Im a 8/1 gp.. vs a irelia

and then late game you one shot her team's carries with a barrel

but I agree. nerf irelia. and gp.

tfw Gangplank is getting nerfed before Irelia

Rito plz

We need her to scare people off from taking ranged tops every game. Would you rather fight top over ?

Her kit is already so over the top, but it's really annoying that she isn't punished when she does badly.

Even if she does some how lose the lane, she's not punished for it because of her power spike with Trinity Force. Meanwhile other top laners get punished for their poor performance during the laning phase for the rest of the game.

GP and Irelia are both broken as hell

I'd argue GP is even more broken this patch

Irelia has the strongest mid game spike of all champions. No other champion can proc Trinity Force 7 times on a single target with one rotation.

Not even Riven can fight her once Irelia hits her spike. Rest assured though, she does falls off later and becomes just another bruiser for her team.

Neg when explained..Rip OP.

It's almost as if irelia isn't supposed to beat GP in lane

And almost as if Irelia has no hard counters or champions that out-scale her or champions that have bigger impacts in teamfights

or champions that are more cancer than her

irelia is dumb. She gets rewarded for fucking up. Oh you won the trade? lel ill just stun u and heal it all back up from my insane w.

i play balanced champions with balanced items.

honestly the problem with nerfing Irelia is that it would leave her Extremely Weak. Really Irelia just needs a Rework and Riot will get to that at some point so that shouldn't be a problem. Gangplank is considered the strongest top right now however in the hands of an Experienced one.

Irelias main power-spike occurs when she acquires trinity force. At that point, with the utility and stats the item provides, you'd have to be either STUPID, or dumbly brave to fight her 1v1. Unless you're like..Mechanically exceptional at the champion you're playing, or you deny/counter her stun and force her to waste her mana pull to engage/disengage to a point to where she can't use her mana for her true-damage W.

TL;DR

Don't fight Irelia 1v1 when she's acquired her Trinity force unless you're mechanically capable, or can reverse/deny her damage/stun like Fiora with her Riposte can. Even then, dueling her is difficult with her superior sustain through her ultimate and W.
