If/When Irelia gets reworked what would you like to see?

Cloud273·Jan 2, 2018·3 votes·621 views

Personally I think her 'q' and her ult are her most iconic abilities. If/when she gets reworked I would like these to stay if possible. Hiten style could stay as well, but I feel like this ability is nothing more than a stat check. It will either be too strong or completely useless. As for her stun, I think most people will agree that point and click stuns are unhealthy, but I don't know how they could give her cc in the form of a skillshot. Finally, I think they should consider turning her ult into a basic ability. This would give her a form of poke in laning phase, which she currently lacks.

Her E going away and having no similar ability whatsoever.

Irelia is to me as what Yasuo is to the Gameplay Boards.

Her not getting reworked because she's perfectly fine as is.

I agree 100%, seeing champions like this getting reworked before someone like nunu really triggers me.

Stat check champ that doesn’t fulfill her theme and outdated kit

Yeah perfectly fine

Her kit is absolutely fine and honestly it's one of the more fun kits in LoL.

I dont think her ultimate is going to be staying the same at the slightest. It's a dull as hell ability that just gives a bruiser some poke. It's too much like Riven's ultimate IMO. Of her kit that would probably survive, I can see her passive and Q remaining in some form or fashion, with a much more muted version of her W popped somewhere in there. I don't think she'll keep that massive sustain of its active, especially if she ends up keeping a hard CC. I have pretty high hopes that they'll do her right. Her only unique feature is how she operates when outnumbered, so I see that being played up more, similar to how Stoneplate works. The rest of her kit is honestly incredibly bland and been done a thousand times already, so for all intents, she's a blank slate.

WHEN she gets her rework (it has been confirmed), her E is going to be changed completely, and her ult will probably change a lot too Minor tweaks to her W are possible as well

Slef-plug because I had a rework idea a while ago https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/n1Z4zzzy-irelia-rework-idea

But, barring that Q can definitely stay I think the ult should be moved to her passive with each of her abilities interacting with it in some way. W is probably gone to move away from free stats E will change, but still probably be CC. And I personally like the equilibrium part of it (stun versus slow based on comparative hp)

it would be nice if the fact that the swords can float matters more even if it is just via new animations

Riot is actually working on reworking Irelia, read askriot submissions!

The Q reset is probably the most fun and iconic skill of Irelia. Perhaps her passive as well, but with how common displacement is becoming, Tenacity seems kind of obsolete, especially with how bursty everyone has gotten.

W is nice, but kind of bland.

E is rather strong and while I'll miss it, if replacing it means she will be healthier and given more opportunities to wreck in the rest of her kit, I'm all for it.

Ult: Eh...basic 4 lined skillshot. I'm sure everyone wished it was more impactful than slightly more damage + healing yay.

Q is staying BTW and apparently IreliaCarriesU likes the rework

no more stun because low health

AbibyamaJan 3, 20181 votes

Doesn’t matter, people will bitch anyways. Like every rework not named Warwick ever

I would like to see greater play into the telekentic blade wielding.

Make Hiten style her passive: auto attacks heal her for a scaling flat amount, every so many hits have 1 attack deal bonus true damage.

New W, new E, new R. Q can be functionally the same, but maybe be visually different or interact with other parts of her new kit in some new exciting way.
