Her mid lane dominance has reared its ugly head again, and as a result her ban rate has increased to about 40%. I think the balance team may need to take her back to the drawing board and address some needed nerfs to her mid-lane power.
Thoughts on 
?

Make her abilities cost mana
please
Champion needs to be gutted into the ground. 0 counterplay.
Try to play her without conqueror, and u will find the answer
I'm expecting RIOT to decide that she's too difficult to balance, nerf the ever-loving-shit out of her, and then leave her alone for years like they do with other kits people hate playing against. 
(tries to run)
Bjergsen gets penta kill on nerfed Irelia. Rito Games: “Her Q needs a buff.”
They will never nerf her because they nerf champions like Ahri and Nami that are perfectly balanced champions. While leaving broken shit untouched or buffed aka Darius.
Old Irelia were way better in terms of balance and gameplay
OP
nerf
Irelia is up there with Zoe and Akali. She gets the Ryze treatment. AKA she's too good in the right hands and needs to be nerfed down the toilet to even be viable. Unfortunately unless Irelia gets some sort of gameplay update she won't be allowed to be good.
delet her mark on her ult or the utility on it. Shit does too much and too well. They cant just nerf her dmg, she is SUPPOSED to be a duelist and not some stun/ult bot.
They need to raise the mana cost and reduce the heal on her Q. This will nerf her spamming jumping around allowing her to close gaps easily and her sustain in lane keeping her there longer. She has the same issue as Yasuo does, near infinite movement at no cost and too much safety, she even has poke that goes through all minions meaning you aren't safe in your own minions.
Just my thoughts.
I fucking hate new Irelia. I just wanna play my toplane queen again, except she now sucks versus anything that isn't super squishy so she isn't viable anywhere but midlane where she's actually ridiculously overpowered. 0/10 rework shifter her power too much from close range combat to an extremely save midrange caster/assassin. Make her stun last longer (.75 sec are you fking kidding me what is that?), rework her W so that it doesn't deal damage on range but also doesn't root her (maybe her blades could cycle her rapidly dealing damage at close range stacking her passive but she cannot auto or cast other abilities during the duration and the damage reduction goes down over time?) remove the aoe the ultimate leaves beind on target hit and instead just have it be a burst of damage and apply a mark that also increases the Q range if Irelia Qs that target.
