2 things I don't see mentioned in Irelia's rework announcement

• Is she still going to be ionian?

This seems obvious that she should be, but at this point I've got no read on what riot is going to do to her background and ties.

• What about her aspect of the underdog who wins against all odds?

That is one thing that attracted people to her, both in terms of her lore and her kit. She was designed to be able to survive as the underdog. Her Q lets her last hit under tower very easily. Her W gives her sustain and a small way to deal with people who stack armor. Her E is meant to be used once her HP is behind the other guy (even if people complain about it, it's a part of her theme). Her ult gives her both burst and sustain to win trades.

Her lore casts her as the survivor type and I really don't want to see that go.
