Tips Against Irelia in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Basilli says “GRASP RUNES
"Easy matchup but she has a ton of outplay potential here. Rush Bramble and fight her whenever, just be careful of her vamping off 10000 minions in a 1v1. Really though if she's pushed
up and you all in her she'll die if you hit your Q's. BE CAREFUL OF USING W>Q BECAUSE SHE WILL Q THROUGH YOUR Q IF YOU DO IT AT THE SAME TIME. Once she has BotRK
1v1s are much harder" ”
Spartaniko says “Poke her to death and don't try to duel neither to long trade. She has far better DPS than you, can heal your poke and dodge your Qs. I recommend ignite in this lane, but if you do, be extra careful because Irelia can easily punish your deaths.”
4eadami says “You beat her. All-in lvl 2 before she is lvl 2 IF you have ignite. Fling her under tower. You win if she isnt Fed. Be careful after BoRK. ”
Fenharion says “She is not much of a problem when you get her away from minions to a 1v1,but you'll have to dodge her E or you'll lose most likely. As for tips, go Bramble Vest early to stop her healing,dodge her E and ult her when she ults,removing her cage and making it easier for you to fight.”
Fanatical Goose says “You win level 1 and can zone her off wave, dodge her stun if she tries to fight. On the 2nd wave ward in the river. As long as she doesn't get full stacks you win every fight. ”
UrPersonalGod says “My perma ban if I want to play Aatrox.
The most annoying one of the high mobile fighters that run ignite.
If you stay healthy and just farm near tower you can fighter around level 6 or 7 if you have trust in you mechanics.
You can buffer your Q when she E´s you.”
SemenDrinker says “Ban
i cant give you advice because i never play against her. My only tip is that play super safe and carry ignite. Try to guess where she q's with your q. She will save her W for your q3. E away from her E stun and good luck., ”
Frankoloko says “Get anti heal (Ignite or Bramble) because healing is a big part of her success. Ult after her to remove all her things. You can also ult to remove her first E. When she loses her passive, don't allow her to walk up and get it on the minions again. She's weak without her passive. When you have 6 and she has 0 stacks, ult her because in the realm there are no minions for stacks. You easily win the fight if you do this.”
IvanBeifong says “Irelia, major by itself, extreme once she gets botrk, doesn't have much damage and you can easily dodge her E with your own E, if you feel like you need it, go oblivion orb, you deal a lot of damage to her, just remember to dodge her E.
Conq build works well.
Good ult, deals decent damage and works well for chasing. ”
PetriciteLoL says “Need more testing against her as she's not that popular, although a good Irelia player will freeze the wave into being an unplayable lane, also BoRK is your #1 enemy if she gets it. Grasp or Conq is fine, I would either 3 Q into W or Full W max against her.”
LilPicky says “(take 1st rune page start blade) Dodge her E and dont use recasted Q while she is in W, ignite when going all in because she heals A LOT”
Belle19 says “If you get past level 3 without being shit on the lane is over. If she ever all ins you with ult just phase rush away. Your stride + zerks to her bork + tabis you can win with ignite. You HEAVILY outscale her, late game you can braindead run at her and win”
Zagreus16 says “she will think she fancy until she dashes into your fists and you smack her up. you win most of the time in these fights, just be careful of her stun and you'll be fine.”
CrimsonL7 says “Really good Briar matchup. Dodge her stun with your W and you will pretty much always win the AA battle. Dont fight her when there are too many minions as they will heal her and give her stacks, and waste your W Berserk with you just chasing her. ”
WayB3tterThanYou says “Do not run it down. Careful with her dashes, stay away from creeps, don't let her lend her E and everything will be fine.
Careful lvl 1, her passive is strong.
Also don't die at lvl 6 like an idiot, stay around 70% HP minimum.”
Godzilla010 says “Avoid her at max stacks or when she has minions to Q. Avoid a level 1-2 all in. Don't let her auto the wave for free at level 1. Kill at 6........
Dont use all your damage into her w because it has big damage reduction.”
step1v9 says “The higher elo the irelia player the more even the matchup is, but generally tryndamere can just push as slow as possible and trade irelia hard any time she wants to touch the wave. Use your E when she Es so that you can dodge or disengage. ”
LDaL says “Skill mutchup. spells flesh + ignite Runes pta and fleet both good here - take boneplat, overgrowh. Not hard machup if you know how to play around her passive. Simple saying, never fight her when her passive is active, only if she has 10-30% of her health or you have items and lvl lead. Lvl 1 try to atack minions so they will not die at the same time, this way she won't be able to stack her passive and you can go for a trade. Your w protect you from her e and ult. After she buy bork be careful of her all in
( by quick stack passive), if you let her sit on you she will probably kill you 1v1.”
Raideru says “lvl 1 start w and zone her off the wave, you win almost all the trades, the only way you can lose is if you fight her in a really big wave or if you manage to miss your e cause you can't hit q on her otherwise”
Azzin says “Not much to do here, you can't poke her, you don't win short trades and you get obliterated in long trades, just play safe&farm, or go ghost+tp+first strike and abuse when she's pushing under your tower.”
Haxorr says “A good Irelia can be very scary to play against, but in general your champ should beat hers as you can dodge her main damage.
Take Lethal Tempo or Conqueror, bone plating, and possibly Ignite in this matchup, and play aggressively early. You can kill Irelia really easily levels 1-3. However, when she has a big minion wave or can q a lot of your minions, you have to be careful to not waste your e as once your e is down, if she has max stacks on her passive she will win the 1v1. Rush BOTRK or Trinity, watch out for her BOTRK spike. ”
DuckQc says “You kill her, but she can dash 10 times and cancel your r. Be sure to get at least steelcaps when she has botrk, i also recommend frozen heart here. ”
Arthapsic says “Start E level 1, Do not leash jungler tell him you can't. Get priority level 1 and don't let her get 4 stacks passive ( try to let your minions not die at the same time ). If she gets 4 stacks passive don't fight her almost ever. She is very weak level 1 without passive that's why we take ignite to get priority. If she doesn't fight you push in 3/4 waves in and reset for a cheater recall. If the lane is pushing into you and she has a stacked passive wait for the wave to hit the tower and don't fight her. When she gets bork and you are not ahead enough never fight her if possible.”
