@Riot any plans for Irelia when the class rework comes?

I know it's probably a long way off, but I was curious if there was a clear direction you wanted to take Irelia.

I really hope that Q can stay the way it is. Even though it is my favorite thing about Irelia, I wouldn't want an Irelia rework to force her to max it 1st or 2nd though because having it on a low CD defeats the point. I think the players who properly use her Q should be rewarded instead of bad players being able to Q things until the enemy QQs (even now Irelia can get away with maxing Q second due to increase of TF CDR).

She's probably going to get a big rework when they figure out how they can completely ruin her for all her fans and give her a kit that's probably not going to be good at all and completely misses her current theme, identity, and gameplay while raising her skill floor. Then they are going to completely change her lore as well. Finally Irelia Bot, Irelia Carries U, and Gbay99 will somehow get their accounts accidentally deleted from the game.

She is probably going to be one of the big reworks. Too many tools in her kit. I would say E for sure will get removed and worked into a new ability. Very toxic ability that punishes you for making a good trade on a champion who already has sustain built into her kit

From what I know, Riot hasn't disclosed anything regarding a rework for Irelia, so they probably won't be answering any questions about it.

On their support site (https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/202294884-Champion-Update-Schedule) they say that the next updates will be for the Assassin class, Warwick then Galio. If Irelia or her class were to be added to that list, the update would come no sooner than mid-2017. Irelia won't be in the assassin update if that's what you're thinking, because Riot considers her to be more of a fighter/diver champion.

Riot considers her to be more of a fighter/diver champion.

That's my biggest fear

Tryndamere is a "diver" because his invuln ult

Olaf is a "diver" because he gets 100% tenacity

Riot keeps saying Irelia is a "diver" even though the only thing she has that reinforces this is her shitty passive (it's terrible, Irelia mains agree).
