I feel like she is extremely mana reliant, making her farming abilities less pronounced. I feel like her jungling is also rather weak. I feel like her cooldowns are also very high, making her a one-time burster in most early game fights. I feel like the powers of champions like buffed Xin and Jarvan and Renekton are comparable, if not better than Irelia's potential.

Lastly, most importantly, I feel like any further nerfs will result in "RIP Irelia"

Yeah, the LoL community seems to like taking what reds say and blowing it massively out of proportion. Just go back, add "I don't control the balancing team, I'm providing my personal opinion (Not the opinion of Riot Games or the balancing team) on the situation. Please stop saying I have confirmed that Irelia is getting nerfed because I have no information on the topic" to all your comments and ignore the idiots who are blowing your opinion out of proportion.

Thanks for commenting and giving your opinion though. It's things like this that make people like Riot. Their interns and staff like to communicate on a more personal level with their users. Props to you Tobster =]

I like the part of this thread where people complain that Riot guy said "too strong" instead of "OP".

cy@ irelia players

I really hate these threads no champ is a "waste" of IP because:

1. There is no limit to how much IP you can get
2. Pretty much every champ will have their time to be good. Even if they nerf Irelia she won't be nerfed to hell and if she is she will probably get buffed next patch.

Seriously its a champion in a game its not like your buying a car.

Cmon brah you are happy with Ryze but not ok with Irelia?Shen if not banned then picked,Nocturne......Thats just silly.


O I think it does as it seems that you dont know what you are doing.One day Phreak is making fun of EU picking/banning Iirelia,then one tournament game latter - Whoaaaaa Irelia op op op nerf nerf nerf!!! Thats just silly.

Thats the point really, every champion have their time to be good. Why not have more balanced champions like Ashe, Annie and Warwick, instead of champions like Pantheon or Jax who are either OP or UP? I know why, cause Riot releases champions every 2 weeks regardless of internal testing, and then when the community figures out how to use them, or does not find success with them, they throw the nerfhammer or give them buffs.

Right now buying a champion is like playing a game of Russian Roulette.

Since when does a champ getting banned on high elo play merits a nerf?

I don't see Riot making any changes to Rammus/Shen.

I find it personally disappointing that I have to create an alt account to post on our own forums. I joined Riot Games b/c I loved the fact that this was the one game company that made a significant effort to interact with its fans. But now it seems like the community constantly goes out of their way to make any red who express an opinion look incompetent.

I realize this may only be a small minority, but is still very discouraging nonetheless.

Eh, irelia is powerful, i don't think shes OP.

When you think about it, shes no more powerful than other "top picks" at this time, like corki, shen, amumu, ashe, anivia, etc.

Weather this signals OPness is up to debate, but i think old ezreal/TF/jax/nocturne/current shen levels of OP are different from priority pick levels of OP.
