The whole concept is bullshit in the way that it applies to Irelia considering that her passive is situational. In the case being made for the nerf the figure of 40% is constantly stated. Yes, you are correct, if Irelia is in the middle of a cluster*uck of enemies she does get 40% reduction. But that is not the definitive figure.

Why not complain about all passives?

"Morgana heals too much with Will of the Ancients"

"Vlad's AP is too high when he stacks health"

"Kayle can reach 200/200 with only a couple items"

"Tristana's attack range is too long"

"Warwick heals too much"

Point is, the passive is supposed to be a point of strength for a character. By eliminating the stacking CC you kill that strength. In 1v1 or even 1v2 your CC reduction is no better than anyone who went out and bought Merc's Treads. It simply makes no sense.

Either fix the mechanic to a less "OP" (*cough* bullshit) ratio or eliminate the CC reduction from Merc's treads altogether. Otherwise all you're doing is singling out a character.
