I don't like that Irelia gets attack speed when attaining max stacks on her passive. It's excessive power in lane. I assume it's there to make Irelia viable in the jungle.

Anyway, I like the 5 movement speed nerf. Mostly. For top lane, Irelia is going to have a harder time escaping ganks since most junglers will run at or faster than her. Lee Sin ganks are going to hurt.

For mid lane, the nerf is perfect. She is no longer as fast/faster than every mage in the game. It was broken that she could Q to a minion to get in range of an Annie, for example, and just basic attack all the way to tower while keeping up in speed. She already has 200 range to get in extra basic attacks.

Irelia can no longer just walk up and E-E because she's 5 ms slower. Last patch you could walk up to someone out of range, outspeed them, get in range, then E-E. This is probably my favorite outcome from the nerf.
