Possibly a Simple Solution to Balance Irelia?
So I've thought about how this little change could make Irelia not so broken anymore, but I hadn't posted it before because I have no idea if it will work like I think it could. The whole "it sounded good on paper" thing, and all. So whether or not this would solve everything is beyond my prediction capabilities. However, I have been hearing this as the biggest complaint about her so many times now, so I decided to just suggest this finally.
I think if they just change Irelia's Q reset a little bit she would not be so OP. If they added a delay to when her Q resets off of minions she would be a lot more manageable without ruining her. You just make it so that when she gets the reset off of a minion it takes maybe 0.25 - 0.5 seconds before you get Q back. It's not a big deal with individual minions, but it means in a 6 - 10 minion wave that she would find herself in pretty often she would take like 3 seconds longer to clear it, and not be able to evade so much.
Now like I said I don't know if this little reset timer alone would fix everything, but I DEFINITELY can't say for certain how much more would need to change if so. Anyways if you guys think this would be a good way to try to balance her then let me know.
is a champion even before her rework was known for great escapes and outplays. Dashing through an entire minion wave will be like 5 seconds longer.
