WTF Riot? Why nerf a champion if you're going to overcompensate next patch?

Irelia 9.3 Changes

Stats: HP per level increased to 95 from 85. Base armor increased to 5 from 4.

Ionian Fervor (P): Stacks now grant stacking attack speed, and at max stacks grants bonus damage on hit. Max stacks increased to 5 from 4. Irelia can now gain stacks from minions. Attack speed increased to 8/10/12% from 5/7/9%. Bonus magic damage on hit now also has a 25% bonus AD ratio. Bonus magic damage changed to 15/40/65 at 1/7/13 from 15-66. Damage on hit increased to 15/40/65 from 15/30/45.

Defiant Dance (W): Damage reduction increased to 50% from 40%. Damage reduction now specifies physical damage.

Really? Why nerf her at all in the first place? She's just going to be busted tier again until she's re-nerfed. Haven't you guys learned anything from doing this the entirety of S8?

Because they unceremoniously blasted her kneecaps and shins off with a shotgun. What was meant to be a nerf was a flat out cripple.

And also, Defiant Dance now ONLY blocks physical damage. She'll get eaten alive by AP characters like Rumble, Teemo, Kennen, and mages.

  • Overcompensate

  • Gut the absolute fuck out of W

I don't like these boards. At all.
