Gotta love how they're already pushing Irelia buffs

Still an incredibly cancerous champion with who has a very high winrate on players who have many games with her. Was literally the highest performing/highest banned toplaner in Plat+ before the last round of nerfs. Sure, she is 21st now out of 48 but that doesn't mean to buff her armor per level, HP per level, her passive, her Q damage to minions, AND increase her damage reduction on her W all in one fucking patch. It's like you want her to be broken and constantly banned. 10 extra health per level is a 400g buff in stats at lvl 15, 1 extra armor per level is a 300g buff in stats at lvl 15. Not sure why she also needs her damage reduction on W increased from 40% to 50%????? Or the fact if she all-ins at lvl 3 and achieves max stacks, she gets 40% increased Attack Speed and an extra 21 magic damage on auto attacks (plus a .25 bonus AD ratio on that passive). Like what the actual fuck Riot Balance team??

Ik it's disgusting. She still has the mobility to easily troll mages, plus more ho to absorb damage now, so it's not like she will miss the lack of magic damage reduction on W much. Instead, she will literally dumpster most, if not all ad matchups now even harder than before, and will still be potential against magic dealers. Ridiculous fricken joke is what riot is, and I refuse to put ANY money into their products until they turn this bullcrap around.

ok and Zed and Talon exist to counter Kassadin...what's your point? because there's a couple champs that don't get demolished by her she's not a massive issue? nice logic.

some champs are strong vs some others thats just my point not proving anything. his passive is a magic dealing aa aoe attack. therefore it pierces her "physical only" block shield. while jax has his w and passive ult. to bypass her block button. thats pretty much all im saying

Um....you realize...the damage reduction is against phys and only phys, right? They are pushing her back to top, aka the shittiest role in the game atm lol

I am aware that the damage reduction is only for physical. Doesn't take away from the fact it's still a completely unnecessary buff and just allows her to trade/win lanes easier against champs like Fiora, Darius, Gangplank, Riven, etc. The stupid fucking champ is so overkitted already that if you can't win or at least go even against most champs that are played toplane, you must not have a pulse.

She wont win lanes easier against champs like Fiora or Darius unless both are in the hands of someone stupid. What should happen is Conqueror loses its true damage. Then you can be able to judge the power of the buff without a rune warping the results.

considering she is getting increased flat health per lvl, armor per lvl, and an additonal 10% damage reduction on W when she already is more than capable of going even in those matchups and snowballing off one gank, i'd say she will when much easier lmao. you play her, but not enough to have some sort of bias towards her so i'm not sure why you're encouraging buffing this disgusting nightmare of a rework.

Not even encouraging it. Im all for it so we have some counter to miss bullshit 2.0 in Riven.

uhm. Darius, Renekton, Olaf, Tahm Kench, Fiora, Kennen, Gnar, Teemo, Lissandra, Jax, Gangplank, and Tryndamere can all be played into Riven. Darius and Renekton are straight counters and Tahm Kench does very well against her.

Cool. Can any of them survive a essence rush riven? Not really. If her counters were "so good", then why the hell is she one of the best toplaners atm sporting a 53% general winrate.

I hate Riven as much as the next person, but Irelia can fuck right off. Her levels of bullshit are right in line with Yasuo and Riven.

The buffs hardly make her good imo. I played against and played her, and she's just shit.

Unless you have other accounts, you haven't played her since January 28th and she obviously just got buffed today. Guarantee we'll see at least a 3% increase to her overall winrate and her one tricks will dominate

Maybe because she is already bad in soloq(hence the terrible winrate) and a ban rate that has been steadily dropping. After 9.3 there is 0 reason to pick her over Jax.
