How does everyone feel about Irelia right now?

Right now Irelia has one of the worst winrates in the game. Depending on the site, only 2-3 champs are worse than her. Despite this, she is still moderately popular at a 10% play rate or so.

What's going on with her right now and what does riot need to do to get her in a better place?

just like azir and galio, she's not allowed to be good in pleb play because her kit is just inherently god tier in pro play

i find her annoying to have the amount of mobility plus cc in her kit.

i do find that you can clearly tell a good irelia from an average one/bad one

Like when you play OFA Irelia vs Irelia and someone gets a 1v5 Penta Kill?

She is pretty good has a high skill cap which is why the winrate would be low. I would say she is about balanced.

Nerf her passive and buff her E and W?

Idk, I'm just guessing here. Her passive is OP though.

Irelia is fine, she just isn't that great in teamfights unless she is really fed. That and all the people who play her miss everything except for Q and R.

Should riot rework her W and E to make her easier to play and lower her skill cap?

Haha the Irelia players are just trash at landing Skill Shots or timing things.

Still unbelieveable cancer in the hands of a skilled player who gets ahead

Irelia is fine where she's at, low skill floor with high skill ceiling. Punishes inexperienced players when they don't land her kit and rewards players when they do land their kit, pretty much what a champion should be.

She's a decent situational pick into some matchups. Given that she's still relatively popular I don't think it's a great idea for her to be buffed, and because of her low win rate she definitely doesn't deserve a nerf. I'd say where she's at now is as balanced as her current kit design can really be, though maybe a little weak. The way she's designed just makes her really hard to balance, from what I've heard.

Shes a stat check, look at her base movement speed, its higher than some champs with tier 2 boots

you dont remember the nerf of - 5 ms right after her rework released?

and her base ms is 335 which is pretty standard

Just fought one, she had 390 ms speed, with no boots. probably a rune or something, but it seemed abnormal

Did she have phage and was she hitting minions?

Not at that point in the game

I feel like she's boring to play, and I'm bad with her.

Painful gap between micro on her. Id filter out all win rate data under 50 game personally.
