reference to irelia not using her weapons much at all.

Passive: Hiten Style Mastery

Irelia begins the game with one rank in her ultimate(similar to karma)

After picking up a Blade Irelia's Next basic attack deals bonus Maximum Health damage if an enemy has blades stuck inside them she won't pick them up and will still do maximum health damage based on the number of blades inside of her enemy.

Note: Maximum health damage is used to prevent burst damage in places where it shouldn't be, so before get triggered would you rather Irelia burst you with 200 true damage or deal like 5% maximum health damage.

10/8/6 second cooldown(affected by CDR).

Q: Bladesurge

Irelia can dash to any target blade lying on the ground and pick it up or to any targeted champion with blades in them but she won't pick them up. If irelia picks up a blade it refreshes part of this skills cooldown.

Irelia deals damage to all enemies between her and her blade and if she is targeting a champion with blades in them, she will do bonus damage based on the number of blades they have inside them.

W: Hiten Style

Irelia gains stacks when she damages an enemy unit, upon reaching 4 irelia can activate this ability and for the next few seconds irelia's basic attacks will cause her to swing her blades in an arc infront of her damaging all enemies in a very small area infront of her.

During this time irelia's basic attacks will damage an enemy 4 times but apply her Passive's damage twice instead of once.

Note: Similar to Ashes Q

E: Equilibrium Strike

Irelia calls all of her blades back to her returning them to her Transendent Blades charges and if an enemy had blades stuck inside them that enemy champion takes damage and becomes stunned for .5 seconds based on the number of blades inside them.

R: Transendent Blades

Irelia begins the game with one Blade charged, every 30 seconds another blade will become charged. (Max 4) There is a 2 second delay between casts

Irelia can use her R to send a blade flying in a targeted direction, landing at the end of the skill shot. Irelia can pick up blades to return them to her charges, if an enemy is hit by Transcendent Blades it will stick inside them and deal damage.

Edit: Almost forgot!! Irelia cannot pick up blades that are in her enemy.

Blades last 5 seconds while on the ground or in an enemy champion, if a blade is on the ground and irelia has 3 in her charges she will not recharge a forth until the one on the ground disapears.

Edit: This was previously on "Concepts and Creations" also i previously posted concepts for katarina when she picked up dagger's and it reset her shunpo so i feel it necessary to post concepts now just in case the rioter's see it and it helps them rework a champion.
