Welcome back.

I thought this was because you knew we come back to your old videos XD. Still scarred from the -5 movement speed patch 💀

Damn, this game has changed so much since I stopped playing in mid season 4

oh my, thank you.

please make a video about evelynn :)

you have discord or something?

LeBlanc can still one shot you with boots at level 3

777

Leblanc can STILL oneshot you with boots at level 3

Oh my god. Koničiwa sensei

for my next trick, I'll make their life bar...... disappear

Leblanc can still oneshot you with boots at lvl 3

As someone who played around the time of the "Better nerf Irelia meme", I think it's misunderstood a little today. Irelia was nerfed twice in quick succession in season 2. Right around the time some champions were far more broken than her. The second nerf came in a patch that did not touch any of the champs considered far more OP in S2, like Mordekaiser. So the joke was about Riot overlooking a ton of broken champions in favor of nerfing something else, not about Riot hating Irelia specifically.

They still do that. Aurelion is nerfed but Sylas, Katarina and others are still as strong as ever

nah, it wasnt because of that. it was because after players found out how to play irelia and where to play her (with trinity as the way to go, then usually hexdrinker into tank) riot didnt give a fk about her. they nerfed/buffed things like mordekaiser, lb, kassadin, introduced and removed BC meta, DFG, while ignoring that irelia was overtuned AF. they addressed thing like maw, wriggles, and all the other jungle shit, brought yasuo etc into the game, all while barely touching irelia. so people started a subtle shitstorm. on nearly every patchnote people kept saying: yeah, how about you nerfed irelia, to which people, who grew to love here made it a meme "yeah, better nerf irelia". new players and websites misunderstood that meme and spread the rumor that she was nerfed the whole time. (what you mentioned played a big part, but isnt the whole story about the meme) :)

Claire that item was op as fuck... and madreds blood razor

m4Dfest7 there was no banning in champ select at that time...Mord was op cause of items like forces of nature which was removed from the game.

@Ruxbon i explained it a little better in another comment, but at the time, the original Evelynn had just had her stun removed in the summer of 2011 and replaced with a slow, which "ruined" the character and they left her this way for months until they figured out a stealth overhaul and a rework for her and Twitch. Nobody wanted that to happen to their favorite champion. While it's true that they nerfed her, those were only really minor nerfs, and she actually saw a couple of buffs as well in that time where irelia mains cried about her only getting nerfs. She was never at risk of turning out that way because the truth of the matter is that she was overloaded by league standards at the time. But the Evelynn nerf loomed on in people's heads.

The Irelia rework is probably one of the best thing ever in league history. From the theme, artwork and mechanics really bring this champion and the game to a new level. A big improvement to those old boring skills

"Irelia is nearing on 9 years old" Yeah go tell that to rule 34

9 in dog years

wait you`re telling me she isnt legal yet? ohhhh fuck better go to plan 795 since 794 failed

but she's still illegal so FBI OPEN UP!!!!

lol

Never forget the hardest irelia nerf ever... - 5 Movementspeed xD

@lee qq Sad thing is you explain it to the wrong person. I know this, likle you said it is a joke, because it became a meme.

tbh, 5ms is a big nerf, ik this is a joke but base ms nerf no matter how small the number is will never be a small nerf, reason is because you always move throughout the game, 5ms loss for a 30mins game of nonstop moving will result in a lot of distance, not to mention lower ms will make it much harder to dodge skillshots, an example of how big it this nerf is is that karthus was a meta jungler at one point of the game, he was top tier, but then he received a 5ms nerf reducing his base ms from 330 to 325, he dropped immediately to A or B tier from god tier

@Χρήστος Νατσίκος yeah, that killed pyke as a solo laner

Believe ir not that nerf is even worse the E nerf

@zeynep başar Vladimir Irelia Rengar Kassadin Diana

You surely deserve more views for this amazing production, I can't imagine how much time you spent editing and doing the research, all the information was well put together and you even gave me a reason to play Irelia! Great content, you gained a new sub!

