Remove or Nerf irelia's TRUE damage

Teemo Did 911··2 votes·512 views

once she buys item 3153 or item 3078 , and max her E she is just a hell of an opponent ... you are literally getting deleted and you simply can't counter it , she can dash straight to you and hit you hard with her true damage and item 3153 passive

that's not healthy

irelia isn't healthy and needs an update. stacking tank items to delete carries better than the carries can is just bad design especially on a point and click monster.

Tank kata does the same

stacking tank items

but her core build is item 3078 item 3153, and sometimes item 3053?

Yes, Steraks is a bruiser/juggernaut items, but there's a reason why she deletes carries - she builds damage.

one and a half damage items. I rarely see irelias build bork unless against tanky teams and even then they hit the one item power mountain, go full tank, become nigh on impossible to kill mid to lategame and still one shot the carries.

I have a couple of friends who are Irelia mains, and they almost always go BoRK.

Also, I notice that you play a lot of Lulu/Braum/Taric. If Irelia is diving your carries and killing them easily, then either

  1. You are not peeling for them enough
  2. Your carries are getting caught out

There are multiple ways to put down Irelia, who is a fairly binary diver with no escapes. Once she commits, she commits. I always thought she was a more balanced diver than say, Camille, who has more mobility than Irelia and more lockdown potential.

dude. there's no peeling an irelia. I can have anywhere from 900 to 3k shields/heals or resists to drop on an ally at any time and she dashes in with her q (900 damage) stuns the carry (way too much but not a lot) and proceeds to whittle them down for about 300-500 per auto and healing it all back. if I'm lulu I polymorph her. half the damn time it doesn't even matter. she just autos through rabbit form and keeps going as if she took no cc. if I'm taric/braum I stand in front and stun her, and usually I'm building armor. see lulu on the cc front but also now that I'm a target she just chews through me as fast as my carry, taking off a third of my health with each swipe and sustaining my carry's damage back easy. there is no such thing as enough peel unless you have 3 tanks sitting on her, and then she's doing her job right if you need to do that because now her team is killing you though not as fast as the supertank in the middle of all of you is.

I have a specific hate for tanky bruisers that do truckloads of damage while also having very good tank while ALSO having very good cc while ALSO having very good mobility and sustain Camille Hecarim Gragas JarvanIV Kassadin Renekton Vi

And I'm telling you, you're playing it wrong. Most of the time, you + a carry should be able to beat an Irelia. You have several tools to disrupt her as she engages, one of which is polymorph, another is your shield, another is your ult...

And as a guy who mains Vi - she's very mediocre atm. Janna/Lulu/Taric are absolute counters to her. On Janna, you just press Q to knock her out of her Q, or right after she ultis. You can also R. Lulu polymorphs are just annoying, and Taric stun/ult ruins skirmishes for Vi.

I'm very sorry to say this, but I can only tell you to get better. Then you'll start seeing the weaknesses of most of the divers out there.

see list of "yeah if ccing worked more than 40% of the time and they didn't just blow their load while polymorphed then I'd have no real greivances"

She's nowhere as bad as she once was. Image is nerfed more she would be unplayable.
