If you're not spamming Irelia/Akali/Aatrox

You're missing out on literal free Elo if you can pilot them

Irelias issue was never her Q, it's basically the same from old Irelia but a bit better. Her issue is her W (To much damage reduction for how it fits with her kit) and her R letting her Q spam on multiple targets.

Please Nerf W damage reduction and remove marks that come from R

Akalis issue was never her ultimate, her ultimate damage was a little over tuned, and it's even a bit over nerfed now. Her issue is how she trades in lane, so fucking safely, and how she pokes, and how she fights with W.

Nerf Q CD/damage, rework her shroud to make it more bearable to play against, buff her ultimate damage back up a little

Aatrox just does it all and it's annoying. Need CC? Aatrox has it, need a sustaining top lane that can function without ganks? Aatrox has it, need a raid boss for team fights? Aatrox can be that, need a lot of damage? Aatrox can do that, need him to be annoying and resurrect and do more OP shit? Aatrox can do that

Take the 120 movement speed he gets from Ultimate away, or get rid of the AD steroid he gets from using E, he really doesn't need that.

Please balance team, I don't know how you guys go about crunching numbers, but none of the shit you guys are doing makes any sense.

Honestly... mordekaiser shuts down akali easy. Same as any aoe damage champ. Even Zilean vs her makes her annoyed as heck.

Aatrox you bring some longer ranged poke vs him. Taliyah is fun to use against him, and Kaisa ive used top with success... Tristana....

Irelia you bring someone with true damage or who can utilize conq. Works out quite well.

What the problem people face is that they are stuck on "this is the meta. Anything out of it is not meta meaning not good". Viktor is an example of when people are too worried about playing things out of meta. I brought Blitzcrank PTA AD top and beat him up.

Heck, thats how come MF support was so popular for a while.... it was unconventional, nobody expected it, then it just happened. Someone played it and did well because they knew it would work well vs the matchup. It was unconventional, but it worked because it dealt with the problem at hand.... Zyra plants.

There's an important thing to remember here: Not everyone likes to play these kinds of champions.

Akali is not just "run in and poke. Spam W, it's OP" because if you do that, you leave yourself pretty open.

Irelia only fights well in two conditions: her keystone (usually conqueror) triggers, and she has a reset up on you (her E, ult). Usually she also wants her passive. If Irelia straight up Qs you with no other setup, no passive, just "I'm going in", you can probably kill her.

For Aatrox, the Q is not just something you use, and his E is far more complicated than "AD steroid", since it only gives the AD for... 2 seconds? 3 seconds? And you're not even mentioning the real AD steroid in his kit, the one he gets from ulting. +30% total AD while ulting.

I have to ask if you've played these champions yourself for "freelo." Because to be blunt, none of these champions are just "pick up and go", and thinking so will make you lose a lot of games. To play them to the "freelo" level, there's a lot of games you need to get in to the champion first.

It’s not hard to win against these “freelo” champs if you know how to play against them and how to play your champ. I haven’t played Kayle in so long but I played her today against an Irelia. I beat her so far in it was pretty funny, but our bot and mid lost super hard and they were able to end the game before our ADC could recover from going 0/12 and I could reliably scale.