Few days after her rework Irelia became an Ap Midlane Assassin.. Her W can reduce up to 100% physical and magical dmg (when charged at its maximum)at a certain AP(i think it was 800+, ofcourse with the right setup and build) *Irelia at 30% HP* *Veigar ults* *Irelia uses W* "FaKEr wHaT Was That"

@Egal Legal omg yes, I just recently the news too! I'm happy!!

@Just A Player and now they added it again

@Yanis A. She used to reduce magic damage, now I'm sad that they removed it.

Physical tho, not magical

"Better nerf Irelia" - old joke "Better nerf Akali" - new joke

@Munchkkinz And yet, people still cant play her. At least that did not change.

ahhh now irelia is broken again. nature is healing

@Meidan Rrustemi good hope more to come

Akalli nerf? Nice

akali got nerfed

Next time you do something like this, are you able to go over the champion's abilities and what they did before they were reworked? I'm quite a new player and it would be pretty good for me!

Excellently produced and researched just like your other ones. Love it. AP Irelia was unfortuantely ignored though :(

Thank you for the kind words!!

"I've never killed a person... just a lot of Noxians..."

THAT"S RACIST.jpg It actually is, too. Ionians are depicted in the cinematics and in-game characters as east Asian. The Noxians (along with Demacia, Piltover/Zaun) are made of white and black people, as we think of them. The Shurimans are middle eastern. I'm not sure what other examples there are, such as Ixtal. Targon doesnt really "count" since its mostly represented by gods? The Frejlord are Scandanavians, mostly? So yeah, Irelia is the leader of a hate movement apparently.

Oh

"Bury them in Noxus, our land will not have them!'"

Irelia: “Balance in all things.” Exil: “Not everything is about being perfectly balanced.”

These videos are insane, I can only imagine the time and effort that goes into them, so thank you for that. I watched your previous vids a few months ago and loved those too so I’ve been hoping you would make more. If you’re looking for another champion to do I would absolutely love to see Azir, but Akali would be cool as well.

Absolutely loving these videos! Really well done and interesting! I'd love to see an Akali or Talon version of these!

so glad you've included her lore background as well as she plays quite a role in the story of ionia great content O.O

This was amazing quality keep up the good work man!

Im glad you thought so!!!

29:08 I totally disagree with the statement that people dont want something to be fair to play against. In fact a lot of players I know hate nearly all the new releases because of their unfun/unfair kit when playing against. Some of them left the game, because they didnt want to stick around til they are kinda finetuned. Akali was/is the worst of them all with Irealia and Sylas close behind. It took Riot over half a year to finally get rid of her stealth, which was a major point why she is banned 80% of the time. I banned her every single game since I didnt want to deal with this shit. This led to playing a ton against Yasuo and Irealia in that time since I cant ban them. Zoe is a fine champion atm, but it took so long, that even now there is like a switch set to hate her.

When I play against someone, what makes it a fun experience is knowing that both of us are applying our knowledge of the game and of our champions to make skill based decisions and try to one-up each other. Knowing that there is a dinamic, ever-shifting reasoning behind us doing what we do makes it engaging. Even if a I feel that a Champion is just more powerful than mine, it is presented to me as a fun challenge, trying to work around that champion's strenghts to find their weak spots. I am OK with Leblanc's E range and root time being extremely long for an assasin because I know I can dodge it, I can sidestep it, I can cause her to whiff it. If I walk in a straight line like a headless chicken, she will hit me not because the ability is overpowered or unfair, but because I made a mistake. I know that it takes the opponent skill to read my movements and land it. I am NOT OK with Sylas' W being a dash with execute damage and self heal because there is no way for me to apply my skill to influence the result: I know only one thing: Sylas' W is going to hit me. Every. Time. He. Wants. Because no skill is involved in casting it. No aim, no movement prediction, no pattern recognition. Nothing. Just point and click. And no amount of skill on my part will ever influence the result. I don't want all champs to be perfectly equally powerful. What I want is not to find myself into a situation where the enemy champ is about to do something that it can always do, regardless of the skill level of the player controlling them, and where I don't have any way to use my own skills to counter that something. Because that is what makes a champion frustrating to play against.

