Does anyone else think its time to nerf Irelia again?

Seriously she is ridiculously strong and we all know Jax deserves some love.

Jax is getting a buff on PBE, actually. Although I don't know what that has to do with Irelia; they could both be in need of buffs.

Not sure if this thread is serious though, Irelia "ridiculously strong"? She can bully her direct opponent if she snowballs, but even then she has low teamfight presence (although that's also true for Jax, he is also a monster splitpusher because his passive wrecks turrets).

Agreed. She is way too strong and too hard to kill.

No? I've played her 6 times this free week and I haven't done well with her once.

BurningSmurfJun 21, 201523 votes

Have you considered that maybe you're not playing her well?

My point is that if she's not able to roflstomp carry regardless of skill and matchup, she's not ridiculously strong. Champions like old Tristana, Ekko, Bork Fizz, ie ones that needed nerfs, I was carrying with after 2-3 games.

Thats not how this works.

Best example: Riven. Riven is ludicrously broken and easily the strongest champion in the game, but she is 100% dependent on player skill in animation cancelling to be even remotely effective. Is she ridiculously strong and in need of nerfs? Yes. Is she able to roflstomp carry regardless of skill? Hell no.

D1 riven. The tower dive was stupid, but the second engage was perfectly executed. Broken? Lolno.

lmao

using Tryndamere being able to crit cheese someone as a way to say they are balanced. Are you dumb? Tryndamere can do that to anybody.

Well technically your dog isn't an "anyone" as it is not human and that is what the word typically refers to.

DownfallJun 24, 20151 votes

typically in this civilization and time period yes, anyone refers to a human. But I used it to refer to my dog. Because I can.

To be fair, I've played Miss Fortune like 6 times this week and I've carried all of them (Just went 19-6) with her. But I wouldn't say she needs nerfs. Same if I did bad, she wouldn't need to be buffed.

disregardableJun 21, 20152 votes

Now go around 19-6 27/30 of your next games. Then there may be a problem.

That's what GA is for XD but I mean if you wanted a little more offense instead and felt like you could use it at the right time she has a few ap scalings, power to you :P

That meme has been around for years. How is this the first time I've heard that skin proposal?

I main Nasus so I'm fine with her, and that's the only reason why.

Is Ekko op? Better nerf Irelia

LankPantsJun 22, 20153 votes

Goes 0-12 against an Irelia as Jax, something tells me neither of the champs are at fault for that.

The truth tea has been spilled.

To ask for buffs for your favorite champions and nerfs for ones you played poorly against....yikes.

This is like saying "Twitch has too much in his kit, DoT, True damage, AoE slow, AoE damage, Physical Damage, Invisiblity, Multi-target auto's, Increased Attack Range, Increased Attack Damage, Increased Attack speed, Increased Movement speed, AD Scaling, AP Scaling.

Irelia is quite overbearing now. I think that this is going to get her rework bumped up the list. Poopy's and Ryze's got rushed for the same reasons. If I had to take a guess, it's probably going to be Poppy, Gangplank, Miss Fortune, and then probably Irelia.

I Main SwainJun 22, 20152 votes

that passive is way too strong. up to 40% tenacity? seriously?

101100111000Jun 22, 20151 votes

Only when 3 or more enemy champions are nearby, so basically in teamfights. Otherwise, it's only 10% or 20 something with 2 people.

As a side note, the Defense Mastery changes coming soon makes it so 21-9-0 builds can give people 10% tenacity, so everyone gets to be a mini-Irelia during laning now.

I Main SwainJun 22, 20151 votes

I believe its 15% if there's 1 person nearby, but plus merc treads and the new mastery that's 60% tenacity. with 3 champs its 85%

101100111000Jun 22, 20151 votes

Tenacity stacks Multiplicatively, not additively.

With the current iteration of the Tenacious Mastery, Irelia can only reach 66.85% Tenacity. Come the Defensive Tree changes, She'll get slightly less than that.

Meanwhile, other people that have post -changes 10% mastery will be able to hit 40+% tenacity.
