Not to the mage or AD elixer which are the ones bought consistently every single game. No, the first nerf goes to the tank elixer. Which is barely ever bought.
Riot is very consistent if nothing else.
Kingsgrave48 votes"how dare they bug fix 100% tenacity irelia"
Caezium3 votesCould they have just changed the interaction between Irelia and the elixer? It wasn't broken on anyone else that comes to mind.
Oh well.
RogueWill2 votesYou forget this girl that also has some kind of tenacity on her kit 
Specially if you go 
tenacious mastery and swiftness plus her 25% reduced effects of slow in her passive it was practically a Master Yi Ult all the time. Even if you landed a slow it will last like 0.5 sec which would be laughable compared to her 2 sec slow on E.
Von Vetur1 votesShhhhhh or they will nerf my preciousssssss 
Circuit Bear5 votesum.. This was a thing? Tenacity had diminishing returns last I heard. I thought getting over 70% was suppose to be hard just for Irelia mainly.
TehNACHO7 votesPartially true. Iron used to add tenacity (which doesn't cause diminishing returns), not multiply it (which would cause the diminishing returns).
Circuit Bear2 votesInteresting. Sorry I haven't played lately so I didn't hear about this.
I am amazed nobody saw this coming honestly.
Hyrum Graff4 votesTenacity normally has diminishing returns but the elixer didn't. This change made the elixer also have diminishing returns so Irelia couldn't get a better Olaf ult in teamfights.
hashinshin1 votesCan we bug fix 30% lifesteal ADCs and Zed?
Kingsgrave1 votesCan we bug fix 30% lifesteal ADCs and Zed?
It's only 10% assuming you are talking about Elixir of Wrath
Half the duration if you die while it is activated and remove the AD it gives you. Everything else about it is neat though.
Jacky Shen19 votesYou could get 100% tenacity on Irelia with the tank elixir. That's why they changed it.
ProfDrDeath14 votesNot 100%.
But 90%, which is enough to reduce all CC below the level where you can really notice it.
Champion Skin3 votesWell though there are still all these knock up and knock backs all over the place and stuff but yeah pretty op
Ligerzz6 votesIf only i knew this earlier 
ilovecandy694 votesSo what you're saying is they thought they better nerf irelia?
Salzigorimando1 votesHonestly surprised it hasn't been said yet, bonus points to you.
Jamaree16 votesWhere did you get info on which elixir is bought more then others?
Rinky Dinky8 votesI see Iron waaaaaaaay more than the other ones
Mecha MaIphite18 votesI usually just get iron to make myself look big. :D
SecretAgentHulk1 votesAnd that is why it is seen the most often.
Tis a nice day1 votesI'm pretty sure its cuz it makes you nice and big
at night
RasCaelestis6 votesI once got Iron on Viktor simply because steel is an alloy of iron and carbon (with small quantities of other elements) and "Steel can fix all your flaws!"
I was also incredibly fed (like 27/2/13) that game and could insta-kill most of the enemy team even without an elixir. Wanted to mess around a bit that game, and when I told my friend (and teammate that game) why I had it, his groan made everything I sacrificed worth it. ^_^
coppinslinger7 votesThe problem was that was better on certain bruisers than on Tanks anyways, haha.
Honestly, tanks can go for or 
if you want more damage. Since the sorcery adds true damage and not much scaling, it's great on tanks with AoE and can use the extra AP!
ArcticSirius6 votesHonestly, I'm buying the tank one more often and earlier than the other ones. The one I rarely buy is the Ruin one
disregardable1 votesThe Ruin one is the only one I buy before my full build. I just usually forget to use it when I get it.
Salzigorimando1 voteshehehe, ruin+ zz'rot = cruelty to turrets
Lost In Time4 votesYeah, not like my last game consisted of 3 enemies buying Iron Elixir or anything!
I, personally, preferred Elixir of Ruin for actual HP rather than the "FOCUS ME HARDER' size increase but I play fighters when I'm forced to...
PPPPPPPPPPPP2704 votesThat additive tenacity buff is overpowered.
70% reduction in CC duration. That 2 second stun is now .6 seconds.
Heck you would not even know you got stunned from a Riven.
Oh yeah that Irelia 100% tenacity is broken.
Solidair33 votesWas nerfed because of Irelia, it seems.
But tanks suffer more...
ImHerVoice2 voteslmfao i actually did this on irelia with a friend in KR/ its hilarious rammus+ fiddle fear/taunt dont even exist it feels like lmao.
Remlap12232 votesThey nerfed elixir of Ruin? The bastards!
Oh just The 100% Irelia tenacity potion? Remind me why this was a problem again?
YOU BEEN WARNED2 votesThat's not the only tank-ish thing they nerfed.
... It didn't even get popular...
Ale non è male2 votesIt wasn't working properly at first stance, so it's a fix rather than a nerf
Champion Skin1 votesWell it isn't actually a nerf if you don't have any other forms of tenacity (though if you really are a full tank you probably have the tenacity from the masteries)
Orangesilk1 votesI build it on Cho'Gath, but exclusively for shits and giggles, sorcery is WAY better for tanks since it makes them impossible to ignore.
Hellish Prophecy1 votesDepends on what your Cho build is. Usually I will guaranteed put these items on him depending on the situation:
I ALWAYS grab the boots and the AP items shown, though. Tanky with enough AP to be an insane threat even to their tank in teamfights.
f00G3MxfPP1 votesI bought wrath on every ad character (sometimes not irelia) so change is inconsequential for me. Wrath elixir's refresh effect is so good especially if you're ahead. Full snowball potential.
yellowbricks1 votesSo instead of putting a cap on tenacity which would be the logical thing, they nerf another tank thing just because one champ could get close to 100% of a stat that should really just cap at 50 or so? Fucking genius. I think riot is just taking the piss at this point, because there's just no way. They're rapidly approaching full retard.
TheI3igDaddy1 votesI think it was a warranted nerf, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't nerf the others. Take away the rests on Wrath, for example. It heals for 10% of ALL physical damage and refreshes on kill or assist for another block of time. It's stupid.
Iron's still a great elixir for 
though, just to make the dragon shit its pants whenever you walk down the river.

Why do some people want to ruin every fun thing in the game?
TheI3igDaddy1 votesNah I like fun things in the game. Resets aren't one of them though. They only let the user have fun at the expense of everything else.
Done251 votesIt sounds to me like they should have had it work this way in the first place.
Jungle Lux God1 votesThis change is a nerf except when you don't get tenacity from other items. However, this change is also worth it for the clarity because it being changed to work just like other forms of tenacity.
Lost In Time1 votesITT: People don't know what Elixir of Iron is and keeps calling it Elixir of Ruin.
/facepalm
Hellish Prophecy1 votesConsidering Irelia is a big issue with the Elixer, why not make changes that only affect her and some other champs that turn it into something anti-fun overpowered? Instead of nerfing the entire goddamn tank item....once again.
Rikari1 votesbecause someone who can stroll through all forms of cc is balanced.
