how is irelia allowed to have trinity ,max botrk ,rest tank ,insta kill support/adc/apc ,unkillable ,cc immune almost ,1,7 attack speed out of 70% bonus then you had ap carry kayle full ap ,can even scratch irelia ,because she has 250 armor ,200 mr and does true damage stun heal

how can irelia do so much damage for how tanky she is ?not even jax was like this

What are you trying to do with this post? A quick search of the boards will show you that these types of posts, where the poster lists a bunch of strengths of a champion and then makes the claim that they are over powered, are not supported in the slightest.

You will earn downvotes and if you're unlucky you will get a large number of replies all either insulting you for not understanding Irelia or asking you to elaborate so they can argue with you until one of you is too fed up to continue posting.

Venting is fine, but if you do it here you'll just get more of a headache than you likely want.

she only stuns you if she has less hp % than you, her true damage Is very limited (say 50 or so max), her lifesteal is about the same as an item. She is a melee ranged burst champ, so she does have to be built a bit tanky (but 200 is overdoing it somehow unless they've built completely tanky, which really punishes her burst

honestly is it really venting. i'm reading it over and I'm reading a lot of facts tbh. Granted it can be broken down further. like did Kayle have item 3135 to shred through her resistances. anyone bother using summoner 14 on irelia ... what about summoner 3 . item 3110 goes a long way to counter her etc.

However I will be writing a thread discussing the math behind botrk. It's a really powerful an item just as much ** vs tanks as vs squishy characters. ** If irelia opens up on a full hp adc ... she can q stun and thanks to botrk deals 8% of current hp ! the first 3 hits will deal 20% of the champion's health with just the botrk passive. that's not counting her; base ad, bonus ad, sheen, potential crit, true damage from w, and q's spell damage. not to mention guaranted sheen procs every 1.5 seconds thanks to ult.

Yes on paper 8% current hp does more dmg versus a tank but 100 dmg vs a squish goes just as far as doing 160 damage versus a tank that might have 60% more hp.

a squishy champion will not necessarily equip armor making this 8% even more brutal.

way to balance botrk vs squishy champs

If you were to look at the numbers/math and slot efficiency of botrk there would be little to discuss here.

the titled is a bit exaggerated. Of course she will not do more damage (granted she does deal a lot) but certainly can have more optimal dmg to tankyness ratios, to such lengths that even with a dedicated support an adc can struggle.