Serrvant_of_Christ says “Can dash on you with Q and Stun with E. Be careful Early, if you see her have max stacks, back off, until the stacks go away, if you manage to dodge her E, you can try to poke her down, even with Q up when lvl 6.”
Beeware says “Pray that her player isn't good. Focus on dodging her E, save flash for her R. Respect her engage distance and try to farm as much as you can.”
TeiWasTaken says “Skill matchup. You are much stronger than her at levels 1, 2, 4 and 5. Try to kill her at one of those levels, but beware of fighting her at level 3, because she can turn the fight around with her W resist.”
Skaarlschloch says “Irelia has a hard time dealing with your poke. As long as you dont get hit by her E you will be able to destroy her in lane.
You can Q her Q putting in on cooldown”
SVKGuardian says “..................................................................................
- Really Mobile toplaner
..................................................................................
- She starts Q - dash, which refreshes if she kills the target
..................................................................................
- Her Passive gives her stacks (max 4) giving her Attack Speed, as well as bonus dmg at max stacks. When hitting champions she keeps the stacks and doesn't lose them.
..................................................................................
- She gains stacks by hitting Q's. So be careful early levels, she can quickly kill minions to reset her Q and then jump on you with 4 stacks, even level 1
..................................................................................
- You either have to hard trade her before first minions are low so she cannot access them and then spacing her, trying to crush the waves asap
..................................................................................
- Or letting her push, but playing from far away
..................................................................................
- When she get other spells ,she can create a line from blades that will stun you and reset her Q, if she uses Q on you that's her E
..................................................................................
- Her double W will consume a lot of damage, while she is charging it and then according to charging time she will deal higher amount of damage with it in a certain direction. If it hits you, she gains passive stack.
..................................................................................
- Her ultimate is pretty deadly. If it hits you, it deals some dmg, slowing you, giving irelia a mark on you that will reset her Q if she jumps on you, and creating area of blades that will slow you if you try to walk through it, giving you some damage once again.
..................................................................................
- It is a skillshot, and if she is casting it from far away it is also not that uncommon that she can miss
..................................................................................
- If you walk too far into the lane vs her, she can turn the tides really fast, so you have to be cautious. After 6, it is even more dangerous, she is going to try and cast stun and then Close range with Q's and then adjust E direction so she can stun you for free. Her ult can then slow you after you flash”
Riceyboll says “Haven't met a decent Irelia in ages, they all either play so passively I was able to get a huge gold lead or they play too aggressively and dive under the tower every chance they get.”
Ulsur says “You either ban her or Olaf.
In case you banned Olaf and got an Irelia, just play the level 1 a little aggressive until your 3 melee minions drop less than half health, then you pretty much let her push and don't try to trade unless you can predict where she's going to Q with your own Q, NEVER go in with your E, if she lands her stun you'll lose your whole health bar and she'll dive you, or you'll just die on the spot, after you both get your ultimate abilities do not walk in the middle of the lane, even if you have a kill or two on her, always play back and dash backwards, and dodge her E even if you have to flash, if she's good enough she can literally dive you from 100 to 0 under your own turret even if she doesn't have any type of lead, and once she finishes her Blade of The Ruined King it's pretty much over and the probability of you winning a 1 vs 1 is pretty much non exsistent, so you'll have to adjust your plays on her mistakes, if you're ahead a good strategy is to proxy and try to 1 vs 1 her between her t1 and t2 towers, other than that just rush Tabis/Eclipse, Executioner's is a viable option as well. So just wait for your jungler, you're better in teamfights.”
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.”
Hotch says “Very, very tough matchup. She one-shots your ghouls and kills maiden quick. Stacks off of your ghouls and easily kills you 1v1.
BUT there are things you can do here. Take ignite and PUNISH HARD when she misses a Q reset. The only time you beat her is level 1 when your minions aren't low health, so try to get prio that way. Stand on top of your ghouls when fighting her so she MIGHT miss them. You need to snowball HARD to fight her in the mid/late game. ”
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.”
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.”
procatking says “Conqueror, ignite,D blade, take rune NO.2.
*skill matchup*
dont get hit by Flawless Duet(E)
and poke her with Q.
play aggressive but not too much( dont w. pre 6 you're too strong for her unless u do some really hard mistake.
”
Witchking of Angwar says “Flash/tp. Conq
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”
conqiyana says “beats u at all stages of the game, usually you can win the matchup just because they ego and try dive you, then you can ult them under tower and kill”
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”
mastershen says “So this a hard matchup you should go damage because tank wont work against this matchup go ad or ap start doran ring and flash ignite to look for kills in level 2 engage with E and Q follow with ignite ”
MaesePerez says “Bad matchup, she rushes BOTRK and you can't ever fight her again, go for very short trades with grasp, consider rushing frozen heart to survive lane and have enough mana to fight safely. She can run you down if you can't flash her ultimate, so be mindful of that, as once she hits you with her ult or an e you lose that fight. ”
SpoonSlayer says “Your all in's better. You can land easy E by backing off near a low health minion and throwing your E at it when you think she will dash into it.”
L3tha1 says “Si la Irelia enemiga es muy buena, da por perdida la linea y reza que tu jg se acuerde de tí. Daño demasiado alto en la fase de líneas, alta movilidad por su Q lo que le permite dogear facil cualquiera de tus 3 Q, su W le permite tanquear mucho daño y su R te dificulta escapar de ella. No la baneo porque ultimamente casi nadie la esta llevando a toplane.”
Belle19 says “ALWAYS Q MAX
If she gets any form of a lead the games unplayable. If you back and buy a bramble without falling behind though she cant play the game. Stay away from her when she has 4 stacks, try to dodge her e by walking forward or to the side”
hamgi says “avoid trading her when she has max passive stacks and her e is up/e1 is active. go for max range q's when she goes to q/aa cs. move perpendicularly if she uses e2 or use e to dodge. stay away from low hp minions. do not e near a wave and in general, avoid trading/fighting on a stacked wave. use e to dodge r (if applicable, i.e not stunned by her e or external source)”
forlid says “Irelia has everything to counter you with her insane mobility and damage negation and thus remains the most formidable counterpick against Aatrox. Against her you need to be extremely careful not to overextend. Most Irelias prepare their engages with quite clear signs such as getting a few minions low next to you. You can try to predict her Q and land your own Q but other than that it comes down to whether or not you can dodge her E. After BORK she becomes way too powerful to reliably kill, so trust your team enough that they can deal with her.”
