Riot: we are planning on buffing Irelia a bit in 9.3

Irelia player: Really, what are you doing?

Riot: we are changing Irelia's passive around so you get attack speed per stack and magic damage at max stacks.

Irelia player: that will make Irelia's already low damage Q not get the on hit magic damage until at 4 stacks though.

Riot: Oh and we are making it so it requires 5 stacks instead of 4 and does 15/30/45+ .25 bonus AD with 30/45/60% attack speed at levels 1/7/13.

Irelia player get phone out and does the calculations

Irelia player: Thats a nerf and only comparable in damage output at level 1, 7 and 13 assuming you have about 50 bonus AD at level 7 and about 80 at level 13

Riot: we are also increasing Irelia's W's damage block against physical damage back up to 50%

Irelia Player: That's nice but not likely to do a whole lot but at this point we will take it. Why not magic damage as well though?

Riot: Oh magic damage block, that is getting removed.

Irelia player: So it is a nerf.

Riot: We are increasing per level stats a bit.

Irelia player: so are we getting the same base AD as Jax, Fiora and Camille of 68 and might have better per level attack speed since you wanted to make Irelia more about sustained damage?

Riot Hell no, you are getting 10 more health per level.

Irelia player: so basically 9.3 is an all around nerf.

Riot: WAIT! we have one more buff

Irelia player: Oh great, what is it this time? Are you deleting the slow on Irelia's ult and increasing the damage by 25?

Riot: Actually we are making Irelia get stack for hitting enemy players and you can get stacks from minions.

Irelia player: So does this mean I get a passive stack for every minion hit by E and every champ?

Riot: no you only get one stack if you hit a minion or a minion and a champion together.

Irelia player: so basically it didn't change anything.

Riot: no if you are getting ganked or in a team fight you can get more than one stack from hitting more tha none enemy champ.

Irelia player: That would be an alright buff if you were not nerfing the passive so much.

Riot: Hey you want a buff or not.

Irelia player sighs and stops for a moment

Irelia player: Honestly I just want to be able to kill minions with Q past 25 minutes again without waiting for another sheen proc. That flat bonus damage to minions is worse than when it was 70% more damage to minions and is getting me killed a lot because of how reliant Irelia is on Q resets to do anything.

Riot: Not going to happen.

Irelia player: Well thanks for a whole lot of "buffs".

Riot: You're welcome
