I agree, this nerf is totally unnecessary. I mean her lane phase isn't that OP to begin with anyway, the biggest issue (if any) is her late game strength which she actually only reaches by going almost full tank (which means she actually trades a lot of damage in favor of defenses).

Anyway I've recently switched to vlad as my main because I find Irel's lane phase is simply too boring, I mean all you can do is hug the tower and last hit until you got some items to do something and even then certain champs can completely destroy her in lane. Just look at WW or Udyr, their lane phase is so much stronger than Irel's it's not even funny, not to mention if you have to stand up against champs that can poke at you from a distance.