Probably the best rework they have made even though I really hate playing against her 😂 frustrating to no end when the enemy Irelia is good and knows what they’re doing

This should definitely have more views - great video and clear a lot of effort went into it. Thanks for covering my favorite champion!

Great video! But I really miss the time around patch 5.22 where you'd rush guinsoo's first. It's the most memorable time for me as an Irelia main. Killing your enemy, then waiting fully stacked under his tower till he tp'd back and just kill him again in a second. Still good memories in here. Thanks!

I was an Irelia main and was in a few Irelia main communities, many, infact most of the mains I knew including myself stopped playing Irelia after the rework. She just doesn't have the same playstyle or general feel anymore. I ended up playing a lot of Riven and eventually becoming a jungle main.

old irelia was way easier to play, a lot of ppl that mained her day 1 were getting bored with old irelia, the rework made her into a very unique champ imo

@Délcio Rogério yeah, I'm glad the old Irelia is dead, she sucked.

Irelia is dead, they just put the same name in this new character.

I was an Irelia main until the rework. I never got to remaster her because of the high expectations the team puts on me because of my mastery. They kept on flaming me until I just gave up.

BadJungler definitely agree, I struggle at first but I became good at playing her. We just need consistemt practice

wow, just found your channel and that was easily one of the best videos ive seen in a while. You earned this subscription and I will be sure to watch the rest of your content.

Really great content! Thankfully to you, Exil, me and many more other people are learning the League history from the beginning. Keep that content, you are doing it awesome!

I love ur ability to explain something without sounding like some nark like most streamers/League Youtubers do. You don't go too deep into statistics on a champ to determine how good or bad a champ is to play (which is good since the moral of a story is a champs success is based on the player) You are pleasant to listen to, and your explanations are not a lowkey shot in the knee at the skill level of the people who watch your videos or the people who play the champion. Thank you for being you!

These are fantastic. Id love to see a Singed full history, since hes be in the game since release and had a lot of small fundamental changes and sprite reworks.

I started this game towards the end of season 1, very nostalgic and accurate video. Thank you for bringing me a trip down memory lane

i remember she became my main champ just days before her rework. i actually loved her before because of her ultimate but now i dont think i’ll ever play her again because she’s built different now😅

Excellent video, I really loved your narration! Honestly, if Irelia had her old visuals with the new gameplay I'd play her more, but unfortunately, I don't like the visuals on the rework :/

incredible video, the production quality is so good! also seeing gbay in those clips triggered some nostalgia

Really awesome work man. I've been wanting to see the history of Irelia for a while.

man this video gave me nostalgia. the first time i picked her to try her out at around season 4 i immediately fell in love with her and became otp with her. i never got bored of her and when the rework came out i was both exited and worried but in the end i loved her again and i still play her

I have been waiting so long for another league documentary from you. I’ve watched the riven and yasuo documentaries you’ve made several times. Glad to see your content again!

By far my favorite video about Irelia. You really sum it well. Irelia is the reason why I keep playing LoL. She is fun to play even she nerfed many times. Her theme, music and playstyle what makes Irelia fun to play

with 2017 irelia, i could and did play her in 5 positions. I really miss the old ire

28:22 and onwards really made me tear up. Thank you for giving our Ionian queen some love.

she is one of my favorite champs,as i specialize in defensive gaming and tanks.i played from 2013 to 2016.irelia is one of the best defensive carry during laning phase, her radar like passive that triggers whenever there is an enemy champion planning to gank ur lane, her weak early game makes ur opponent wants to tower dive when ur just farming in front of ur tower. she is a complete package as long as u play safely during early game.

