Riot, can we get any info on what you plan to remove from Irelia's kit for 9.2 and why.

So players can stop playing around those parts of her kit.

It isn't like we are going to be able to talk you out of it.

riot balance team discusses reducing her movement speed by 1 ... to compensate for the this q will execute every champ below 99% of his max life

I feel her shield killing power might get looked at, since to survive her damage as someone squish like an ADC you'd probably want a shield, but she'd tear it in one auto and conqueror you to death.

This and her stun hitbox are what I would look at, personally.

The stun hitbox I'm commonly hit being more than an entire Teemo out of the animation - Clarity and consistency could be touched up.

As for the shield shred - As a Diana one trick, I'm a bit biased - But I'd love to see that reduced. It's the number one thing that stops me from being able to fight her.

Though, I'd be satisfied seeing her just get mana gated similar to how Diana is. So many champs can just use their skills however they see fit for the most part, can safely engage with 50% mana and expect to be fine, can use their skills to CS etc. Diana on the other hand is almost OOM after two combos and a spell or two, and is going to have to carefully choose which skills to use if she tries to jump in with below 40% mana, because she's not going to be able to use them all before she goes OOM. Seeing some other champs gated more like this(Irelia being a prime candidate for her similar pattern of dive in and wreck you.) would be totally fine with me. (This can of course all be negated by itemizing into it, which is totally fine - Itemizing for your resource to be able to go nuts later is how it was always meant to be.)
