Literally got 1v1'd and lost to an Irelia as Wukong.
Take note -- we were even in CS, okay? And the best part is -- I was 6-1 and she was 1-5. She only had Sheen, I had a Tiamat, Mercs and Vamp scepter.
That's how you know a champ is broken. :s

If you were 5/1 and she was 1/5, you had
and all she had was 
, then there is no way she is out-damaging you unless you blow everything and she unloads her whole kit. Just Wu's ult alone would do 60% of her health because of the 480% AD ratio on it.
Irelia is a very strong champ, but she is no where near broken. And you losing to her, if it did happen, was about you messing up that fight as opposed to Irelia beating you. Besides, you said you are an Irelia main, you should know what that champ is capable of, and not get blindsided by it

You're right, I should know what Irelia can do. Trust me -- I didn't underestimate her. I just didn't expect her [hell, you don't even believe it] to beat me so hard when I was that far ahead. The second she got Sheen, she was able to burst me from 100% HP to 25% HP with a single combo, and then R spam [which procs sheen, each one but she didn't really utilize that]
I think what annoyed me more than that was the fact she was able to out-trade me at level 1 when I was level 2 by starting E.
KFC Cashier2 votesOh look an irelia main
moomoomilkUwU2 votesExactly... He/she's admitting Irelia needa a nerf and is an Irelia main. #re2pect
Linna Excel10 votesHe's lying.
O Fallen Scholar20 votesRiot smoked weed when they designed her. I mean she has an overloaded kit. That makes it very hard to balance. She needs a rework.
IcyPepper7 votesHow do you define overloaded?
I think she's kind of overtuned >.> Or maybe her passive needs a change.
edit: guys I was just asking an honest question because I was confused...
A Miss Fortune11 votesShe's a sustain-tank-fighter-assassin-mage. She has pretty much no hard fall offs I guess. She has sustain, tankiness, CC, mobility, damage, range, almost all being point and click too.
The Bíg Ticket3 votesNonsense....how is she a mage or a tank rofl? She is not tanky unless she builds it but then every champ can be a tank and her only magic damage is 240 on her E.
Her fall offs are lategame, she gets outscaled by close to every melee toplane carries...such as Jax, Nasus, Aatrox or Yi and even Trundle. On the other side she gets bullied by strong earlygame champs like Renekton, Olaf, Volibear or Udyr.
FluxBound2 votesshe's a tank because she only needs one damage item.
moomoomilkUwU2 votesI guess he said mage just because she has an AP scaling, which is a reason Trinity Force is built on her.
The Bíg Ticket4 votesUm yes...that is totally a reason to build Triforce on her lmao. Why do you guys even comment on this thread when it is obvious you don't even understand anything about Irelia?
moomoomilkUwU2 votesBruh I'm stating the obvious because you clearly didn't understand it... Zzz
The Bíg Ticket3 votesSo 240 (plus 15 from the 30 AP from Triforce) magic damage makes Irelia a mage?
And no, getting 15 additional damage on her E is not a reason to build Triforce on her lmao.