PlayCabex says “You always wanna start W in this matchup and bully her as much as possible. If she has conq then you win all ins lvl 1, if she has lethal tempo, then you lose. If you manage to bully her lvl 1 and get lvl 2 first, then you’ve pretty much successfully won the lane. You must take ignite into this lane to have a chance.
Runes: Aery”
Belle19 says “she outranges you with autos, thats pretty much her only saving grace. She wins level 1 if she has 4 stacks. Most irelias are very predictable -- if a minions about to die they'll probably q to it. Play accordingly. If she all ins you, e q immediately so she cant dash out of your q. You outscale the 1v1 very hard, she usually does more in teamfights unless she tries to hero 1v9.”
AWierdShoe says “Probably our worst melee matchup. She has all the tools in her kit to avoid our damage and stat-checks us with autos. If you're one-tricking Aatrox she is a viable ban for you, however Irelia is in a bit of a sour spot in the current meta so you don't have to (not many people are playing her toplane). Do your best to dodge her E stun, predict her Qs with your Q when she's eyeing low-health minions. Do NOT fight her when she has 4-stacks. If she engages on you do your best to kite back with a full combo. When the wave is pushing towards her you have to crash it and NOT let her freeze near her tower as this is her favorite spot to play around (she can run you down). Tabi rush is good, Bramble Vest is optional as well (Executioner's if you're confident) to negate her healing. Once she gets Blade of the Ruined King the matchup is horrendous unless you're EXTREMELY far ahead of her. ”
lbc1506 says “If she ever goes all in on you, just hold q until shes on top of you and q her then wall and walk away.
Similar to camile matchup however becomes really easy post 6 for you.”
Haearnbleidd says “ADHD Matchup. You kill her, but she can dash 10 times and cancel your r.
Be sure to get at least steelcaps when she has botrk, i also recommend frozen heart here. Build: Rav/Hexplate > Frozen heart/Stride”
Joy17 says “Irelia possui alto burst, mas Warwick, com seu sustain, pode resistir a trocas e, com habilidade, evitar as habilidades de Irelia para sair por cima.”
deathbypotion says “Her players are crazy, you can flip her out if she dashes on you and you can oftenly catch her near your tower and flip her to it. Your W stops her from Q-ing”
Akuzai says “Wits end sucks but all in all this matchup is manageable. Dodge her e in any way possible and it should be possible to just kill her, just remember not to combo your q and ult since she's very mobile and missing too many spells your demise.”
PPlongcook says “Dodge her stun and ult with E. Don't build too tanky against her in order to keep up with her in damage. This lane can be much harder if the Irelia is good. If against a good one and if she hits E, and has 5 stacks you're dead.”
MYCATRENGAR says “Fleet / Conq
You have to offset the wave lvl 1, so she cant get her Q off on the 3 creeps like she wants too.
If she hits you with E, dont fight. If she misses, fight.
Post 6, same rules apply, flash the ult, dodge the E you win the fight. ”
Lukajs says “Irelia can be a tricky matchup, however it's doable. You can poke her when her passive is down, and get some good trades. She doesn't heal a whole lot before she gets Vampiric Scepter, so you can poke her down until she needs to back.
Play around her passive being down and dodging her E with your W.”
GheeseEmpty says “As long as you don't let her stack her passive, this is a fairly easy lane. You can really abuse your early game power against her and force her to play in a lose-lose scenario. I recommend rushing a Grievous Wounds item as quickly as possible, before she can get Vampiric Scepter.”
ThelpixG says “Pretty annoying matchup because she can all in you so easily and even if she misses everything she can still kill you with her passive on-hit damage.
How to Beat?
- Try walking behind her wave at level 1 and trade with her preventing her from csing the minions;
- Take grasp with ignite and dblade so you can actually trade with her early;
- Always have a barrel under yourself and explode it if she goes in;
- Abuse your passive damage and Q poke;
- Pay attention to what minions are low hp so you can avoid getting caught by her all in;
- Dodge her E and try do Dodge her ult;
- Don waste your cooldowns on her W (your passive deals true damage so it kills her even if she presses W).”
NegativePhoenix says “Bramble is heavily important here thanks to her healing
Obviously, stay safe near tower and never engage her without help or unless she's over extended, especially don't engage her if her passive is fully stacked or you'll suffer a hard trade.
Her power spike only hits when she gets BORK, so the less kills she gets to delay that, the better
It's harder for her to do much if you keep the wave near your tower so that she has to risk being tossed under your tower and CC'ed to waste her Q, so make sure that if you notice she's gone that you ping it otherwise you may be giving her a free unannounced roam”
xXazzer says “Irelia can pretty much beat you. I permaban her. But you can beat her if you play really well. Dodge her E, and try time your Q's near a dying minion where you predict she will dash to. If you dodge her E you can mostly win the trade. Just don't extend the trade alot or she will kill you”
X_TRM says “(Start E/W) Try to get prio at lvl 1 by zoning her off the first wave. She has a ton of dashes so try to secure your W with E. Back off if she has max stacks on her passive and if she engages you should be able to trade equal health. You can run her down if she doesn't respect your early agency. Stride - Clever - Shojin - Overlords - Steraks/Chempunk Chainsword”
LilliaFanBoy says “The only reason why Irelia is a major threat to Lillia is because of the funny Q. Level 1 is easy but from level 2 onward it is a pain. You can out-damage her on burst trades if you hit your W but she will more often than not win extended trades. Do your best by poking and try to dodge the E.”
Steinuhu says “Dorans Blade Start \\ This matchup is an absolute nightmare for Yone. It doesn't matter how well you play, or how bad the Irelia is. Her champ is just better. Play to survive until Shieldbow. Even then, this matchup is still very hard. If she ever freezes on you, you can't play the game. You can't walk up, similar to the Darius matchup. She will just run you down and kill you. This is my personal permaban for top lane. Do your best to dodge her E with your E. You can never fight her if her passive is stacked; you will always lose the trade/all-in.”
Maksimvini says “Recommend to ban her.
One of hardest zilean match-up.
