Why does everyone say nerf irelia

Also how maybe next time we should pick our words better as a community, so riot can understand what we mean. I think both of these are good ideas and think riot will make the right choice overall about what to do.

We believe in them!! That's about all again I want to thank Void for coming by to talk. Check out his links down below. Thanks everyone for watching have a good one! The max damage of Defiant Dance W has been increased, however will see a decrease in damage reduction. Ultimately, most of these changes will see Irelia become a significantly weaker champion in the early game.

At the same time, this prospective change is not a total nerf. While getting out of laning phase may be harder, the later phases may be worth it.

The changes are far from hitting the live server, as Patch What are your expectations for week 3? Join the discussion on social media or on our Discord.

The two organizations reportedly joined forces to prevent the former G2 midlaner from joining Fnatic in the offseason, though Riot has found both parties innocent after investigation. She poured water into a small wooden bowl, and dipped in a rag.

The simple act of cleaning the shards had become a ritual, one that she felt compelled to undertake after every battle she fought. The water slowly turned red as she worked. But beneath the fresh blood, the metal carried much darker, older stains that she could never seem to remove completely.

Lost in thought, she began to slide the blades around, slowly reforming them into her family crest. Its three symbols lay cracked before her, representing the Xan name, her home province, and the rest of the First Lands, all in harmony. Her ancestors had always lived by the teachings of Karma. They inflicted no harm on anyone, regardless of circumstance. And now, here was their seal and crest turned into weapons, and takers of countless lives at that. She could feel the eyes of her brothers upon her.

Even in their eternal rest, at one with the Spirit of Ionia, she feared earning their disappointment, their resentment. She pictured her dear old O-ma too, broken and sobbing, devastated by each kill The blades would never be clean. She knew that—but she would still do right by those she had harmed. She passed many of her followers on her way to the burial grounds. Though they looked to Irelia for leadership, now more than ever, she recognized so few of them. With each winter the faces became less familiar, as the last of the old resistance were replaced by new and more zealous fighters.

They came from faraway provinces, and towns she had never heard of. Even so, she halted often to return their half-hearted salutes and bows, and would accept none of their help in dragging the shrouded body of her dead attacker along the road.

Finding an open patch beneath the blossom-heavy branches of a tree, Irelia set him down carefully, and turned to join in the grief of the widows and widowers, the orphaned sons and daughters. The Brotherhood would grip this land in an iron fist.

Her eyes fell upon an old woman, sat on a simple wooden stool at the foot of the tree, singing a soft lament. Streams of tears had dried on her face. She was dressed plainly, with one hand resting on a grave marker next to her. It was adorned with food offerings for the deceased. But any friend of yours is a friend of ours. He deserved better than he was given in life.

The old woman perked up, expecting more. Irelia continued, finally giving voice to the doubts that had plagued her for a long time. Perhaps we lost something when we fought back, something we can never restore.

The woman stood, trying in vain to open a large nut. Nobody misses peace more than me. No point dwelling on it. Used to be able to open these with my hands alone, now I need a knife.

For the first time in a long while, Irelia smiled. Within her satchel, wrapped in protective cloth, were the shard-blades of her shattered family crest. She knew it would never be clean, never be whole again. Bladesurge's cooldown is reset if the target was Marked or dies to Bladesurge. Second Cast: Irelia swipes her blades, dealing physical damage.

Irelia then forms the blades into a wall for 2. Passive bonus attack speed per stack increased later. Our bladed dancer has been falling off in extended games at all levels of play, especially in Average MMR. Cautiously strengthening her scaling and dueling potential to help bridge the gap between laning phase to mid game.

Passive - Ionian Fervor. Patch Giving her a surge in the right direction. E - Flawless Duet. Patch 9. Due to her dominance in pro play, we're making Irelia pay a higher cost when she fails to stun her enemies with Flawless Duet. The decreased range should also make it riskier for her to go all-in.

Passive stack cap increased; stacks grant attack speed instead of damage; max stack bonus grants damage instead of attack speed. Q bonus minion damage increased. W reduces more physical damage but no longer reduces magic damage.

This is a companion patch to 9. Our goal was to give her more pronounced weaknesses and make her less broadly powerful, which we're carrying forward to 9. Between the two patches, enemies should feel like they have better ways to deal with Irelia, from champ select to lane to teamfights.

So what are we doing this patch? We're swapping Ionian Fervor's bonuses—now attack speed per stack, on-hit damage when fully stacked—to reduce the burstiness of her initiation combos and give enemies a wider window before her damage is fully online. Bladesurge's minion damage is going up to offset the impact on her already-nerfed waveclear. We're also changing Defiant Dance to a stronger anti-physical defense with no protection against magic damage to open a weakness to mages and AP assassins while strengthening her ability to counter AD threats.

Q - Bladesurge. W - Defiant Dance. Q deals bonus damage to minions instead of double damage. R duration decreased late; damage increased; slow increased; no longer disarms. Irelia's got a lot going on across her abilities, which makes her effective in an extremely broad range of team comps and scenarios.

We're removing a few mechanics that weren't essential to her blade dancer combat style as well as reining in Bladesurge's late game insta-waveclear.
