Why the 25 reduction to Irelia's Q range? Why you nerf her even more?

Has a truly low winrate even having a high playerbase average games played.

Meanwhile you have Garen with more winrate, more playrate, and less difficult. Or Zoe with more winrate and more playrate

Then, why nerf Irelia? Why nerf her and dont nerf these 2 champs?

The 25 reduction to the range is just a joke. WTF are u pretending to do with that? Only fucking up muscle memory of people that still plays her

i guess it has to do with her lategame scaling.

in longer games, irelias winrate goes up to 70%. my guess is, theyre doing it because worlds are around the corner, and pro games tend to drag out longer, since the players are less inclined to take riks than in solo que.

this would make irelia a mandatory pick or ban at worlds.

60% at plat+. 70% at diamond+ in longer games.

her average winrate for people who play her a lot goes quickly up to 56%

i dont know how accurate the stats at diamond+ are due to low sample size, but riot must have come to the same conclusion that her lategame scaling is a bit on the extreme side.

you have to remember that this patch, and the next few patches are forcused around pro play (regarding champion balance), and pro games tend to go on longer than solo que games.

this irelia nerf wasnt targeted at her solo que performance, but what pros can do with her in coordinated games.

It's a 60 % winrate at games longer than 50 minutes at plat+. How many games are that AT THIS META? 5 per month? That's not close to be a point. Irelia winrate keeps close to 50 % at games of 40 minutes lenght

Having it in mind, lets buff Kayle, she seems so useless at late game since she has 0 % winrate at 50 minute games https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/kayle/platinum

i just explained it. they didnt do it for solo que. they did it for pro games and worlds. those games tend to drag out longer, because players take less risks.

irelia is probably also generally stronger in coordinated play than in solo que.

No they did not Meddler's context was not to change her for pro, they wanted to make Irelia top lane viable without being overbearing mid lane

this has nothing to do with pro or not