Often buys BotRk, which gives her even more dmg, attack speed, and most of all - HEAL. in most situations. zillean cannot outtrade her due to dashes and heal.”
WhendZ says “Irelia é irritante, ela consegue quebrar seus barris bem fácil, então você precisa ser bom de perfect barrel. Recomendo pegar atk speed nas runas menores e ir de determinação. Grasp é últil, mas uma hora ela te dá overscaling. se você der conta de matar ela muito na lane e cuidar para que ela não ganke, é bem tranquilo de solar.”
LegacyOneTap says “lethal, dorans blade, ignite or ghost or even tp. Easy lane you auto win most of the time, don't willingly fight a 6 minion wave plus 4 stacked irelia. make sure you crash with a 3 wave for easy laning. This 1v1 is major in jax's favor, she stops scaling past mid game so she cant keep up with you regardless of her being 3k gold up at 30 minutes. play it smart early and you can potentially snowball and she no longer can lane. bork trinity the rest is up to you.”
Wizboy73 says “[Grasp or conq] this champ is full build at 1 item. ask your jungler nicely to gank her, if he does this matchup becomes free, still care for her BOTRK spike. You can harras her freely in lane but once she gets that item, you cannot walk up untill 2-3 items. ”
peterplum says “Don't fight her when she has her passive stacked.
Try to poke her with W and deal some damage with Q, then use your E to pass through the minions and run, keep doing this and you will win early trades.
As Rhaast you will have better advantages (like against any other champ)”
JPGamer10BR says “Uma lane que eu gosto, ela é mais fácil do que aparenta, muitas vezes tu morre por superestimar ela.
pode tentar matar ela lvl 1, ficando invisível, cuidado quando a lane chegar, ela pode stackar a passiva nos 3 primeiros guerreiros depois pular em você, vá fazendo trocas contra ela, foque em desviar do stun dela, vá de ignite, caso ela ulte em você não se desespere, dê o Q nela, você pode lutar contra ela dentro da sua ult ou tente ir correndo pro lado aberto dela, NÃO CORRA PARA AS LÂMINAS!
Runas> PTA (a melhor de todas contra ela)”
zacklynier says “ignite al sadece ignite al ve q yükleri varken savaşma. q ile manyak gibi minyondan minyona sekmeye başladıpı anda ignite at. buzdoğan>karabalta al”
Crossing Calvin says “Conquer
Hard matchup but i think its gotten alot easier because the champs got tankier, Don't give irelia a free spell. If she W you just wait. If you dodge her E. She misses alot dps. You can zone level 1 with Q and auto attacks. ”
BurritoTopKing says “Relatively easy, bone plating + tabis helps a lot, early game you can bully a lot and deny cs, just be careful after 6 as long as you dodge E you should be ok, you can also cancel her Q with your E, easy to solokill and very snowbally.”
Murfz says “nice lane, dblade lethal tempo, ignite in lower ranks. You win at every stage as long as you're not behind and both of you play well. Don't engage too hard with your E though since she could punish you by dashing on a bunch of minions and all inning with her ult. Her BORK spike is massive so be careful, if she gets bork before your mythic she wins that fight.”
WarwicksSimp says “Its insane how god easy this matchup is. All runes and summs are good here.
This matchup can be loseable if vs a perfect Irelia which isnt realistic but it can happen. Most Irelias will lose this matchup or never interact with you.”
Tronnes says “Easily the hardest matchup if your playing a half decent irelia. Just safe lane and try and space your q's and you can use e to dodge her stun if you need to. Hope for a gank or 2 from your jng.”
Brb3535 says “u need damage not plated . in my experience if the figth lasts longer she ll outdamage u with those plated bcs she makes the 4 stacks and will consistant dmg u. so u win. just buy damage keep distance until u have dmg to finish her. watch her powerspikes!!!!! or u ll lose. like first item botr is a massive power spike, or when her stacks are on and u are far away from tower.”
RivenCarriedYou says “With botrk buffs I think this matchup is more Irelia favored. Riven can get outplayed pretty easily now and Irelia's first spike is a lot cheaper than it used to be. Aggress level 1 if she started E but be careful to not overtrade, if she gets her passive up she hard wins. Use your E to dodge her E. make sure to not get absolutely buttfucked when she hits botrk. you must rush steel caps and fight really slowly. you can all in whenever she's below 50% due to her W block damage. dont use all of your abilities at once or.. you get fucked, but this is still a really skill dependent matchup.. soo be good :)”
Bonkyou says “Stat checks you for free. This is my second main. Her scaling sucks compared to you, but has better lane all ins if played by a human being.
Try to outscale if she is better and dodge her E with yours obviously”
Chaddouk says “Irelia matchup is an easy matchup for trynd until you play against really insane Irelia players (I prob have met 2 or 3 on EUW so you should be fine). Still I will describe the matchup as how it should be played against a really good one. Lvl 1 Trynd hard shits on Irelia, her best option is to start E and use it to last hit the cs, otherwise don't be afraid just click on her (but don't trade for too long in her wave). Then this level 1 advantage should get you lvl 2 first and prio and a lead but this is where things get spicy. When the wave bouces back, she can just fuck you over from 100-0, she can stack her passive on the wave then use your casters to close distance and run you down and at this point she has more damage with passive stacked, and all you have to do is stay in xp range, and let it bounce, unless you're 100% positive that you can dodge her E. After that when the wave bounces to her you should have an advantage, just like the jax matchup the one who is pushing has the trading advantage. Later on, again, against a really good irelia if she has a wave (your wave) to play with, it should be pretty winnable for her, but if you manage to catch her without waves, like in between her turrets or between her t1 and the wave if you have a freeze or later on side you should beat her easily even if you are just even in items or slightly behind. Ofc look to dodge E all game, and recognize the pattern in which she is using it. It can go from tiny to extreme depending on Irelia's skills.”
BaotoGame says “You need to perma ban this demon right quickly. This is an extremely difficult match for Yorick. Your poor ghouls will be the ones to help this demon get passive and will beat you easily. If Ire plays this matchup correctly, Yorick will only have can just hold the turret and wait for a gank. It will also be very difficult for you to solo 1v1 with it because your ghouls are completely useless because each of your ghouls will die when Ire Q hits them, worse yet, it will give Ire 1 passive stack for each ghouls. But being extremely difficult does not mean that you cannot win in this match. A secret tip in this match is take ignite to reduce the amount of healing of this demon. During the laning phase, try to hold off until you have about 2 items: Triforce and Hullbreaker.You will have a chance to solo this demon, but before soloing, you MUST have maiden to bonus your magic damage then you will completely outscale this demon.”
