Frostblade Irelia is still pretty thicc and has her frostblade theme pushed even more than before.

Do you think they made her less 'thicc'?

Glory ln Death1 votes

They changed her from "Frostbutt" to "Frostback".

And I'm OK with that.

I mean, it is pretty smooth.

Not to mention she isn't just this completely new champion either. It's a complete modernization of her old kit which made her less binary.

I love the gameplay update, its great. Dislike it visually, though it is more polished. Splash art is also good.

It's really good!!! You'll also understand if you watch Gbay99's comparison video (and he's an 8 year old irelia main)

I meant that he has been with irelia for 8 yrs summoner 13 not that he's 8 yrs old summoner 1

Irelia Carries U also loves it. He got to test it way before they spoiled it though.

She has too much attack range. That's really broken top lane.

You mean they just stole Yasuos dashing and gave it to a tanky bruiser? yeah unique.

LOL you don't know the old irelia, it's practically the same thing but with a nicer animation and some healing

a reset on killing an enemy and a reset on a mark that she can put on 10 champions is a little bit different buddy.

Melankoli3 votes

The mark is different, yes, but her Q has always reset on kills.

Glory ln Death1 votes

"Practically the same thing" allows for "a little but different".

TempName548461 votes

getting 10 dashes on champions vs getting a few dashes off of minions are quite different id say, thats almost like saying zac e and yasuo e are "practically the same thing" ... well both can knock you up and are dashes so ...

Irelia was dashing on the Rift way before Yasuo

Gameplay looks great, character model is disappointing

I agree!

If only i could actually get to play her without her being banned in every game >:V

I hope it goes away in a week like most other champions (an exception would be zoe)

Unvictus1 votes

I literally can’t get over how satisfying her auto attack animation is!

Azadethe1 votes

You do realize she's going to get nerfed into the ground worse than Zoe ?

She can literally go Mage and take 0 damage and 1-2 hit entire teams with her Ult + E.

Bârd5 votes

Good luck landing that E on an entire team.

Azadethe1 votes

It's not hard at all once she R's. Everyone's premarked, and if they try to exit her R , take huge damage + are slowed 60% AND they are disarmed, which means any attack skills go gray. Then she just uses Q and W to clean up whoever hasn't died yet.... usually the adc/support/mages are already dead, and Q and W will finish off the fighters/tanks.

Bârd1 votes

Even if they're slowed, they all have to be standing in a line. This just doesn't happen.

If a five man group is clumping close enough together to allow Irelia to stun all of them, their positioning is objectively horrible and they deserve to lose that fight.

Stunning one person is finicky. Stunning two people is difficult, but still possible. Any stun involving three or more people requires a major lapse in positioning.

Vekkna1 votes

Or it requires a jungle bottleneck, which happens more than it should.

Azadethe1 votes

You do realize that the E actually has a pretty good hitbox between the knives? I've only played her once and hit literally every single stun. Place one knife behind a target and the other in front of you. = Everyone between those two points for about 600 points wide gets stunned. This is stupidly easy to aim if you ult, because they literally have no way to avoid it.

And.... it's pretty easy to get a team to stack on top of each other. It's called Yasuo or Orianna or Zac ...... or any tank pulling aggro like a Rammus or Maokai to one focal point.

How do you think these champs get pentakills?:

Oh right...... the other team groups up.

Bârd1 votes

Irelia stun is sitting at a width of around 125-150 units.

That is absolutely tiny.

It's not remotely comparable to any of the other champions you listed, who range from 200-600 radius on their big wombo spells.

Also, you don't have a single game as the new Irelia on your account. Either you've never touched her and are talking out of your ass or you've played her on PBE (a server where people have a shit connection and aren't playing seriously).

Azadethe1 votes

Look at the play length and last games on this account and figure it out.....

Irelia's kit is the embodiment of everything wrong with bruisers and how Riot intends to fix it. Is she more viable now? Yes. Is this good for the game? No.

Bârd1 votes

The W is a bit bland, but the rest of it is pretty great.

The W is a bit bland, but the rest of it is pretty great.

Just like Master Yi. Is she gonna be the Master Yi of toplane?

Bârd1 votes

Competitively irrelevant, only really played by OTP's at a high level?

I doubt that.

Her ult and E have a lot of value, and her Q is cool as always. She's likely to be present in competitive.

Her W is valuable, without a doubt, but it just isn't satisfying to use. Even meditate, a spell that is objectively very similar, is more satisfying.

TempName548461 votes

i mean shes completely busted right now but maybe once her numbers are alright she will be fine.

Asterfix1 votes

She feels better to play, like her kit is unique and useful. It's too bad everybody in silver is either banning or playing her for the first time with no idea wtf to do. Thankfully my last game had them on the opposite team. 4/8/3 and they surrendered unanimously.

NvestmentPlanker1 votes

wouldn't know. i'm banning her every game i'm in.

Warlord Dienekes1 votes

Not particularly. But I'm just a bitter old grognard who hates laning against highly mobile champions. So, probably not the target audience here.

Are you an actual idiot or just trolling like one

I don't feel a champion as overpowered as her needs a snare. that's like meth head Rito going "DERRR HERRRR RENGAR NEEDS A BUFF!"

ninjaroxas1 votes

it's nice but it didn't really change much in the end

Teridax681 votes

I agree, I think Irelia's VGU is going to go down as one of the greats in Riot's recent champion relaunches. The devs took a kit that had an interesting theme, but did it tremendously poorly, and just completely unlocked all of her potential, turning her into a champion that's a lot more fluid, yet also far more interactive and interesting to fight. Her theme is beautifully done now, and with perhaps some exceptions on her skins (especially Frostblade), her visuals look excellent as well. This I think is a good opportunity to congratulate Riot on a job well done.

But it wasn't nailed to the ground so they fixed that in a hot fix
