Irelia can only be used as a counterpick atm anyway (ie you cant pick until enemy has their top) so I doubt she needs nerfs.


Who are Irelia's hard counters? Or would the enemy team be likely to pick a better-scaling top lane that she can't dominate?


The main offender I've seen is udyr. It's very hard for her to get an early advantage without pumping the first 3-4 points into her W.

o_O

Irelia wants maxed W first anyway and completely dominates udyr after wriggle's in my experience.

Don't you max w first anyway? Personally I think riven and akali is irelia bane.

You just gotta play passively for awhile vs. those jerks, but then I think they're both fine. Pantheon counters Irelia because he can actually towerdive her early and punish passive play, at least IMO, but if Irelia gets a little early jungle support, she can be totally fine. Trynd is a weird matchup. Nasus slightly outscales you, though I'm not as bugged out by this matchup as I used to be. Singed kinda bitches you, but it devolved into a free farm matchup. Rumble's an asshole, but again, I just play really passive and bide my time.

I dunno, I like GP as my "tough to counterpick top" better than Irelia these days, but I still think Irelia's counters are all soft counters at best because you can just chill out, let yourself get soft zoned and then crush them post wriggle's.

I don't know how you all think Wriggle Irelia makes her unstoppable.

I got destroyed by a Trundle with Wriggles when I also had it.

I rarely see anyone playing rumble. In the last 100 games of mine I saw a rumble twice - once I was nasus and rumble was just raping the other team. Second I was mid malzahar vs rumble - it was tough but I managed to win the lane, and shortly after we won the game.

My take on Panth vs Trynd is that Panth will win early levels. Only way Trynd wins is lucky crits at level 1. As soon as Panth hits 2, there's no trade I can see where Trynd would win.

To stay relevant, Panth needs to kill Trynd during laning phase. Equal farm/level goes to Trynd obviously. With that said, if Trynd can hit 6 or make Wriggle's and at worst be behind 25 or so CS, I'd say Trynd has won already. Late game scaling is just retardedly in Trynd favor.

Well obviously late-game farmed trynd will beat just about anyone.

Panth may be one of the only champs that can really prevent him from getting there in the first place.

Who else can really go toe to toe with tryndy? Pirate/Udyr maybe?

They may not be traditional top chars but I know anyone with thornmail and a taunt, or AD sion absolutely rape tryn in 1on1 fights.

Guys remember back in the original thread when I went like "HEY GUYS I MAIN LEBLANC AND SHE IS LIKE OP LOL" and everyone else went like "NAH BRO, SHE ISN'T SHE IS NEVER PLAYED IN HIGH ELO" look at you fools now! I see Leblancs in half the streamers games and she's banned in quite a few. WHO IS LAUGHING NOW! I am, cause now everyone will have to listen to my advice, and if they don't I get to be all snarky and go "WHO PREDICTED THAT LB WAS GOING TO BE VIABLE!?!?!?"


??

She's still pretty bad. She's an assassin that snowballs. It's surprising that she does well in solo q? I'd still take an Akali over LeBlanc npnp.

Just you wait, she'll find her way into tournament play She is my favourite champ and it feels good seeing her being used at 2100 elo instead of never above 1250.


Regi played her in IEM tourney and what really made her so strong is the new masteries, I don't know who said it but she was balanced around being able to nearly killing people with on combo and now she can kill a lot more champs with just one combo.
At IEM I think it was Salce actually started only bots against her as it is impossible to sustain against her damage and once she gets a level advantage its even more impossible to farm.

Edit: Just saw that this was talked about last page....I just got up, excuse me.
I have one question though, the last 3 Masteries in the defensive mastery seem pretty bad, is this just my noobish thinking, but even the 10% cc reduction doesn't stat additively with Tenacity or not? So if you get merc threads and you get them with every tanky character, just investing further into an other tree seems better.
If you take long cc like fiddles fear, the 4 seconds are reduced by 35% by merc threads and then by how much by the mastery exactly?

The 10% cc reduction only works on disables. It stacks multiplicatively with other tenacity or cc reduction abilities.

So a 3 second fiddle fear, when targeted against someone with cloak and dagger (35 tenacity) and the 10% cc reduction
yields a 3*.65*.9 second fear. 1.75 second fear.



Also I still don't get how people consider leblanc a bad AP character come late game. She seems to have nice AOE and AP ratios when compared to other AP carries.

Sivir seems strong, but I think her fundamental weakness is still her range. Someone like caitlyn can kick her ass in lane with autoattacks and nets to dodge her boomerangs.


leblanc is a bad char lategame exclusively because of how combo-based her damage is. To get full dmg output, you have to do 3 spells in a row, within a specific margin of time, and the third spell is either a semi-weird skillshot or it teleports you right to the person, which is not ideal, esp if u get stunned be4 u can blink back. If just 1 of these steps is either blocked or times out, then it eliminates a massive amount of your damage output. It also doesnt help that everything about her is built for 1v1, but at the same time has no side-pushing abilities, so isn't really in a position to force 1v1's

She also has like 0 aoe, dunno where u got that from.

Her blink is an AoE. It can be redone with her ult if needed.
Also the silence, ult part of her combo can be done in .1 seconds so it's impossible to block. Then she just needs to land ethereal chains if she's too far to blink which admittedly can be hard if she isn't close enough.

She's no annie come late game... but not many champs have an AOE stun ult. I think she doesn't get enough credit come late game... but I don't play her, so I'm probably wrong.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Everyone should have a Mr and Armor page. It gives you much more freedom in picks when someone tries to counter you (they pick leblanc, you have like 80 mr is just gg).

I used to play tons of leblanc. She's basically kinda hit or miss. Either u dominate ur lane, get a mejai's and just ganks all over the place getting tons of kills. Or if u don't get those early 3-4 kills u basically do nothing lategame. Edit: also she has zero sustain. Its annoying to blue pill after every engagement.
I really love the character - hope she was more viable.

Man, just bought Blitzcrank and he is fun as hell. Granted our team was fucked so it was me and Garen bot lane, which means practically a guaranteed kill if I land my grab, but even with a standard bot lane he seems like a monster.

Seems like his core is RoA, Frozen Heart, Banshee's? You end up as a super tanky, strong damage CC bot with an amazing chase/initiate. Do people build Manamune on him? Philo if supporting?

You have a mr glyph/quint rune page?

I guess null-magic mantle, runes, masteries makes:

30+24+13.5+13.5+6 = 87, not bad...

MR rune pages don't come up nearly as often as armor pages, but I suppose they have their potential uses as well, seems more situational than armor though.

the problem was less him hitting me and more me not being able to hit him. that and the stupid healing debuff, which unfortunately is not affected by mr

edit: it also didn't help that he got a really early blue

ignite because it gives your non-w kill combo a lot more threat and is good against healers (if swain or vlad is one of their soloes you definitely want to take it, and not bad against soraka and other healing supports), and winning lane usually equates to winning the game in solo queue if you crush it hard enough

i think heal is probably also very strong, in terms of amount healed it always heals more than ignite does even if you are ignited when you cast it. with xerath, if you prefer playing safe all game and prefer to siege early, it could be a gamechanger as well as making you even harder to dive

if i can beat a player more than 500 elo above me with pantheon and they're riven, i think pantheon is a bit stronger than riven.

i personally like exhaust, since you are a lot more stationary than many other chars, exhaust helps out a lot in keeping ppl away.
