If anything, the post is a lot more cohesive now, I'll give you that. Sometimes(or always if you're a pessimist like me), it's not just about form, it's also about function, so I'd argue that this updated revision is a happy middle.

I won't beat around the bush, and say I'm pleased to see you pull back a bit and mix in a diver class, but I'm still gonna be an annoying little twerp excerpt my opinion(not that I don't respect yours, don't you worry about that) jusssst a little more and press for divers being their own separate thing.

In your notes about the official post, you were confused as to why and  were split up, when historically they both shared a similar role as split pushers/ carry divers. So why are they in different subclasses? Well, my 2 cents(besides the fact that subclass and composition role as 2 separate things to me; another time for that) is that Jax is rewarded more for building like a carry Ala, while Irelia gets less results. I talk about this in my initial post with, but I'll emphasize here.

'''The simplest thing that differs between a skirmisher and a diver is how well they scale as the game goes on(in terms of damage at-least). Irelia is seen a early-mid game champion, while Jax is seen as a mid-late game champion; both are pick for the same reasons, but this doesn't change the fact they have different areas of power.'''

can bust through any target in typical skirmisher fashion with his,, and He's rewarded for going glass cannon because of this like other Skirmishers.

Irelia crushes soft champions with her high bases and numerous tools that giver her flexibility. She's rewarded for building a couple damage items, then going fully defensive like a standard bruiser.

Jax and Irelia has been brother and sister in terms of playstyle and other things, but at the core, they do things differently from each other, and that's enough to warrant them into different subclasses.
