But I like playing Irelia :( (inc downvotes)

SaltyKrackaJun 7, 20162 votes

I'm not saying don't play her.

But she kinda needs to get destroyed right now.

ProfDrDeathJun 7, 20162 votes

Destroyed...maybe not.

Nerfed impactfully? Definitely.

Personally, I'd like to see E's stun duration scales with relative health difference between her and the target, like starting with a 1 second stun at even relative health levels and scaling up to 2 seconds for rank 5.

Or revert the .2 AD buff on her q, considering it chunks squishies for 1/3 of their hp when trinity force sheen proc.

Certainly also a possibility - though I somewhat doubt that that would be enough.

HotonisJun 7, 20162 votes

Pretty much, she mostly got her power spike from the triforce buff. I mean, you decreased cost and made it more efficient. talk about insane.

GayFluffyUnicornJun 7, 20162 votes

Don't forget her Q buff she received a few patches ago.

There are 3 champions played top with higher winrate than her... Why not nerf them first?

SaltyKrackaJun 7, 20162 votes

Because Cass is an outlier with next to no play rate, Wukong has a massively skilled and experienced dedicated playerbase, and Kayle needs nerfs anyways.

SithesisLordJun 7, 20161 votes

Right, because the problem totally is Kayle and not Guinsoo's. AGAIN.

Dunno why they haven´t removed that item yet. It synergizes so well with Kayle it´s almost as a staple to any and every single one of her builds. Even the AD one with the new TF. And it´s so powerful she doesn´t even need a lot more AD and AP afterwards.

Kayle does not need nerfs. She's like Nasus. Let her farm enough and you´re setting yourself up for that juicy Defeat screen.

Yes, this is the word of a Kayle main, therefore a biased one. Then again, so are the words of Zed mains, Yasuo mains, Lee Sin mains, Lucian mains, etcetera etcetera etcetera.

Kayle suffer from the same thing Cass does. Low playrate, which means only experienced people play her.

SaltyKrackaJun 7, 20161 votes

Um.

Yes.

The problem is totally Kayle. Indeed, again.

More pointedly, the problem is Kayle's faceroll earlygame, faceroll gameplan, and Fervor of Battle.

And she most definitely needs nerfs.

SithesisLordJun 8, 20161 votes

Faceroll. I despise that word because of how wrongly it´s used to define champions. Kayle is not a faceroll champion. Neither are Katarina or Yi. Each one has their own little mechanics that the player needs to master properly in order to do well. They are simple champions overall, but what makes them truly hard is all those little details.

A Kayle mid first timer can grab Exhaust against a Yasuo and still feed him.

A Kat needs to use their resets to their maximum in order to get more of them. A Yi needs to know how to weave Qs to avoid CC and know how to use W. A Kayle absolutely needs to know who to ult and when to ult. When and who to slow. When and who to heal. Who to aim her AAs at. And how to kite.

So no, Kayle is not faceroll at all and neither is her gameplan. She's not Riven levels of complicated, but far from faceroll.

The problem is not Kayle. She simply synergizes well with certain items that wouldn´t exist were it not due to her. I mean, Azir wouldn´t even build Nashor's if not for Kayle, and her high winrate is due to her low playrate.

Nearly no one plays her. And those who do, know her inside and out, as well as the matchups she does well against. I´m not one of those, but i´m slowly getting there.

If she was so much of a problem, she'd have Lucian levels of playrate and an enormous winrate, which she doesn´t, because she has matchups she struggles against and is actually well within the balanced side of things. Hence why, with the exception of release Devourer -5AD nerf, she hasn´t received one, and the only one planned was reverted because it would nearly gut her.
