Updates on the Irelia rework?

MrMedrix·Nov 5, 2015·2 votes·575 views

About a year ago @IronStylus gave some info about a possible relaunch of Irelia ( http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-skins/wAb3EiQm-ironstylus-on-irelias-eventual-vu ), which im very excited to see because, even though she is my main, her kit gets boring really fast once you learn all tricks with your Q. And since one year passed and even though many other reworks are planned or in work already(poppy, taric) i thought that there is at least a small amount of information you can give. :) (and make this stupid sakura irelia skin a thing omg its so sick #weeb)

They might still be juggling ideas. She's suppose to be the, "Psi blade" character of league, so they need to revolve her kit around that. The only thing I can think of is making her a marksman/assassin or assassin/marksman by giving her a farther attack range.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks her kit is boring.

I actually wouldnt enjoy her as a marksman though.

Maybe her q could be a skillshot with which she can dash through units her can be w changed to the infamous at-third-aa-do-this-do-that skill every champ has right now Her e would maybe be ranged but not with the current life% thing, that would be too safe i think And when she uses her ult her blades (the blade she uses to aa included) start whirling around her, her as could increase and she would be able to fire them with her ult to do dmg, then she could port to the first enemy hit with her q or she she could use her e with an increased effect Would fit the mantra style which karma has so if she uses it she empowers her next ability and yoi have to adapt to the situation to make the best choice Maybe you could make the bladewhirlwind a passive, somthing like "after x consecutive attacks irelias blades start whirling around her, disabling her aas, dealing x dmg per second, further attacks increase the dmg and whirling speed" with that she has to choose her engages wisely to gain the most out of it Problem would be she would be an auto-pushmonster i dont really think that fits her playstyle

I'm pretty comfortable with Irelia right now, but I do share your curiosity regarding her rework news. Hopefully it doesn't result in her being banned for weeks on end like more recent reworks. That would be the worst possible outcome, regardless of how much they tweak and change.

Personally, I like her as-is, but I understand that a lot of people think she's A. boring or B. imbalanced.

If they DO rework her, I'd like it if they made her into a melee/ranged hybrid built around the manipulation and use of her blades. Something like a mix between Orianna and the new Graves, except that instead of controlling a ball she'd control four floating swords.
