Irelia needs some scaling buff since shes already weak early

after testing a few things out i think irelia could use some scaling buffs mabye on her w. i know shes pretty weak pre lvl 9 but id sacrifice a little bit more her early game to buff her late game more like more dmg on w at rank 4-5 . i think id like her weaker in lane but stronger late game than she currently have( even tho is decent ish) that way you could play more passive not feel pressured if you play against something like fiora. also ;ets not forget she got nerfed to the ground like 6 patches in last summer after triforce changes. she didint get any direct buffs only the triforce change and boom 6-7 nerfs in very short time made her not really viable or just barely (if youre good at her) i think nerfing early game to buff her late game would be decent (like buff w at rank 4-5 mabye)

Irelia is supposed to have a weak early game, she's a hyperscaling fighter that can decimate both squishies and tanks late game.

Irelia is just fine as is.

This is coming from someone who plays a lot of Irelia top through the years.

But why? She has a 50.4% winrate overall, 47% for beginners (which is rather good actually), >53% for those with 10-20 games on her (rather good aswell) and she caps at 56% for mains (which is rather good..).

So overall Irelia players tend to do very well and her pickrate is while not too high actually not bad either (5.4%). All this means that even small buffs would bring her back to the spotlight and maybe more attention that you bargained for.
