can we talk about irelia?

so first off i know its petty but her blades... i mean seriously. im sure you had to change them so they fit the new kit but they look like just a bunch of shards of metal than actual blades and remind me too much of katarina and even talon. they look like mord (even though hes not playable really right now) could just walk up and be like 'no thats actually mine now" and use them for a shield/heal. but anyway getting past that, from what ive seen so far it looks like you designed her specifically for high end elo and skill. id like to know why you designed her ult the way you did as well.
