Megames, which god? :P

Though I am, in all honesty, FOR the jokes, that is a personal source of humor for me. If you find that wrong, then feel comforted by the fact that I never actually make a "nerf Irelia" joke, but sometimes I find them funny.

Irelia's kit is by nature hard to balance. This has been known for a very long time. In some respects, she is unfair and beats her opponent into oblivion with no chance of redemption (S2 Lv2 jungler gank gives Irelia first blood vs her opponent and a 2+ level lead as well as 20 Creeps) but in other ways she is totally worthless. In other words, Renekton didn't get ganked early and made it so she could do nothing. Ever. For all of eternity. Even into the next game, the mere idea of Renekton causes her to miss creeps. That's what happens when the reverse skill match up happens: Good Renekton vs average Irelia.

However, Irelia will see that her jungler can't always save her in Season 3. Renekton will be a MUCH stronger figure because of this lack of ganking. You might see team comps bending over just to fit someone in to stop Renekton, but we'll see.