Saitamaro says “Dorans Blade Start \\ You can usually win this match up already lvl 1 because they disrepect you for being Yone, but they dont actually win lvl 1”
daitolol says “TOP // - Respect level 2, always use e/w to avoid her e stacks
- You can go obvilion if you are really strugling but not really needed
-Every time she goes for a q on the minion try to q+aa(without passive) to get most dmg
-Make sure not to waste Burst while she is in W stance
Mid follows same principles.
”
Black Demon Ezel says “Mobile and annoying but not impossible to kill. Her healing is a factor, but she literally will never out-heal you. Works for you entirely because you have insane amounts of CC. So much fun right?”
_WhiteSnow_ says “You can cancel her q and use your empowered e to do full damage through her w. Just be careful of her all ins past 6, disengage if she ults and just sustain and wait it out until you're healthy enough to go back into the fight for the kill.”
nomidlaner says “Irelia can Q the dogs for stacks getting behind you so easily that makes you almost a snack for her.
Try to get ahead of her before 6 and dont engage when she has full stacks + blade of the ruined king.”
At_Tar_Ras says “most irelias are morons and this is coming from an irelia&renekton two-trick. as long as you out-mind-game her W you will win. save your W for after her W or at the end when it's a confirmed kill and you'll win the matchup well. please stay away from minions if it looks like she can all-in you, SHE WILL. understand that a large portion of irelia's kit (similarly to yours) works well if there's minions to help her stack her passive + let her use her Q. if you don't let her use the minion wave to her advantage, she will be a lot weaker. if irelia is smart bump this matchup up to a MAJOR.”
vexxed04 says “{phase rush ignite flash} This matchup is fairly easy, don't get baited into fighting her at full stacks though. You need full zerks first before taking any big trades. focus on avoiding her E and proccing phase rush to run short trades. Antiheal will be necessary if they have some more healing on their team and you don't insta stomp. Remember to Q+E+ironspike then disengage to prep for all ins. You having no wave and shes walking it to your turret = free quick poke”
Smudey says “[Starting Item: DRing/Cloth 4pot]
[Build: PTA with Boneplating + Riftmaker]
Can go Fleet or even Grasp if super scared. Max Q first since her damage is mostly auto-attack based. Early Oblivion Orb can help against her healing. Bully her when she has no passive stacks and there are no low-health minions around. Dodge her E under all costs or you'll eat a lot of damage. Flash her Ult. When you reach your item spikes, you can even kill her with ignite.”
RipAMC says “Don't let her stack up those passive marks, or she'll start shredding you. She can dash around, stun you, and dish out tons of damage, especially if she's ahead.”
DebRiX9 says “Irelia can be a really hard lane. Never fight when she has passive up. Trade only when she has no stacks and walk around her E stun, if you can't dodge it W asap. You win trades out of Q+E+AA, often you have the isolate Q damage on her since with her dash she might be into your wave. Ult after she ults and keep max W to win the trade. If you ult first you lose.”
ShadowStealer94 says “Will burst you early and will be quite hard to kill due to tankiness and large amounts of healing. Poison Wizard is Especially good into this champ. ”
ShadowStealer94 says “A pretty even matchup. Make sure to buy antiheal for this champ as they do lots of healing and this will shut them down quite effectively.”
Quinnculated says “Максимально нечестный, мерзкий и еще множество других слов можно подобрать для его описания. Доджить е и стараться давать е в ку. Если лендит р, то сразу даем ку+е и пытаемся уйти задоджив е, в такой случае можно выжить. Если проблем не вызывает, то можно взять реванш+лонгсворд, если вызывает, то дблейд+кдг”
OmegaDelta000 says “Really good long trades, and since you have to get really close to short trade or poke, she can easily turn it around. Don't fight without form.”
Antecc says “Can't really lose unless she's irelking. Fight her level 1 before the creeps get low enough for her to Q onto them to get resets. Don't press Q until she dashes away. Remember that Q should be used as an effective gap closer, not a damaging tool. Walk up - E + autos - Q if she tries to leap away. You don't need BotRK to match Irelia. When fighting Irelia with BotRK, remember that this item only deals damage if the target has high current hp, meaning that you should only E when all-ining Irelia after you get below roughly 40% current hp. You're bound to lose lots of hp at the start of a fight with Irelia.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “Its not hard to stomp her but its irelia so always be carefull. Sit on the barrel and try to predict her Qs to low hp minion to hit her with it, if u dont have the barrel just avoid minions that she can oneshot with Q. She can W your E or passive, you can try to juke it but it might be hard during a flashy fight. Respect her especially with ult beacuse if she destroys your barrel or two with her high attack speed you are screwed.”
ABL Pantheon says “This matchup early is more Pantheon favoured. Respect level 1, Level 2 you can engage. Don't let her stack her passive for free. Poke with Q and engage with W when she is low, although you can use W even if she in high health. Try using E when she uses E or Ultimate. After 6 watch for her ultimate. She outscales you lategame.”
ToplaneProfessor says “[Grasp] [demolish] [boneplating OR conditioning] [ overgrowth] + [cash back] [approach velocity]
items : start ruby crystal -> bramble ->plated steelcaps-> CORE
probably the easiest lane in the entire game ,if you know how irelia's passive works and dont get a silly death where you
overextend.
Irelia will push by default so we can combo her undertower rly often”
lordimboutabust says “Irelia tier. Easily biggest counter pick. Perma-ban no matter how meta she is. You fucked up if you're laning against her but try to dodge her E, never fight when her passive is up and make sure never to fight in minion waves | Bone plating | DShield - executioners - steel caps - mythic (tank or eclipse depending on team comps)”
Armenian Dragon says “Easy, but before lvl 6 don't take too much damage. Before lvl 6 she is in her favour, and if you lose, it's game over. After lvl 6 you don't have problems. I recommend Lethal Tempo here.