Irelia was my main for 3 years. played her one time after rework and quit the game xD but thanks for the good memories bro

true, the aesthetic and lore of reworked irelia is amazing and top notch, im a range kind of player but it changed ever since irelia release, and it really helped me understand more on how melees work

Amazing video man! ^^ I love these stories and your videos in general, keep it up.

Glad to hear that !!

Dang I kinda want to see a series of this. I wonder what a ryze one would look like after 3 reworks and a cancelled rework on pbe. His many nerfs and him being in worlds.

@Leon Jackson II oh yeah that would be cool!

Fiora shares a similar story I believe. I love Irelia and Fiora for the exact reason you said in the video... Feeling like a pro when I play them well.

Totally agree history of ryze is a very cool concept. Will definitely make more

I totally forgot that they got ICU to help with the rework, that was so dope when he announced it on his channel a week before the update. They should do stuff like that more often

My only problem with the rework is that I feel like the damage reduction skill is out of place for her kit. If they move the on hit magic damage from passive and healing from Q to a "newer" W, she would feel more like irelia to me. The attack speed portion of the passive is fine as long as it was balanced with above. I have no problem with the new E and R. Both great upgrades for how her kit flows.

I still don't like her new W tho, I just feels kinda off having to stand still on a highly mobile melee champion. Also miss her true damage, but besides that I agree she's probably one of Riot's best reworks.

2021 here first time watching this video. so much memories playing the old irelia. Especially 2013 to 2017. back then I claimed the rank with irelia along to diamond 2. Then later went to uni and played less and less and in 2018 someone told me the rework and I went back to the game played some old irelia month before her rework. She did teach me a lot about the game though. Back then I did not have good awareness and control of jungle when I play top lane but when playing irelia, just like what you said, you need to be very careful with details of the game rather than your champions abilities. The way of controlling the lane minions and deception to draw them to try kill you under turret. I would say about 70 to 80 percent time I can snowball with her back then. I recently came back to the game and trying to master the new irelia. Tbh, I dont feel too much different from the old one. I can use her q quite good but not her e, it's quite a pain as her e is really the wild card that can turn the tide sometimes. I love her new passive and ult. One note for your video is that I think the way to nerf irelia is to nerf her kits, like trinity and other stuff you'd get when playing irelia. I remember in s4 I'd just try to get trinity within 10 mins of the game and then just build a warmog's armor, this will normally happen between 10 to 15 mins of the game. I normally fight people at level 4 level 7 and level 11. She is really strong at these levels. Later I think they made trinity more expensive so the time you get would be delayed so is the warmog, so she is not as strong as her use to be but nonetheless she was really strong in s5 and s6 and I am pretty sure no changes was done to her abilities. There were rumours that before her initial release, her w had 120 true damage at full level but it would be disastrous for other champions and quite unbalanced so they didn't do that. But nonetheless 75 was really good damage normally with shine you can win a fight easily on top(btw I like to take attack damage runne not the attack speed back then.), the double damage shine brings with the true damage was unbearable for most top laners.

i miss the old irelia. i love the rework and shes rly fun to play. but old irelia will always have a special place for me. she was the first character i truly learned to play back in season 1

Just on the subject of reworks, the year they reworked aatrox I just started to play and get really good with him the saddest thing was how massively he changed, he no longer had anything to do with attack speed and was all ability based, really sad about that.

Old irrelia was my favorite champ. after the rework I dont even see the same champion anymore, I dont see the champ that I fell in love with. I just wish they didnt change her so much. I wish it was more so just a visual rework. I still have her old blade as a key chain to remember her by.

Would be amazing if you do a similar thing like this for Yorick. This Video was amazing: It was interesting and i even learned some things about Irelia :D

I miss old Irelia so much, she was the first champ I got a penta on.

