[POLL] What is your opinion of Irelia?

darkdill··1 votes·272 views

I honestly think she'd be better if she got some reworking (i.e. exchange Hiten Style's healing for a shield-on-hit), but that's just me. Vote below on what you think of Irelia's present state.

Irelia was the first champion where Riot, not long after releasing her, admitted that they had overloaded her kit. I believe the story went that they just kept adding things until they liked her kit, instead of really being careful about how her kit functioned. Behold Riot's design team a few years ago.

They've known for a long time that Irelia needs reworking, they just haven't done it yet.

Just like LeeSin

Also I am not sure how they plan to solve the problem and leave them viable, I mean they reworked XinZhao and when was the last time you saw him?

I use XinZhao on occasion. Build him with a Frozen Mallet and he is a terror.

I wouldn't trade that healing for anything.

So you don't want harass attacks to work on her, while burst gets punished by her stun?

Yup, sounds good to me. You're asking people who play Irelia...we play her for a reason.

irelia is awesome, what are you bitching about?

Irelia is fine where she is right now. She's not the most viable and can be outclassed by other picks in any role she is played in.

However, at the same time, she is still strong enough that a skilled player with her can be a solid off-tank carry.

Not particularly awe inspiring design, but she's balanced and fun to play, so I don't see her as being much of a priority. Especially considering that champs like Urgot and Yorick exist.

Fun champion, hope Riot leaves her alone.
