Whenever I bring up Irelia's balance, people jump down my throat with knives. So to refresh people's memory, I need you to tell them why you love to nerf Irelia and why you think her kit is a "mistake".

passive: 10% to 40% cc reduction that stacks♦ with tenacity.
q: a targeted dash that refreshes♦ cooldown on kill. w: auto's restore health and a active that makes her autos deal true♦ damage and doubles♦ the health restore e: A 60%♦ slow or a stun♦ when she's lower % health than her target. r: 4 line nukes that restore health on hit.
As it stands she's just got an answer for everything. If just half the mechanics were removed from 1 or 2 abilities then Irelia would still have a competent kit. You'd have to rebalance numbers of course but she'd definitely still be viable.
Personally, I want Irelia to get a visual and gameplay update because they are wasting the potential of the flying blade master fantasy. Her current(modified) kit could go to her brother as a "new" champ.
