Irelia's wierd ultimate....

Does anyone else think that is really strange. It has really high damage for a ranged ultimate, it never misses and its odd to see that on a melee bad champion. It gives rather a lot of killing potential from range and I'm not sure why that is needed on a melee bruiser. I have also seen several bugs where will stun even if her health is higher then her opponents.

I am not sure why a tanky nightmare like needs a ranged ultimate with high damage if she is intended to be a melee bruiser. The counterplay, in staying at range would be her counter but with her ultimate and reset on her gap closer, it really is impossible to get away from her before she uses that ultimate to easily kill someone while they are retreating.

Would it not make more sense for Irelia to have a single-target ultimate which is low range, like the rest of her kit? Something like Jax's ultimate that promotes her role as a melee bruiser? Because her current kit is a bit... well... weird.

Not "OP" or whatever, just thematically weird...
