2500/2900 range AoE stun.

Why are mechanics like this allowed? The community flipped when Annie had her flash ult combo. The community flipped when J4 could E+Q then Ult for a 1300 or something range.

Why is Irelia allowed to E, walk a few step, dash to minion, E second cast again for a maximum 2500 range stun? Talos helps you if she E, double dash, E again for a 3050 range stun. A good enough Irelia would be able to E, flash, dash, dash, E for a total of 3450 range AoE stun. I know playing against the old irelia, you factor in her double dash range in order to stay out of her dive. This irelia, you know her double dash range, but you have to add an extra 3/4 of a flash from her which makes her Zone range 1525 from her body.

Even Xerath, a far ranged mage only has a 1400 range on his fully charged Q.

I don't even think people know about this. 2425 ranged aoe stun without walking guys. Walk that extra 75 units within the 3.5 seconds the first blade is up and you got yourself a 2500 range stun.

I mean, you could, but you have to understand that not only would that require Irelia burning at least one very long cooldown (Flash), but considering the stun is in a straight line, the number of situations where this would be an efficient and practical use of her 0.75 second stun would be harder to find than my father after he went shopping 26 years ago and never came back.

Let's use Kog maw ult range as a basis. http://static.askmrrobot.com/images/lol/tips/kogmaw/1/kogmaw_ultiranges.png

He has a 1800 range from champion max level ult. This covers half of a map.

Irelia has a 625 range dash and a 900 range E. A situation where she has a zone power of 1525 unit is common.

In a situation where there is an existing wave where a lot of the current minion are under half hp with a new wave arriving is also common. This gives her the ability to jump to the first low minion, then the caster at the back of the second wave giving her a zone range of 625 + 625 + 900 = 2150. She has the power to stun someone over half a map away in less than 1 second flat.

Now you say she has 0.75s stun which is negligible. Wrong. Most cases, if you Irelia lands her stun, it gives her enough time to walk up and Q you.

This isn't factoring in that she can cast her first E out of vision, only for you to see the second thinking it was the first.

The current irelia players haven't played her long enough to know her combos. It's comparable to Normal riven players, and then Riven players who knows how to animation cancel.

Irelia's stun is still not point and click, however, unlike Annie's or J4's basically is. It has a decent delay on it as well. And it requires a lot more setup than just F>R or E>Q>R. E>Q (to a minion only)>F>Q>E and having to aim both E's.

Neither is newly released Zoe E + R + Q combo. Irelia can do the same thing as Zoe. E from the FoW, then dash, second E.
