Is Irelia viable?
She got indirectly nerfed...I think. Maybe it's was a "direct" one all planned out.

Viable but she's significantly weaker in season 3.
Attack Speed got nerfed across the board
Most top lane bruisers are going full tank, like
Sunfire Aegis into

Irelia she doesn't really scale as well as other champions like
Darius and

Black Cleaver, at least not as much as other bruisers.

True damage is still true damage early on. Also she herself is a Warmogs abuse, and she's effectively immune to CC for the most part. She can out maneuver and kill a lot of her opponents.
So she is still a strong pick?
Just not as good as she used to be..
