New Irelia Vs Old Irelia

I think that new Irelia is worse than old Irelia in terms of kits. Her kit isn't as good as the old one with the w as an aa heal, her e as a stun or slow depending on her hp and her ult heals if it hit and was a good source of damage. But now her kit is heavily reliant on her Q because it scales with AD, the rest of her skills scale with AP (exception of W), this makes her build more of an AP side but she was more of a bruiser before her rework. I kinda feel like she's more of a mid laner with this kit, the only thing that is good in her kit is her passive which shreds shields from tanks. In terms of splash art I recon her new splash art is better.

Personally, the one thing I don’t like about the new Irelia is how her Q has become such a loaded ability. In a 1v1 old Irelia should win.

I Find Her Sustain really bad as well because she has no healing abillitys because it got replaced by damage reduction.

Old Irelia was far better in every way, and alot more fun to play. Especially since they nerfed the new Irelia, she just isn't fun to play. Low win rate, completely reliant on her Q and playing around it, less sustain, less impactful plays available -- you basically just have to try and line up her ult on multiple opponents, then Q across all of them for sustain, without focusing on anyone and dealing alot of damage in team fights.

She's basically just a gimmicky champion with a couple of tricks up her sleeve. If those tricks aren't available, she's useless.

New Irelia. Giving her a good start she can dismantle whole team with her current balance. I witnessed it happening from low plat to silvers leagues, not sure about higher leagues though. Nerf incoming 100%.
