Irelia needs to be nerfed finally

In my opinion Irelia is way to strong rn. She deals a shit ton of damage in teamfights while beeing mobile as fck... I thought about nerfing her "marks".... Its like most of the AOE Abilities are limited to like 3 enemies (like Katarina). So why dont you make the same to her ult ? And if this wont help (and it wont help in the first place) you should set a cooldown on her marks... Like u can´t do EQRQQ anymore instead you do EQRQ and your Q goes on cd because you can´t apply multiple marks to the same enemy within 5 ot 6 seconds... I´d love to hear all of your thoughts about these "changes" and feel free to critizice my ideas unless you dont flame me. (btw sry for my bad english LUL ) IBroughtMyZZRot

I've found that she falls off really hard once the enemy team buys armor and stays grouped. Around the 28-35 minute mark she starts to fall off pretty hard. However, she is a POWERHOUSE from about 8-25 minutes in the game. I wonder if there's a certain nerf that would decrease her midgame power but leave her early and lategame untouched?

To be honest, Irelia's power spike usually occurs when she buys her Trinity Force tied in with Sterak's Gage. However, there is a tentative nerf to Sterak's Gage for Trinity Force users on PBE which changes the passive +50% Base AD to +50% Bonus AD, which will hurt her damage during mid-game to late. Additionally, it will make all other champions that build Sterak's Gage with Bonus AD scaling significantly stronger (e.g. Darius).

The thing with irelia is you have to shut her down early and constantly keep her down by never letting her free farm after landing phase. Kled does fairly well against irelia if you know what you are doing.

I respectfully disagree, shes fine as is. irelia was already nerfed and hotfixed what more do you people want lol. I pick people like Garen and destroy irelia every time. she'd need jungle help.

Maybe just reduce her Q damage every time she uses it on the same target in a short time span? That way she's still going to be mobile, but will do less damage than she does now.
