Riot will release a League of Legends blog post tomorrow, elaborating on the complete process and intentions behind the upcoming Irelia changes. Here's a sneak peek of the tweaks revealed by Phlox.

Tentative Isrelia changes for League of Legends patch 11.14

Base Stats:

Health: 580 >>> 520
Magic Resist :: 32 >>> 28
HP per evel :: 95 >>> 110

Ionian Fervor (P):

Max Passive Stacks: 5 >>> 4
Attack Speed per stack: 8/12/16% based on level >>> 7.5/13.75/20% based on level
Damage: 15-66 (25% bonus AD) >>> 10-61(30% bonus AD)

Bladesurge (Q):

Dash Speed : Movement Speed + 1500 >>> Significantly reduced
Minion Damage: 55/75/95/115/135 >> > 55+12/lvl

Defiant Dance (W):

DR : 50% (+7%/100 AP) Physical >>> 40-80% Physical and 20-40% Magic DR levels 1- 18 (AP Ratio preserved)
Max Damage: 20/50/80/110/140 (+100% AD) (+80% AP) >>> 30/95/160/225/290 (+150% AD) (+120% AP)

Flawless Duet (E):

Cannot be cast or recast during Q
Cannot be recast while CCd

Vanguard's Edge (R):

[NEW PASSIVE] : Decrease Q Cooldown by 0.5/1.5/2.5s before Haste

I mean I really like that we are making the champ weaker early and stronger late but changing q dash speed and making it so you can’t use e2 while CC’d or Qing just removes skill expression for no reason when this is meant to be a mechanically intensive champion

By reducing Irelia's Q’s dash speed and not letting her recast E when dashing or CC’d, Riot will thus allow her opponents to counter easily as fewer mechanics will be required from her opponents.

But as compensation for these changes, Riot will be adding more damage to her ability kit in the later stages of a match, especially with Defiant Dance.