”
Bernardian says “Bramble gets the job done so does executioners. ignite irelia is a little hard to trade with but still a winnable matchup. Save your E for when she tries her all in bullshit sidestepping her e guarantees that you win the trade YOU CAN WIN LVL 1 IF U START W BUT YOU HAVE TO KITE HER OUT.”
Zombzn00b says “Played this matchup once but the irelia was lowkey dogshit. Use E or W to dodge her E. If she Q you just Q3 her behind you and W into turret. If you do that once she will get scared to Q you again. Be careful of her BORK powerspike.”
Babuleh says “Доран блейд Завоеватель/хватка всегда с пластинами тринити/сокрушительный
Старайтесь уклоняться от ешки и принимать трейды когда у вас есть пассивка, ультой лучше доджить ее ульт. Никогда не идите алл ины и старайтесь выбить из нее максимум с лесником, ведь после 1 2 убийств, камилле обычно хватает ресурсов чтобы убивать ирелию без проблем.”
ardeluu says “Permaban this girl, if she is playing well as well as you, you'll lose your game. She get 0 damage by just using, can out-trade you by auto-attacking with full-stack passive.”
Denied20 says “Only really skilled Irelia's can play around your utility to block her win conditions. As Yasuo play smart around her stacks. She can W caster minions to get quick 4 stacks - keep in mind. Otherwise you should easily hold lane prio and win the duels.
Consider your strength before submitting to her when she gets 4 stacks. Does she have 0 lethal tempo stacks, and you have full? Do you have full health, she has half?
Irelia having four stacks only gives her an advantage, not a free win.”
AlmightyNoxian says “PERMA BAN THIS WHORE. Not because It is a extreme threat or something, you win vs her in lane. BUT she literally outscales & damages you like a goddess or some shit.”
FaNTOP says “Постарайтесь уклониться от её E или блокируйте его с помощью своего W и просто запугайте её на 1 уровне, а затем отойдите под башню, когда у неё 4 стака. Если она хороша, просто фармьте постоянно и старайтесь выжить, держите волну на своей половине поля и никогда не сражайтесь на её половине.”
BetterGoGrevious says “She can dodge your abilities very easy and will probably all-in you lvl.3. Pretty unplayable if the Irelia knows what she is doing”
demirkaiser says “Depends on the Irelia. Dodge her E. Don't stay near minions as she will just Q them, stack passive and heal. Ult him after she ults. Don't fight when she has his passive stacked.”
TTVXiralid says “Keep an eye on her Q stacks and trade carefully. You will outscale and kill her eventually. A good irelia will make it hard but ur still more usefull in teamfights”
kayle1v9 says “ALWAYS ignite + LT + dorans blade. dont let her stack passive, perma hit wave lvl 1 and all in her. Here's a mini guide: https://www.tiktok.com/@kayle_1v9/video/7222393530923306245”
CypherRL says “Similar to Tryndamere but not as bad. This lane is easy if you get early jungle-help, but Irelia wins after first item.
Try to keep the wave near your tower as it limits Irelia's options.”
Twogrand says “This is another hard one. Try your best to zone her from the 3 melees level 1 with your auto attacks, abuse bushes. After that you have to dodge her E to take any fights. If she lands her E on then you should try to disengage but if she misses it, that's your chance to do a short trade with her. Watch low hp ranged creeps that she can set up to dash onto you. Take conq ignite and win early game eclipse build path”
TheGoobMaster says “Outduels you late game. Take ignite or build early anti heal. Silence her w and then spin bc her w reduces a bunch of dmg. w her stun or use q movement to dodge it. Dont fight her in wave”
Althalosofsirun says “Sett is one of the better champs for fighting this monster but it isnt easy rush plateds and bramble and build gore not heartsteel”
lolkayleee says “[Conqueror + Trinity Force]
[Ignite + TP]
Taking Conqueror versus Grasp will really help you in this matchup. Irelia can only all in you and Conqueror will help you win an all in. If you take Grasp then a good Irelia will win at all points of the game.
This matchup used to be relatively easy/straight forward but with the Lethal Tempo changes she now wins at all points of the game. Now with the BORK buffs of patch 12.3 she is now even stronger! If you're in Diamond or lower you will probably easily win because the player doesn't know the limits of Irelia but you pretty much lose if she knows what she's doing and you took grasp and if your jungler never comes. What usually happens is you take Conqueror and trade waves back and forth because you guys can't fight whoever has the pushing wave. You can dodge her E or her R with your R. **If you do decide to go grasp + divine sunderer then you just have to play a bit safer in lane and know you're likely going to lose all ins vs her and it's best to look for small trades**”
Nurakami says “Le creature.
You will win if you don't fight her with her passive every time whens he goes for cs just q her dodge her e and you are safe.”
BezMemow says “Early game she's scary if her stacks are full, be mindful of that. With Botrk she kills you easily but you can easily get a lead before she completes it. Build Riftmaker for dmg otherwise she melts you.
Start D Shield or D Ring”
LocaLAM says “Like the Fiora matchup but easier. Ignite + antiheal will ensure a victory + you can negate her only CC. It's not too difficult unless she also takes ignite.”
Smauggy says “she can gape close you, burst you down and if she time corectly her w she can negage a lot of your dmg there.
hearsteel is good with some antiheal. ”
Loweloexpert says “Another champ that is destroyed by your ult. At lvl 3 you hardwin, instantly E if she uses W and insta ignite, then you auto to death. At 6 wait her E, when she Es insta ult her so she cant recast E and stun you. She is usless with 0 stacks so its a free kill in your ult. ”
Black Demon Ezel says “Mobile, strong, and builds lifesteal. Absolutely the last thing you want to fight. But if you build Thornmail to counter the BORK and Shieldbow she tends to build, it should be a little easier to beat her senseless”
sinatra1633 says “Keep pushing to ensure your minions do decrease in health due to her minions so she cannot dash to them casually.
You beat her in all ins once reaching power spikes.”
Mnem says “Go with Flash IG Lethal Tempo and Bone Coating. You win in the beginning and in the middle, but don't trade with it stacked. If you're after rush-plated Steelcaps. Use your AA W AA E Q AA combo to make it impossible for Irelia to use her Q to enter your Q and reduce damage. Build Plated Steelcaps, Trinity Force or Stridebreaker (I recommend Stridebreaker).”
