Is Irelia still a decent champ to get?

I heard she was nerfed a few times and haven't had the chance to get her until now. Its either save up a bit for Irelia (Only 1000 or so IP away) or just cave in and finally buy Karma.
I've got a good mix of champs already, not really lacking in any categories.

I wanna buy either Draven or Nocturne, but idk which :S The only AD carry I own is Ashe(not terribly great with her) and the only jungler I can use is Amumu. I've tried both Draven and Nocturne, but I dunno :/

Irelia is not just decent, she's completely viable. Her bases are good(and just got buffed), her sustain is decent(just got nerfed), if you get an early doran's blade, doran's shield or philosopher stone sustain is not an issue though.

The cc-reduction on her passive is just ****ing broken and she's been my main for some time. She has no real hardcounters, and hardcounters herself all the ranged guys who rely on poking(don't know about kayle)
Ty MM and Blood for the sigs :3 | Rammus is comming back - heard it here first!

i don't think draven is good as a second-time ad-carry. His skill-cap is pretty high and it's hard to position him in fights, graves is both much easier and generally sooo easy to position in fights, even if you fail your positioning you're kinda tanky.

nocturne is a tier1 jungler, and always has been. Such a good buy. He does the same thing as amumu(initiate) but in another matter, with amumu locking enemy in place nocturne focusses down and tries to assasinate whoever is fed on the enemy team and draws all the focus.

Graves kinda sucks IMO xD But Draven would lose a lot of damage if he kept missing his axes. I'll play them both a bit more and see.

Oh that's what you meant by second-time. I've tried Varus, Caitlyn, Sivir, and TF(probably more, just can't remember). And I have tried Draven on the PBE server.

Well how did you like the ad-carries?
If you find it hard to position, Ashe and sivir are probably the best 2 to start with(not because they're easy to position) because they teach you a lot about how and where to position in teamfights.

AD carries aren't bad, I'm just more used to stunning + bursting with AP carries or tanking. AD carries are so squishy T.T I die a lot on AD carries lol. It might be because of cockyness xD Also, I have no AD runes, just AP ones. Runes get kinda expensive when you wanna try out new champs xD I really should get used to a few AD carries, though :P

I am thinking of either getting Janna or Galio for support I feel Janna is better but Galio fits my style a bit more, which do I choose?

Neither, you buy leona if you feel like tanking/initiating is more your style.

Janna is more of a counter-initiate support which counters a kill-lane.