I haven't even watched the video. Thank you. I mained and loved this champ until she was reworked and am looking forward to hearing all about her.

I quit the game after the rework, league was getting less and less fun as it was but loosing my main was too much.

@Leon Gashwig Yeah, she feels better.

I'll take what I can get, but I pray for a revert everyday

The new Irelia just doesn't feel the same

Irelia was my first champ I played in a real game, way way back (back when I thought you needed TWO BOOTS). Been though a lot of this, and even though she was my first lvl 6, I haven't played her much since the rework. (But that is more I stopped that play style champs before than because of Irelia rework).

Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to go and play that champ relentlessly xD Thanks for sharing

here's the thing. irelia was so simple, so elegant and a beautiful champion back then before the rework and she is definetly not the only one. Alot of champions got reworked in something more complicated and hard to master. Yes it is nice to have a challange for the people who are LCS players but in the end it is still just a game that everyone should enjoy not only high elo players. i miss the old Aatrox, Irelia, Warwick, Kayle at the top of my head.

I played Irelia as one of my few toplane champions and she was always a fun pick and ever relevant because she had no core items apart from trinity force. The fact that she had literally no scaling apart from indirect scaling for W with attack speed (more attacks, more sustain and true damage) and Q with attack damage (higher execute threshold means easier resets) gave her huge flexibility in her build. If ever I was losing lane hard I could always build full tank after sheen and complete trinity later on to still become a relevant source of damage while primarily I could just dive in and stun the adc. Her E was an extremely cool mechanic, all it needed to become better in todays game was a clear visual when it would stun, making it both easier to use correctly and easier to counter (even though countering it wasn't easy as the e would stun you even if you flashed, kinda like Garen ult). Also using a skillshot ult to get targets low enough to get resets made for fun gameplay, especially in midlane where you could use the raptor camp to do so. For me Irelia's primary role was a drain tank fighter, basically what conqueror makes out of every fighter today. You had enough damage to threaten the enemy carries but not enough to oneshot them, enough tankiness and tenacity to not instantly die when you engaged into 5 enemies and you were the ultimate Rammus, Malphite and Maokai killer, champions that were unkillable back then when your adc had died in a teamfight, meaning the could often stop you from getting objectives after a won fight. But not when you played Irelia.

I was new to league back when I discovered pre-reworked Irelia and Akali. I am like destined to main them. From bronze 5 to silver 2 in 4 days playing Irelia. Now I hate that both of them have been nerfed too much or at least removed their unique abilities.

I really miss the old irelia, she was my main top laner, I am not having as much fun as I used to with the new Irelia

a complete history to healer/shield supports?i feel like they got so nerfed to the point riot doesnt even know what to do with them like decaying shield and nerfing support items over and over...

He did one on ardent after your comment

@Me AndMeToo truth is what counters what changes with time, that's all there is to it, just like a burster can counter another burster if it does the same job better

@Ern de Che I'm pretty sure kill lanes counter enchanters (sustain lanes.) With poke lanes countering kill lanes.

@Jude Aberdeen Playing against kill lanes has always been cancer, and they always complain about the heal lanes that are intended to counter them if they can keep from dying....

Playing against heal/shield bots was cancer in Ardent meta. I hope we never have that meta again

To be honest, I enjoy the new Irelia more than the old one. She's more fun to play with more ways to outplay enemies.

This was really well done and I can see the time you spent on this. GGWP

I started League in late season 8 and Irelia was the first champion i ever mained, I've just recently started getting into playing her reworked form and it's a bit harder than i was expecting. Well what would life be without a bit of challenge, although the stun being moved from point and click to a skillshot is defiantly an interesting change.

Great video, I would be interested in the history of Rengar (if your going to do more "Complete History Of" videos)

This was so well put together. Very nicely done.

My all time favourite champ, my by far most played champ. Currently the only champ I can play. The champ I just recently got Diamond on EUW with. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for these vids! They are keeping me most entertained during this quarantine, do evelynn next! Lol! Keep up the great work!!!!

