The E bugfix for Irelia hits a lot harder than you think

I can recognize that bugs can warp the performance of a champ and should be swiftly dealt with. The E bug was making her early just a bit better than hot garbage.

It is already widely known that she has an extremely weak early game. I can say from pbe experience the bug fix with the armor and minion farm buff didn't break even, that alone is a net nerf. The ult nerf just enforces that she is actually nerfed at all points of the game instead of power shifted.

The issue that caused her early to be so weak isn't the minion farming. Mathematically with the bonus damage on live it is roughly the same as pre rework within 1-2%. Her offensive and defensive ability for trading is drastically weaker though. E' s bugged interaction allowed her to compensate the early weakness with jaurim's fist and phage. Part of the still remaining early weakness is that HER Q IS STILL WEAKER THAN HER AUTOS TILL RANK 3, that is lvl 5 for her standard skill order. Even then it really isn't that much better.

What should be done is revert the bonus minion damage increase. Then buff the Q base damage by 10 at all ranks and add the effect to the heal component of increase the heal by 0.4% for every 1% missing health.
