What about nocturne?

I have no problem if the champ was released or buffed to "op" status recently. But just because a high elo player does well and everyone starts to play her, I don't think any nerfs should be based off that

Don't play nocturne, and I'm hesitant to make snap judgements about champions I've only really played against.

I don't get why Riot has never uses the term "OP" but instead coins a champion "too strong".

Imo she may need similar changes as renekton, so tanky dps build won't be as strong as it is now.

I believe it would be a good idea for you to try out Nocturne and Renekton before making any changes to Irelia.

@ Off-Topic Note:

I wouldn't be surprised if Trundle will get nerfed in the future either. No one uses him, so no one can see his full potential yet. Once someone brings him up to high elo play, he will gain popularity. It's a common and ridiculous trend, yet it's there.

becasue OP and strong are two different things

what OP means to me is a incredible champion that can 1v5 a team

What strong means to me is a champion that is really good at what he is doing but that champion is better at what he does then anyone els could(EX: being a assassin if someone so good at being a assassin and his 2x better then anyone els at it then he is strong)

thats just IMO

She is not banned in high Elo...... she maybe a first pick but there are better bans such as Shen...because she still isnt a game changer none the less she is a good champ at the moment.

Pretty sure since that incident she will become overplayed and thus warrant a nerf-bat.
Lol this was on old patch when Wriggles and HoG were crazy good. Personally I think that the wriggles change and HoG nerf really hurt Irelia and the rest of tanky dps more than people give it credit for. But my opinion matters not so who cares lol xD
