Hmm, the true damage does not need to go. If you think about it, its a duration, its better than it being a perma-passive. Plus, if you take her true damage away, she is practically useless with any trade, if you think about it. Of course her farming will be high, but this will force her into a more AD Based Off-Tank like Fiora, than a Bruiser.

Think of it like this, Irelia's kit holds nice trade offs, alright sustain, and mobility via Bladesurge. But after true damage dissapears, she's left with alright sustain and mobility. Her Ult barely does damage aswell, and is only good for those Large Scale Skirmishes where it probably gives you 150 HP- 250 HP back per blade if you hit all 5, and what are the chances of that happening to be able to hit all 5. Her true damage makes her what she is.
