Irelia has Riven Syndrome

Salron··5 votes·364 views

For those of you who have been playing for a long time, you may remember this Riven nerf from Preseason 3: > Blade of Exile cooldown increased to 110/80/50 seconds from 75/60/45

The reasoning behind this change was that Riven could simply repeatedly all-in you every time you returned to lane because her ult had very little downtime, and thus you had few meaningful opportunities to take advantage of that ultimate not being up.

Now compare that to Irelia's 70/60/50 ult CD. An increase to around 90/70/50 could be a good start to rebalancing her.

Irelia's ult is just 4 glorified Spellblade procs. If you want to nerf her you should start at the 2 second stun

This would be nice...if it was her ult that was the problem.

The actual problem is her stun -> win trade absolutely combo.

Irelia's dashes and stuns are more annoying than the ult imo

Her ult isn't really a problem. Riven's ult is a straight stat buff and AOE execute.

Irelia's are just skillshots that heal her a little. She doesn't really need them to all in you, they're more of a cherry on top.

BUT, I do agree that they could use a bit of a CD increase, especially since CDR is kind of core on her and easily accessible. I think even 80/65/50 wouldn't be too bad.