HSY12 says “She will crush you very easily if you don't respect the fact that she can Q onto your casters early and get full stacks instantly
Try your best to dodge her E by either baiting it out or using your soul unbound to avoid the mark
Buy warden's mail early (right after berserkers). ”
Matrix02Gold says “You will never land you Qs on her because of her non stop dashes and she stomps you in melee range, and she wins early, mid and late game 1v1 against Aatrox ”
ARealFakeIdentity says “Try to stay far enough from her that she can't immediately Q you after killing minions, try to force her to battle you under turret so you have an advantage.”
SesaPrime says “Irelia was a matchup that Camille HAD to respect as she was reworked & was taking the meta for a few seasons. The matchup can be looked at in similar ways to Fiora. Both of you can punish each other & outclass each other, but Camille still outscales her at the end of the day.
Irelia can heavy snowball from any lead she gets which can put her lightyears ahead of Camille. ”
zap and you die says “Skill diff, cancel one of her Qs and pummel her down.
Feel free to start lv 1 fight if she has nothing to get 4 passive stacks on, hit W at over half and run(hit her if needed), ignite is make or break for her and fights can get very close.
Her BOTRK vs your Heartsteel figrst fight, fight near turret, EW is finisher(without a stun), she doesn't have much HP so that should leave you both at around 25% HP (and you heal to 40% around 10s later, what a great time to fight)”
primate nefasto says “Don´t leash your jungle, you can abuse lvl 1 if she don´t stack her passive. If she stack it play safe and try to kill lvl 6. Always dodge her E with your W. if she gets ahead go afk gg next ff 15 report jungle. She will zone you all the laning phase”
Reines Kokosfett says “You win level 1 if she has no Stacks, but if she has you get run down. Try not to get dismounted level 1. At level 2 she can kill you before remounting if she keeps her E. If she ever misses her Q reset he can just run her down. If she misses her E you should also win out.”
Vixylafoen says “She can easily kill you., but the same applies for you to her. Just sit on barrels and wait for her to go forward to Q minions. You can easily win trades that way”
stefanko says “You win this matchup at every stage of the game. Try to deny Irelia xp level 1, she is really weak if she can't approach the wave, but you win even if she does. Save your e for when she has no minions to dash to, and no w as well ideally. You hard win all ins after 6. (lt, ignite or tp)”
Ulamog says “Conqueror Build; Bone Plating + D Blade.
Never fight her when whe has all 4 passive stacks or you will lose.
Parry her E OR sidestep it.
Post 6 you can sidestep/Flash/parry her R and you will always win.
Note that a good Irelia will try to bait out your W as hard as possible with her E. She will also let you think you hit it and then sidestep so be prepared for that.
Ignite or anitheal is important here.”
Zeffie says “Incredibly difficult lane, it isn't really worth fighting her unless she's really overextended. She will dash and heal frequently as well as stun and slow you into oblivion, oh and as soon as she gets BoRK you have 0 chance. My preffered instaban”
Biba or OTP Kled says “Tank base:IONIAN BUTT,you beat her hard in lane phase but she easily beats you in midgame and lategame before you buy botrk and death dance”
Tonho says “Probably the biggest BORK + Sunderer abuser of this game. Post-items you can't trade against her never. Pre-items you can win if she uses her W poorly. Use your E to dodge her E, don't walk on her R border at all. After her W is used poorly, you can one combo her to death with ignite + conquer.
”
PraefectusMace says “Irelia is still the 'buy bork and cause destruction' champion. However early game you can slow down her farming by a LOT. If you dodge her stun, you can keep biting her over and over, and if she tries to rush at you with her stacks maxed, just howl her out. Be sure to farm enough to prepare for the mid-late game of hers.”
dzsama says “Pretty free lane for Jax. Dodge her stun blade and be careful of her Q'ing around. Keep track of her passive stacks as her fully stacked passive will deal a lot of damage.”
Pep_Shin says “If she comes at you level 1. You just kill her. Your Q spam will outdamage her lethal tempo even if she has ignite.
Most of the time you just statcheck her every time she is in range or if she all-in you.
Be careful to have at least Steelcaps once she hits BOTRK or she will win the fight.”
GannicusTTV says “It is mostly a skill match up. You have a kit to kill her early, and she has tools to outplay you. Dodge her E if possible, but be ready to W her all in and trades but hit her back. look for all ins early as you out damage her. respect her when she fully stacks her passive. Rushing plated if you are struggling is not a bad idea”
lorensj81 says “Irelia is quite hard, watch out for her starting Q, stacking her passive on 1st 3 minions and then Q onto you, you will lose that HARD. Never fight her in your minion wave because she can Q around and heal on your minions. Do not fight when her passive is full stacks or she can easy get it.”
Puyi says “Very easy to avoid her stun with your W or E. Early game, you can stand near low health minions to Q-AA her when she Qs in. Early steelcaps and bramble vest will negate most of her damage. Run bone plating.”
Januar says “Permaban this girl, if she is playing well as well as you, you'll lose your game. She get 0 damage by just using [icon=Defiant Dance size=30], can out-trade you by auto-attacking with full-stack passive[[icon=Ionian Fervor size=30]].”
JustSad42 says “This is a matchup, if the Irelia knows how to play it, that’s completely sided for the Irelia early. Due to Irelia’s high early damage, she can kill you without needing to hit you with her E stun. To win this matchup, you just have to let the Irelia outplay herself. If you see the Irelia has 5 stacks, she’s already made a mistake. Back away and the Irelia will keep Qing minions to maintain 5 stacks making the wave push into you very quickly and you won’t lose much. You outscale the Irelia at 1.5/2 items if you’re even, but you will need to be careful of her All-In before then. Something to note in the fights versus Irelia is that she can Q behind you when you W to dodge your W. So consistently hitting Irelia with your W is difficult. And pay very close attention to her E as soon as she casts E1. You either want to Q out of it if she does a very quick E or W it if she tries to hold her E to bait out your W. Practice just looking at her E and waiting for E2. You can react to E2 consistently because of how long it takes to activate. Irelia is much weaker outside of a minion wave, so if you ever find her in the jungle alone, you will always beat her even if you’re a little bit behind.”
Azekar says “Conqueror+Bone Plating.
Start Doran Blade or Cloth Armor.
Ghost+Exhaust or Ghost+Teleport or Ghost+Ignite.
