A fan-made splash art of Spirit Blossom Irelia made fans want a new Spirit Blossom skin for Irelia.
Irelia is one of the most popular champions in League of Legends. She was released over ten years ago. Even though initially, she was a well-liked champion, as the meta developed, her popularity plummeted. Mainly due to she wasn’t versatile enough at the time. She filled the same role as Master Yi and Jax. Because of this, Riot gave Irelia a much-needed rework in 2018.
After her rework in 2018, she not only got new abilities and visuals but also expanded her popularity. Before, she was just a bruiser with very little versatility, but now she is classified as both bruiser and an assassin. Immediately after her rework, she was highly over-tuned. Even after her nerfs, she is still considered one of the top champions in the meta.
Since Irelia is a very popular champion, she has a lot of unique skins. All of her skins are very high in quality.
Many players want to see an Irelia skin in their favorite skin line since Irelia’s concept fits well with most skin lines out there.