The old guides are so fun to look at but I personally enjoy seeing the old gameplay and how much the look of LOL has changed

Irelia is one of the most mesmerizing and beautiful champions league has to offer and I've wanted to main her due to her fantastic skins and smooth animations, even though her kit is not my playstyle and I don't play toplane often.

this video isnt just another "hey check out the new op build" league video, this is a piece of art and i appreciate your drive to make something of quality instead of trying tp pump out quantity, we need you on this platform, thank you.

Thats awesome, what a great compliment. Thank you.

These videos are so well made, i love them.

I joined League of Legends at Season 7 so I don't really know much of Irelia's history until her rework. Even after her rework, she was nerfed the most from what I experienced with that champion. Even with the nerfs, I still manage to find a way to make Irelia strong. Stay strong, Irelia mains!

I was a main Irelia before the rework and never touched her again after it. She was one of the funniest champions out there and I really miss that playstyle :(

Irelia mid was the perfect thing and the best role for her and I don't know why riot wanted her so bad in top lane

great video btw, I really love it. it would be great to make a Galio History

The rework sent shockwaves thought the community. Competitive players and streamers started picking her up, and I hit level 7 mastery on Poppy.

"The music, the art, the abilities, the lore, the skins, the gameplay, coupled together to be one of the most exciting things in gaming. She is so fun, so fast, so quick and feels so smooth to play" Sounds like the perfect pve MMO character, not a pvp champion to invalidate every other champion similar to it

Amazing video.... Enjoyed it thoroughly.... Very much appreciated as an irelia main.

Im so glad to hear that

Right in the feelings :( rip irelia

totally agree on your opinion of the best rework, i mean i loved her q before but the rest was so lame then they reworked everything but her q and now i play mostly her, always mid. i know people call her cancer but playing her is just the most fun ive had on a video game theres always a thing you couldve done better

honestly i miss old irelia more than any other old champion/pre rework. the new one doesnt feel as satisfying to kill someone, it feels like an "ofc"

Ive been playing lol since season 2 and always been a support main and never really stopped playing but then I took a break from lol 2 weeks before Irelia rework released, i took me like 9 months to even think about playing again. When i came back i found that 2 of my favorite champs of all time received a rework (Irelia and Akali) and i tried them both out. Believe me when i say that ive never felt so strong, happy and motivated to play league of legends until i played this 2 reworked champions. This 2 are the reason im back playing regularly and i love them so damn much. The nerfs on both of them really hitted hard at least for me because of my new playstyle do to both of them because im only used to play support champions so this was a new experience for me. It didn’t last long for me since i played them too late but man im telling you that month felt amazing i cannot compare any of my moments with this game than that first month maining those 2 and getting them to M7 in like 1 week for each. All that you said at the end of the video, i felt all that. Loved the video! ❤️

I was an Irelia main until the rework. I just prefer the old Irelia. The new Irelia is more efficient and effective against team fights while the old one is more ideal for one on one. Nevertheless, I enjoyed playing the old Irelia since I get to strategize more on how to cut down the enemy team one by one. My gameplay with Irelia, although predominantly top, was more like a roaming assassin like jungle. And it was always fun to cull the enemy team number for a better fight. That being said, everything the old Irelia could do, the new Irelia could do better and I only speak because of sentiment and my inability to remaster her.

One thing I’ve noticed about rito is when a champion doesn’t fit in into their intended mold they change it to make it THEIR mold, not the players choices.

indeed

4:30 Oooh boy, let me tell you a tale of the old range carry dominance in Dota (2009-2010). If you chose a melee carry, your first core was Vanguard and Hood. Not only were Range carries more dominant, burst damage gankers were a lot more dangerous as well due to the lower use of observe wards. Now couple that with games generally having 2 roaming CC supports as early as lv1 and you're promised a bad time. Shadow Fiend, Drow Ranger, Medusa were the way to go for quite a while. This of course didn't matter all that much in pubs, but in organized matches it was quite the mountain to climb as a melee carry.

