Nerf Irelia?!?!? (Gbay99)

Hekate··2 votes·1,358 views

Recently Gbay99 created a video concerning Irelia, and whether she be nerfed, or other top laners buffed. A few points he brought up were how forgiving she was and how strong her stun is. To make Irelia a little more balanced and more "skill" oriented, what if you, Riot, implemented a system on her E where stun duration scaled based on the targets current HP. When you look at it, if the target is at full HP, the stun would last as long as it normally would, no change at all. Now say Irelia is fighting and at 10% HP left and her target is at 30%. In most situations, if Irelia has her stun up, she would manage to kill them. Now if the stun duration shortens, say, by a second. It would come down more to skill on both sides. Obviously this is just an idea and would take a lot of balancing, but I think Irelia is a lot less forgiving and requires a but more skill this way.

It's so refreshing to hear a main say that their champ isn't balanced.

Play Darius. He Out trades her at all stages of the game if built correctly. He peels her from squishies with his pull and slow + attackspeed slow. His passive counters her healing.

Did you even watch the video? He stated that Irelia can still be relevant and strong, no matter how behind she is, as opposed to other top-laners.

Yeah if she can farm. Darius can zone her so hard she can't even farm.

irelia is for sure very strong since she can start loosing a trade then come back from it shes literally the comeback queen and i learned to play irelia from gbay so hearing him say it waaaaay more merit but heres another thing shes not so good in team fights and she isnt good at tower killing like other top laners even tanks do more to towers but hey thats her weaknesses in my book shes a super awsome assassin/duelist type character
