Irelia is bullshit

How do you even play against this champion in the top lane. I was Sylas and I killed her twice pre 6. Once she got ult she jumped on my face and destroyed me. Where is the skill in this champion, where is the logic, where is the counterplay, where is the snowball effect. No matter what you do, nothing seems to work in a 1vs1 against this champion regarless if she is behind or not.

No champion in this game wins a 1vs1 vs someone that is 2 kills ahead at lvl 6, it just doesnt happen. Also Irelia's powerspike is supposed to be trinity, not 2 swords and a dagger.

Never liked the old irelia, but the new one is one of the most broken champion designs in the game, even with her recent nerfs/changes. Now she's even better against ad champs and tanks than before because she gets even more base and scaling hp (as much or more hp per level than champs like Darius), and even better physical damage reduction

Well, Morello did say Irelia was a mistake.

She will more or less always will be.

Imagine playing Sylas and complaining that Irelia is bullshit.

While I agree that irelia is bullshit and will never be balanced because shes has no weaknesses... The fact she gets so tanky from building juggernaut/ brusiers items that synergize so well with her is a complete design flaw but whatever.

That damage is from conq being active.

She gets 5 stacks the first fight and then uses her ult and goes in again with it still at 5 stacks.

If you would of waited for the stacks to reset she wouldn't of been able to blow you up.

She has average stats on soloQ and isn't high prio on pro play.

Irelia is balanced.

Irelia has been nerfed and despite me not liking her I think she's pretty Balanced in her current state.

She had minion advantage and a fully stacked passive. You had no keystone and also walked forward. All I see here is a big missplay on your part. Respect her passive, if she has it stacked stay at a distance and let it run out, then duel her and you will win. Fighting irelia is all about the respect, respect her initiation distance which is about 2x her dash distance in, if she hit her E on you run, if she got passive stacks wait for her to push, easy lane, easy life. Irelia has to build up her strength before she can win vs you and hit her E.

Ok so irelia did like 7 missplays there, what is that elo? Gold3?

But reggardless IRELIA was like nerfed in what 4 different recent patches? Sylas is way higher tier