I just want her extra shield damage and magic resist on her W back. Just lower the numbers :,) Also this was a phenomal video. 5/7

thank you for making a video that encompasses my favorite champion 💜

I am sad because two of my all time favorite champs (pre rework) were, you guessed it, reworked. I used to main the "unplayable" Evelynn and Irelia.. Good 'ole times...

Irelia would be fun if she had any of her old strengths still. Overall as an Irelia main the champion feels too reliant on R and a very slow passive, and the champion has no reliable sustain anymore especially since lifesteal has been changed.

The conclusion about irelia at the end of clip is true. Irelia is fun to play if you play well not because its over load of damge. Even the nerf riot still keep how smooth irelia play mechanic. I used to angry about her passive nerf (lost dmg per stack) but it make sense to not made her OP. TF is one of the success irelia player still balance team have to care about overflow of damage brust late game champ (exp.rengar/evelyn) I dont want riot to nerf it to the ground but more expose weakness (my though is assassin should dominate mid to early late game and tone down the more late game) But its may be league game is faster than before (25-40 min) cause too much assassin flow in game now

I have been playing league since season one, hearing you talk about how bad it feels to have your mains reworked hit right home, these are the champs that i have mained in all that time (and yes i have always been a one trick pony): Irelia, Vlad, Ryze (through 3 iterations of him) and Swain, in 2016 i stopped playing for a little over a year, just to come back to a game where i didnt how how to play any champion anymore - felt very alienating :( To all those who will definitely experience this in the future, dont give up dont be sad, hold dear your memory and embrace something new :)

I got into the game around the time of her rework (and am still terrible at the game) but I've played her almost exclusively ever since

Irelia went from a simple champion that got nerfed a lot to a complicated champion who still gets nerfed a lot.

Could you do Aatrox next? I think that he has interesting history

Skadfled sadly the old one’s design would be perfect against champs like riven and fiora nowadays, ironically massive aatrox counters right now.

@Sauron I agree, the kit is very different than what it was. Many people mained him for his autoattacking/lifestealing aspect. They decided to drift from aa based champ to a caster bruiser. I never really fell in love with the old aatrox but the new one is much better imo

Skadfled the good times were enough, they slaughtered his kit, and they knew the failed his rework. Literally a week after the rework they changed his entire kit’s stats. That’s not a healthy rework is it?

@Sauron he's waay more viable than his old version and every Champion has their own counter champions. People tend to say that old aatrox was better but they always forget that he was literally unplayable for 3/4 of his existence and only remember the "good times".

Skadfled oh wow u replied, so yeah. Old aatrox was better than his current state, now he’s easily countered by any champion that’s not him sadly.

Seeing the old rune page just made me feel some nostalgia for it

I’ll be honest It took me a week to learn the new irelia even as a old ire main xd

I was an Irelia main for a long time, but I can’t for the life of me play the reworked version. Her E and passive just don’t click with me. But I really like Kayn, and I was transitioning to being a Kayn main around the rework time anyways, so it worked out.

This was awesome. You should do it for more champs. Maybe Katarina? 🙂

Logan Schmidt man I was joking

@Kepler ' maybe lol... if the enemy team were bots and didn't know that there was actually a counter to katarina...

GD Kepler more like 15 buttons

did you know that you can get penta with kat for just pressing 5 buttons?

wana see kata ;)

Irelia has been my main top laner ever since season 7 (I started S6 and discovered her in S7). I tried my best to master her until I constantly destroying Yasuo one-tricks in bronze(Yasuo players in bronze are easy to read). But now that she's reworked, she's stuck at mastery 5 and I switched to Fiora.

I miss the old Irelia E, that stun was the best thing.
