Irelia, The Will of the Blades • Rework Idea

Hello Everyone! I'm just ganna jump right in! Ever wanted to play a champion that precisely controlled blades to cut down their foes while face to face with them? Me to! When I first saw Irelia in the champion screen I had this dream. Then I played her. I was disappointed that the only time she really did anything that looked different from physically stabbing them with her sword like anyone else was when she ult’ed. Which lead me to think of this kit for her a while back and I read just recently they were looking at her! So I would like to take the time to post this and talk about how this kit works, how I see it playing, and why I feel it represents Irelia. First things first. The kit is below:

Passive: Irelia's Melee Auto attacks pass through her target to a medium range. (like Lucian's Q or Twich's Ult) Hitting for 100% damage on the original target and 2/4/6/8/10% (scales with Level) damage on all subsequent targets and leaves a blade at the end of its range.

Q: Irelia Dashes to the blade closest to your mouse dealing 10/20/40/60/80 damage + (Total AD ratio) to all targets in between her and the blade and healing for 2% max health for every enemy hit (up to 4/6/8/10/12%). Half damage to minions. If this ability strikes a champion it slows them for 25% for 2 seconds. 14/13/12/11/10 second CD

Q Ult Enhanced: Dashes to targeted sword, If you collide with a champion you drag the enemy champion to the blade and impale them, stunning them for 1.5 seconds and dealing 100/200/300 +normal Q damage as True damage.

W: Pulls all Irelia's blades to her, dealing 100/120/130/140/150 +2% max health per blade (max 3 blades per target) 8/7/6/5/4 Second CD

W Ult Enhanced: Pulls all Irelia's blades to her, dealing 50/100/150 +1% Irelia's max health per blade (max 3 blades) and causes the enemy to bleed for 3 seconds slowing them by 50% and granting vision of all effected targets.

E: Irelia commands the closest blade to the mouse to the mouse’s location. If it hits an enemy champion it slows them by 30% for 2 seconds. If the blade comes in contact with another projectile during its movements or within 2 seconds of stopping it destroys the projectile and the blade in an explosion causing 200% of your AD in a small area. 10/9/8/7/6 Second CD

R: Throws out 6 blades in a cone in front of her Dealing 100/120/140% total AD (like Riven or Ashe). This ability resets and enhances Q and W Skills when activated for 4 seconds. 75/60/45 second CD

Obviously the damage numbers are probably tuned high but they are just place holder because I want you to see how she will play. With this kit I don't want Irelia herself to do a ton of damage but instead rely on proper timing of her E for a good amount of her damage throughout the game while using Q and W to setup plays. I think she should be more about precisely controlling her blades and positioning to create plays and provide opportunities for her team. I envision her Ult W being more reliable but far less powerful then her Ult Q which would be much harder to land but have an incredible payoff when you do. I feel like this really holds true to a master of psi blades and I think it would really deliver on her theme while still keeping her identity close to what she is now which is a tanky initiation bruiser.

Please leave constructive feedback! I appreciate it greatly. Thank You for your time, I hope it was worth it!
