Irelia is broken because Riot conceived her, then stated that her kit was a mistake but refused to fix the problem. They shelved it into the Yorick folder (OP if not fixed, UP if fixed), and resolved to ensure no champion is ever like Irelia. If you look at Elise, its only 1/4th of what Irelia has in her skillset.

So: Problem exists, refusal to fix problem until future date coinciding with rapture, all future releases must be weaker than problem.

Thus, not many can actively combat Irelia since they don't ever want things to be as controversial as Irelia.
