They are buffing her just so that they can nerf her again and keep the meme alive

The prophet has spoken.

Altho not supposedly in your usual area of expertise you are still very much correct, perhaps due to the overlapping natures of the two subjects.

inb4 they take away Graves' cigar again

ThefrostyvikingJul 16, 20171 votes

Not the cigar ;_;

Take his boots instead, or his cape or gloves.

Entirely naked Graves except for the cigar

ThefrostyvikingJul 16, 20172 votes

Oh hell no ;_;

The cigar goes before that.

She kinda needs a real passive (or just revert her passive) because her current passive is kinda shitty.

Also buffing Frozen Heart might help her.

Arìes WíndJul 16, 20172 votes

Not at all, Triforce gives 20% cdr, and too much CDR ad/tank item are viable on her : Spirit, Maw, DD. And being 40% isnt that gamebreaker anymore on her, 30% is giving a smooth gameplay too

AirKingNeoJul 16, 20171 votes

She used to go TF -> Frozen Heart so it would kinda help.

Honestly I think they should go back to the old model of Irelia's passive but have it be a two stage passive based on her level like Garen's passive is being updated to.

Levels 1-8: Irelia gains 5/15/25% tenacity for 1/2/3+ nearby enemies Levels 9-18: Irelia gains 10/25/40% tenacity for 1/2/3+ nearby enemies

This would make her passive in lane a little weaker than it is now, but it's already so weak for her I doubt it would matter. When she hits level 9 she'd get her old pre-nerf passive back, so she'd actually be able to participate in teamfights.

Seems like a legitimately good idea, but I think it's a little too complex by Riot's typical balancing methods.

That brings back this oldie.

After all the yasuo hate / 10000% banrate i start mastering irelia, i hope it won't become a pick/ban champion / metaship LCS omg whoeverLCS player picked her. I think she is in a reasonnable spot right now, a little bit too weak in certain cases.

Sexy Jack RabbitJul 16, 20171 votes

I agree! I think her issue is just that certain match-ups can feel binary or tedious.

And what buffs are there? Nothing except ''less'' cooldown. It's wortless.

AhristocatsJul 15, 201712 votes

i play irelia a lot, and a lot of time i lost match ups like riven or fiora because my ult was on cd for 10 more sec

Ivern and IreliaJul 16, 20173 votes

Yeah that ultimate cd nerf took a hit on her laning phase

ItsbeghdevJul 18, 20171 votes

Wasn't that, like, what took her out of the competitive meta back in s6?

55976771DEL2Jul 16, 20171 votes

Well that's your fault. You fight when it's on cooldown.

The Blue RajahJul 15, 20174 votes

So you avoid items with cool down reduction on them?

GubaguyJul 15, 20171 votes

Irelia wants a nerf? Better nerf irelia

Ivern and IreliaJul 16, 20171 votes

I honestly hate seeing any kind of buffs to irelia, whether it be directly or to her items (like the triforce buff/change a while back ago), because i know for a fact that nerfs will be coming with in the following few patches.
