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.

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"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 think a fair nerf to Irelia would be to make her reset marks (from e and r) on other targets disappear once she q's on a target, just like Diana ult. It's very frustrating having to deal with a champion that can dash 5+ times in a span of 5 seconds from resets.

This video is over a year old and I only played Irelia for a short time but I will miss her old kit probably forever tbh. I understand that as a pro player you might be able to do the same things after the rework as before, and see similarities that I don't between old Irelia and new Irelia. But to me it's like they made a brand new champ and then gave it Irelias Q (the ability I was the worst at using) and Irelias name. It sucks and I just want to be able to play old Irelia again but I probably never will.

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.

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.

Reworked Irelia is a blast to play, she requires way more skill than most mids, sadly she and many other high skill ceiling champs have to be nerfedfor solo queue. I hope Riot makes more champs like her. I also agree with LS view on "over buffing" champs to have fun, but difficult champs be very strong, even outside of pro play. It creates a fun environment rather than the stale game we have since the Aatrox, Akali, Irelia, lb etc nerfs

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.

In my opinion her Q focuses too much on the blade and not enough on the dancer. Overall if we don't consider balance it's a really cool design.

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

Malphite did the same role as her earlier, but not many liked using him. But he was powerful enough at the time to 1 vs 5 if you were good with him. He was still more balanced than irelia.

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.

I have never played old Irelia, but when I saw the rework spotlight I was amazed. 4 years later I have 200k mastery points on the champion ;D. One of the best additions to the game, truly

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 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 :)

You didn't mention it but irelia had ap ratios because ap Irelia was briefly viable. Though not as briefly as ap Irelia on the pbe after her rework. It was fun that rito tried to give every champ build options but frankly that's usually how it went. If alternative builds were viable they would be nerfed. And usually the champion would be restricted anyway or worse just become unworkable with their wonky kit. Though I admit I do kinda miss trolling around with ad crit support nunu.

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.

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.

"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

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.
