Does the community still view Irelia as broken?

She’s been getting fairly less bans lately (from my experience) and even when I do play her I get less of “broken champ” in chat and more of “wp.”

To be quite honest I believe her last nerf (40% damage reduction and no free stack) put her in a good place as I was one of the first to say that when it had 65% at max rank it was broken.

irelia herself no

synergy and damage output with sheen/triforce yes, but she is not alone in that regard

The community will complain about anything that beats them. A minion killed them? "Guys minions are one shotting people!"

Conqueror is to blame.

I say a majority of people still find Irelia broken because how she is picked mid a lot. Irelia Mid got introduced in LCS. She can picked off the immobile mages, or keep with the mobile mages. But more than that she is also a great teamfighter too because she can disarm fed adcs with her ult. Because her ult disarms them, meaning enemy champions can't auto if they get hit by Irelia's Ult. It became a dominant pick. Ult is too busted. And honestly, I don't find her that overpowered.

I think people don't know how to play around Irelia Mid or counterplay her playstyle in general.

Broken in the sense that she probably has one too many factors to balance.

Powerwise, she probably is no longer in the broken catagory. She is still clearly stronger than the average champion so any nerf would be justified but she isn't broken in the overpowered sense.

She's a solid pick but not too much of an issue, people's attention have shifted to the guy who can steal ultimates every 9 seconds

The problem is the conqueror that is very broken but the champ is actually good in my opinion