dunno why you're getting downvoted, you're 100% correct
JAGMAG1 votesi cant tell thou if hes saying triforce on her is bad or just the guys reasoning behind it is flawed because its definitely a good item on her.
A Miss Fortune1 votesHer passive can give her a stupid amount of Tenacity so It's insanely impossible to shut her down if she's fed "Just CC her". Well that's what they said about Yi until he did 900 true damage to me in less than a second with Devourer. On top of that, people build her as a tank. I do see Irelia players go Tri Force > BoRK sometimes, but that's only if they're carrying. Most Irelia players typically build full tank though.
As for her being a Mage. She summons a ton of oversized daggers and throws it at your team to heal herself. Actually recently I saw an AP Irelia carry. I don't think I've ever seen AP Irelia Mid but apparently she one shot our Zed so that was cool.
The thing is that while Jax, Nasus, Aatrox, Yi, Trundle, etc outscale her into late game, if they fall behind they're near useless. Irelia has built in true damage, a point and click slow/stun, and she pretty much is immune to all CC. If Irelia falls behind she's still an extremely high threat to the enemy team unlike Jax who would instantly die in a teamfight without his dodge, or Aatrox who can pretty much be one shot.
I won't argue with you on Nasus though.
hur dur lemme feed 20 kills to the enemy team but because i pressed Q 150 times i can literally 1v5 pentakill in the enemy fountain and one-shot the enemy ADC with a full tank build.
The Bíg Ticket2 votesHer ult does physical damage..............
Unlike Yi her true damage actually doesn't scale and reaches its maximum damage at rank 9 with 75. So she will never one shot you in the lategame when you have 2000hp or more. She does have very high base damage which is why she is so strong in the midgame where no one has enoug hp yet to survive her burst, especially not the midlaners and ad carries but she cannot carry on that damage into the lategame. That is why she is perfectly balanced...she has a weak early game, then hits a huge powerspike at level 9 and when she completes Triforce but after 25+ mins she starts falling off and she can't 1v1 most adcs lategame. If you can't play around her strengths/weaknesses then you deserve to lose to her to be honest.
ayNigerianPrince3 votesPerfectly balanced.
Irelia.
You may only pick one.
The Bíg Ticket1 votesSince when do Bronze players know about balance?
A Miss Fortune3 votesDoesn't matter if he's Bronze or Challenger, his elo is irrelevant.
Right now I'm in Silver, I played Ranked after I hit level 30 like an idiot and got into Silver 5. I kept playing a few games after and I did terribly in all of them and lost almost all. After I started playing again however, I have about an 80% winrate or higher. I've only lost 3 or 4 games since I started and climbed to Silver 2 and nearly Silver 1 already. I actually just won a game with a Soraka Top, First pick Katarina mid, and WW jungle on my team last Ranked game and I'm pretty sure almost all of my games exclusively has Gold - high Plat players in it.
Even though I'm Silver, I can play significantly better than people well above my elo and I can also argue on a champion's balance or how healthy their kit is better than most people well above my elo too.
The Bíg Ticket2 votesYour last ranked game had 3 silvers (including you) 6 golds and 1 Plat V. Plat V is a huge difference to high Plat.
Of course you have only 52 ranked games this season, that is not enough to determind your skill level. You might easily be Gold or even Plat level.
If someone has played for 2 seasons and is still Bronze then it is obvious he doens't understand this game.
gaby1best1 votesHuh... this has been posted before. But here we go:
B5 is B4 B4 is B3 B3 is B2 B2 is B1 B1 is S5 ... ... ... P5 is P4 P4 is P3 ... ... D5 is D4 ... Master is Challenger
Bronze 5 is Challenger. So your argument is irrelevant.
Dextix LT2 votesHello, Diamond here, irelia is not balanced. Good day.
The Bíg Ticket1 votesDiamond in EUNE is not even an achievement lol.
Dextix LT1 votesOh of course, the lame excuse every EUW child makes. Alright, if division doesnt matter lets go with a different scoring system. Lets look at LOL king.
Reminder, LOL king has a score system that doesnt care in which region you play.
Dextix LT - 2289 - in top 7000 Danielas Kitten - 2060 - in top 98,000
Yea........ Somehow i am still better than you and have achieved more. Keep being salty and jealous.
The Bíg Ticket1 votesUhm no rofl. That means you are top 7000 in the EUNE server and I am top 98,000 in EUW. And being Diamond IV on EUNE with 11 more losses than wins honestly means shit...I have gotten to Diamond multiple times on this server.
Dextix LT4 votes2289 > 2060
Git gud son.
An eune pleb has better score than you.
P.S. Wins doesnt = skill. (Because being carried isnt skill).
gaby1best1 votesYeah, Challenger in EU is like Silver in Korea. Oh, and you're a jerk.
gaby1best1 votesShe falls off late game, mid game is where she shines. If you position correctly and don't 1v1 because you're fed you will be fine.

Riot smoked weed when they designed her. I mean she has an overloaded kit. That makes it very hard to balance. She needs a rework.
Too be fair Irelia along with Xin Zhao were the two first "bruisers" that Riot created so you've got to cut them some slack on this one.

Ps: mercs, outside the stun, is 1200 gold on ''no stats'' vs her.
h0tkarl4 votesher ult and her stun are magic damage.
EndlessSorcerer5 votesIrelia's ultimate is physical damage, actually.
It's part of the reason that Youmuu's Ghostblade is strong on her against squishy teams if she gets ahead; between her ultimate and Sheen procs, armor penetration scales quite well on her.
Potato Doc6 votesSo irelia is an amazing duelist, while wukong is more of a team fight specialist. Great you realized you shouldnt duel a duelist if that isnt what your champion is made for. Also there is a ton you probably didnt mention such as how you played, out plays ect... Yes irelia is strong, but your reasoning here is a bit flawed. Plus im looking at the 6-1 compared to the 1-5. I wonder how laning phase went? Seems like you were the one who came out on top
Edit: Down vote me, sure, doesnt change the fact im right
Shénzhì5 votes#Irelia. Just one of the many old kits that need to change.
gaby1best1 votesShould I remind you why "Better nerf Irelia" got famous?
Kuroi865 votesThe title was more than enough to spell out the bs.
Lugg4 votesExactly. Irelia can hard lose laning phase, but once she hits level 9, it doesn't matter at all.
Droogzy3 votesI think her kit is fine...but I think its just number tuning. I've been hearing a lot of good suggestions about changing her stun to basing it on percentile health difference which I think would be great change for her.
Sasogwa2 votesStill, I sometimes feel Irelia is the necessary evil preventing the cancer ranged toplaners to take over.
Lugg4 votesUh, she is one of the cancers top lane.
Germaxes2 votesDude, u are broken...
MasterVidallis2 votesIrelia's problem is that she just gets everything she needs from just leveling up. Sustain, cc, tankyness, damage... and synergies obnoxiously well with a trinity force. Add to that the fact her kit is faceroll, there is nothing to work around it's all point and click. Including her stun... She has a poorly designed, overloaded kit and excessive scalling that can only be beaten by outplaying her. She doesn't' have to outplay you to kill you, she can just smash buttons.
