I'm of the opinion she needs a rework. Her design was awesome, but now wieht all those innovative champions she has started becoming outdated. (And imagine that I main her.) A Katarina styled rework (keep all her basic characteristics but make her gameplay more fluent and strong) would make her shine again. It's a shame that you have to become so tanky in order to survive, while, say, Fiora or Nocturne can do just as well with just a couple of tanky items. Irelia is made to deal damage, and tankiness always helps with that, but I think that 5 or 4 tank items and 1 or 2 damage items show that she is way too flawed to fulfill her role. With such a build even Vayne would survive team fights. Irelia should be like Wukong or Darius, but instead she has to become 70% tanky and 30% dmg if she wants not to be stomped.
