Tips Against Irelia in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Angryappleseed says “Respect her stronger Level 1. If she can easily stack her passive on the wave, you should probably back off. Dodge her E. Maybe rush steelcaps early.”

SVKGuardian says “Jump, Jump, Jump 5 stacks, right in your face, auto attacks you to eternity. She has so much mobility that you cannot just simply solve. Really hard lane for you, so pay attention the whole time or you could be just crying for the rest of the game. One of the lanes where the only place for you to throw your E is as near you as possible most of the time, so if she wants to continue and chase you, she will for sure step into your grenades. So important to poke her and be able to dodge her stun, play around your turret don;t get jumped on suddenly with stun and R.”

forlid says “For me this matchup is a lot easier with Yasuo, but it is doable with Yone as well. You should try to gap her early and gain as much XP as possible, as you win her as long as she doesn't get her passive stacks. Later on you should focus on avoiding her E at all costs, and this is usually only possible by using E correctly. If she misses it, you should win. You have no safe way to dodge her R so if you have to then just Flash it. If you get even a bit ahead early you should kill her with ease.”

Witchking of Angwar says “Flash/tp. This matchup is highly dependant on your wave state. Dont let her get 5 stacks of minions and then e you. She beats you till 6. Dont throw 2 spells into her w. Her r and e dont follow into death realm. Build bramble after she has botrk. She spikes really hard with botrk but you outscale her”

SenSen_LoL says “I used to think that Irelia is unbeatable as Nidalee but she's not. However, to beat her, you can NOT fall behind. If you do, the lane is over she'll just run over you again and again. Against irelia, the first waves are key. Try to zone her from minions, place traps on your wave to punish her if she dashes on them. Similar to Fiora, you'll have to hold your cougar combo, as her W will absorb it if you don't. Once she gets BOTRK, the matchup turns heavily in her favor, so be careful even if you have a big lead by then. Note : The alcove is your best friend in this matchup, try to not stay stuck in your wave as she'll dash everywhere and be a real threat”

Tips Against Irelia in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Soft Headpats says “Take E at level 1 or 2. This lane is all about wave control; the more you're able to keep the wave close to your turret, the more manageable the lane gets. You pretty much never win a 1v1 against Irelia since she can easily heal up, but your goal in this lane is just to survive and keep up in CS anyway.”

Deceiver_euw says “Even tho irelia does fine into LeBlanc 1v1, she cant really look to kill you since your champ is too safe. Winning 1v1 into a good irelia is very hard but for irelia to win the lane she has to play very aggressive so she is vulnerable to ganks. Make sure to call your jungler or supp mid if enemy irelia is disrespecting them. If the irelia is bad, you can also beat her 1v1 with ignite and early game setup. Similar to akali matchup, holding your W when overextended in lane is key and if the wave is on your side, you can look to trade more aggressively.”

plankbro says “Just give up. Never play past your tower, you are not allowed. She will make you think Sion is the shittiest champion in League of Legends the way she bodies you. As much as I consider this the highest threat to ban every game, you will see 10 Yones for every 1 Irelia in the mid-lane since Irelia is more often played top.”
Sion, the Turret Destroyer by plankbro | Sion Player
Paczo says “DON'T GO ALL IN. She's similar to Yasuo and Yone, those players JUST, NEED, TO TOUCH YOU, but with her passive, she won't let you farm. Remember that she can easily dash out of your ult.”
Pyke Mid not so bad after all... by Paczo | Pyke Player
ShokLoL says “Irelia has unmatched sustain and so is pretty much impossible for you to push out of lane. The best thing you can do is try not to push the wave (unless you can 1 shot it) and hold your E defensively. The good news is even if you fall behind early you should outscale, so just focus on not dying and be willing to give up some CS if necessary. ”
vSomnia says “Use your Q to harass her with scorch. You can predict her to use her Q on low hp minions so take advantage of that and use your Q when she does. Save your E to dodge her E. If you dodge her E you win the lane. Sometimes when she uses W and you have two passive stacks wait for her W to run off and than go for your last hit to proc passive. It's all about who takes control in the lane yet again. Try to get good cs score cause she excels at it or she will have item advantages in no time.”

vixolah says “care for low minions for her q, need jgl, boneplating, dodge her e and rush armor, NEED ZHONYA TO 1v1 ”

Peteruso says “This our worst matchup, here is a good way to navigate it. Take Ignite and PTA + Nimbus Cloak + Scorch. Early levels are like other Lethal Tempo lanes, just don't facecheck or all in too early and you will be ok. Really try to poke and deny gold / xp if they're noob because early levels is when we have the most kill pressure in this lane. Throw a rang in your about-to-die minions if you think she will Q onto them. Igniting early is good to deny her healing. She will stop your hook with Q if you're not going directly away from her.”

InTaggar says “ENG: Just ban if her is on meta. RUSH ZHONYAS Runes: Aery with Resolve. Spells: Teleport / Exhaust. ESP: Banneala siempre que esté en meta o sepas que del otro equipo van a pickearla. RUSH ZHONYAS Runas: Aery con valor. Spells: Telepor o Extenuar.”

MasaruYoni says “If you are against an Irelia focus on farm, dodging her stun with your E, try to predict her Q and poke her with Q and W, she will trade everytime her passive is full stacked, so play really safe, Executioner call is a good option after closed Berserker”
