Honest way to Fix Irelia

GigglesO·Aug 4, 2019·3 votes·1,197 views

Remove her q on hit healing, and make it have an internal .5s cooldown.

Sure, she will be harder to play, but atleast I wont take 4-5 q's all in the same second just because of button mashing. If she wants to heal when she presses Q, she can build deaths dance like the rest of us.

Whats so wrong about having high skill cap champions actually take skill to play? Why do we need to baby them with so much extra.

While we are at it, lets just balance riven by removing animation canceling.

Both changes would solve more issues than they create.

You mean balancing them isn't a good way to fix them?

Irelia isn't supposed to be a burst champion. She's supposed to be a dps champion.

With your mentality, the only way to fix that would be to turbonerf her Q to the point where there's no point in using it outside of as a gapcloser.

Sometimes added clunkiness is necessary when the champions kit gives absolute agency.

You know, veigar wall used to be instant. It feels pretty clunky having a delay.

Malz minions dying in one hit feels clunky.

Sion Q being super delayed and telegraphed feels clunky.

Ashe not critting on her first auto, not being able to naturally crit, and then allways critting for reduced damage feels clunky.

Shall I go on? Irelia needs a clear weakness, and right now she just bursts you down with Q spams. Either that or remove the mark mechanic so its just like old irelia where it either dies, or she doesn't reset.
