Irelia, the Will of the Blades (Champion Concept Rework)

Irelia's stature and position as a General of Ionia puts her at odds with Garen of Demacia and Darius of Noxus, typical bruisers that embodies their city-state's vision. Although Irelia was already planned for a rework, I would like to present my idea for Irelia.

Passive - Ionian Fevor Grants +20% Tenacity. Additionally, when inflicted by a Slow or Snare, Irelia's next Ability or Basic Attack will inflict a 15% / 20% / 25% / 30% / 35% Slow for 2 seconds or a Snare that lasts for 1.5 / 1.7 / 1.9 / 2.1 / 2.3 seconds. Scales from Level 1, 6, 11, 16 and 18.


Q - Bladesurge Irelia throws all of her blades in a target direction of her cursor, spinning in place for 3 seconds, dealing 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 90 + (30% Attack Damage) physical damage each second before returning back to her. Irelia recovers Health equal to 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 + 60% of the total damage dealt upon return.


W - Equilibrium Passive - Irelia blocks and stores 3 / 6 / 9 / 11 / 14 of any incoming physical damage for 4 seconds, increasing up to 11 / 18 / 27 / 33 / 42 based on her missing health. Inactive when on cooldown.

Activate - Irelia creates a barrier with health equal to twice the of the stored damage, absorbing magic damage for 3 seconds.


E - Wall of Blades Launchers her blades into the air before briefly falling in the target direction, dealing 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 + (30% Attack Damage) physical damage and creating an impassable terrain for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, the blades forming the wall will return to Irelia, dealing additional 60 / 90 / 110 / 140 / 170 + (20% Attack Damage) physical damage.


Ultimate - Hiten Style

Passive - If Hiten Style is not on cooldown and upon death, Irelia's will is transferred to her blades and automatically activating Hiten Style for 4 / 5 / 6 seconds, allowing her to continue to Basic Attack. This also grants her Basic Attacks 30% bonus Attack Speed for the duration. This puts Hiten Style at half the cooldown at the end of the duration.

Active - Irelia splits her blade into four, causing her Basic Attacks to strike 4 times and granting 100 / 110 / 120 bonus attack range, each dealing 30% / 35% / 40% of her Attack Damage instead for 9 seconds. Each blade can critically strike and apply on-hit effects.

If there are any nearby targets, attempting to attack another will split one of her strikes to that target, up to 4 enemy units can be attacked simultaneously. If any of the targets leaves Irelia's range, it returns to the original target.

I'm kind of wishy-washy with this Idea, I like the old Irelia but I have to admit, that Hiten style ULT is COOL

While it is an interesting concept, I feel that it departs too far from Irelia's identity as a champion.

I really appreciate the feedback, the concept of abilities primarily came from re-reading her lore, mainly the thing I loved is how she was brought back to life and how her blades danced around her.

I Absolutely Love E- Wall of Blades, personally i think it suits Irelia really well imagine catching a Teemo by surprise in the jungle, trapping him with the wall and then a few seconds later the wall come's back killing him xD, that would be great. I think the ult a cool idea however i don't really think it would suit Irelia all that well game play wise so it would possibly be better on a new champion or an existing one. The same goes for Equilibrium with the Ult, it's cool but i don't think it suits Irelia all that well and would be better on some other champion. Your blade surge is also a cool idea and suits Irelia really well but i don't think it goes well with the rest of the kit.

However saying this, i'm no expert on these things or the game despite playing the game since panda Annie's release back whenever or maybe i'm just being biased because i'm creating my own rework for her right now which i'm very exited about. and no i haven't created a post with it :) [slayer-jinx-catface]
