"its not irelia, its triforce"

Irelia might have always been obnoxious to play against, but she has had periods where she was pretty bad.

"before triforce"

u wot. Trinity Force is like the oldest item in the game

I don't even own irelia so suck it, but I don't think she's overpowered. First of all, resetting gap closer doesn't mean shit since it only resets on kills, but it's her initiate tool and can't oneshot people so stop complaining about that. Second, everyone complains about irelias q and triforce synergy but it's the same case for 30% of the champions in the game but you don't complain that (hers applies them TWICE) are broken, when they have even better synergies with the item. Third, her true damage is horrible early game and only good Lategame, but by then everyone's tanky enough to avoid it. (And the heal is so bad I don't even know it's there.) Fourth, irelia can only stun you if she's LOSING the fight in the first place, so if you think her stun makes her op, it actually means she's underpowered if she's able to use it so much. And last, her passive literally is useless because 10,25,40% are tiny numbers compared to items and masteries that give you it for free. (Not to mention that her Q is her only form of mobility)

Sure its not the true damage, or the hitting 3 buttons in .2s and getting 4 attacks or the almost no mana costs.
