Her main problem is her free tenacity. She is strong, but the passive is what makes her kit perform so well, and inhibits a buff to her. My opinion? Change her passive to her ulti. Something like, for every enemy hit, she gains X% tenacity, rest of the ulti remains unchanged. Lasts 3 or 4 seconds. Subsequent hits will refresh the duration. No more free tenacity, and would leave her to buff space. Work around that and you could make Irelia a top tier champion again, and at the same time balanced, unlike jax, who is more tilted to the broken side than to the balanced one. Making her be able to be a real threat, and adding counter mechanics to that lets people tweak around her strengths and weaknesses.