If Irelia is a good player for that character, you've lost. If not, you have a chance to win. Matchup is very difficult but winnable. Skill counts here, even though Irelia should be the favorite here. Avoid her E and R with your W at all costs. If you don't and you fight her, you lose. Rush Bramble Vest and Tabi. You scale more or less the same, so after the first item the odds are very even, but if you have the two items I mentioned earlier it should be a lot easier for you to beat her.
”
TheHellKing says “Horrible matchup. Take Conq or even phase rush if scared. Don't let her get free Q reset on minions. Run away if she has 3 or more stacks. Pre 6 is bearable, just dodge E. After 6, on the other hand, you must not let her get near you. If she lands her ult you are as good as dead. Get some early anti heal and Frozen Heart”
SrMolinv says “We win all in level 1. If she doesnt get passive we win all ins. Be patient if she uses W, auto and charge conqueror. Even if shes behind with Ruined king she can be a threat. Its not that hard, maybe a 3”
Akalimetall says “Irelia will kill you after level 6 as she has many dashes to keep up with you even if you flash and ghost. You can still kill her if she doesn't have R or E up, but it's not a very fun champ to lane against.”
St0rmyss says “Start lethal tempo with resolve or inspiration and start dblade. Go stand in the last brush beside her tower and wait for the wave and her to walk up but wait for the wave to lock with your wave then, walk up to her and start autoing but don't use your use e at the start of the trade, make sure she doesn't get any XP. If she does punish her hard. When she q's a minion if your close she will try to auto you so trade her auto with your w or auto w. Important dodge her e, try to use your e at the last second.”
Lukaas says “Almost all Aatrox Q's against Irelia have a 1/10 chance of landing because of her Q dash. You should try to abuse early game but be aware of her stacks and auto damage. After botrk you can not consistently beat her in 1v1's. Don't fight her late if she has anti lifesteal and ignite up.”
TwTvRANGERZX says “Dodging her stun is essential.
If she has no minions, she will never win.
Be careful earlygame since her passive makes her outdamage you.”
Antisocial_Renekton says “Zone off cs lvl 1.
Dblade start, tabi rush, bork 1st.
Dont w her w.
Dont randomly blow all your cds, if she has space to run you down.
Care with her passive.
Past 6 and tabi you just statcheck her.
After her bork its a bit rough, but its hard to not get significant advantage in this lane.”
RandumPersin says “Take conqueror and this matchup is very easy. Her level 1 is really weak if she doesn't have stacks (make sure your minions are HEALTHY!!!) so you can look for an early fat trade into level 3 dive. Do not touch her when she has full stacks before level 6, you will die. Once both of you are level 6 and you have healing cut, every trade and fight will go in your favor. Our all-in is better until she finished BotRK and we have more sustain, armor, as well as base HP. Simply put, just play like a stat checker and it will work, just don't try it before level 6. Notably, if you do fall behind it becomes important to use E1 to dodge her E stun and to not dump our W stun into her W. When trading, use our W as a disengage tool and a little burst of damage on the way out - try to keep our stun up at all times to force the Irelia player to respect our damage”
AdventurousBoldJourney says “I feel bad for the knives. Punch her for getting close to our wave. E her out of her dumb silly goofy dumb dumb dashes. Roll her. Respect her 4 stacks, and punch her.”
LeyzeHP says “Conqueror/Fleet
Eclipse
You can beat her really hard in lane, punish her everytime she try to farm, you have better trades just be sure to dodge her E or to have stacks to W2 after her E Q AA Q combo so you get all her damage off and shred her.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “Tricky matchup, you outdamage her hard if she has no stacks, but its very easy for her to get them while fighting in lane. Care about your lowhp minions that she can jump on and use as a way to get you. Try to not get hit by her E and if u do instantly W it. Place a barrel on your minions, if you take some practice you can destroy it as she dashes on them, passive auto her and you win most of the fights, but if irelia is skilled it could be very hard. Her ult is a huge threat.”
Smudey says “Try to keep her from stacking up her passive lvl 1. If she respects you, you can get the lvl 2 first and potentially get a taunt. If she doesn't, you can punish her with empowered Qs and lvl 2 all in her and kill her with ignite. If you don't play agressive early game, you pretty much lose the lane since she can easily kill you with full stacked passive. Stay under your turret and hope for ganks, unless you have taken TP with you then you can play for Ults without getting punished too hard.”
hamgi says “irelia is not a hard fight unless the player knows what they're doing. her q resets only after killing an enemy unit with it, and it (+ w) gives her a passive stack. avoid fighting her with her stacks full but do poke her when she goes to q a minion. she's locked in animation and typically cant strike back, so u can either get her low by consistently doing this and force a bad recall or at the very least force her to burn her pots/summoners. be mindful of her stun (e) as they typically put it behind them then behind u for max distance. try to stay out of range to force her to recast or miss the window. when she lands her e or r, she can q onto the afflicted unit and it will reset, like diana's q+e. her r is a skillshot, making it pretty easy to dodge with q3 or e. when landed, it slows u and prevents u from aa immediately. they typically rush bork and tabs so try to match her 1v1 potential by building bork first urself and picking up an executioner's. treat her like yasuo and dont fight her on a stacked wave unless u have means of keeping her cc'd and quickly bursted down”
MrSIrPops says “In the early game you can easily kill her . Especially now that Blade of The Ruined King got nerfed . Just play aggresively in the early game and try to dodge her e so her passive doesnt stack and you should be able to run her down . ”
Nexon22412 says “Perma Ban her.
She destroys you in lane can't walk to minions, can't take even trades, can't play safe she shoves the wave tower dives you and you are dead.”
spaghalli says “Irelia can be really difficult to fight as a ranged champion because she has her Q to gap close. W her if she engages and punish her for missing her E stun.”
SanyGame says “I permoban Irelia when I play top.
Be careful with turrets placement and try to set up them a little more safely. Keep in mind the path you are giving her to dash. Don't set them turrets in a straight line, otherwise you are really easy to kill. If you are confident enough, you can land stuns, her dashes are pretty predictable. Also, don't forget to buy Morello, as It can help very much.”
StingingChicken says “Pre 6 do not ever let her stack up passive for free on the wave. She can block obvious W engages with her damage reduction on her W, so be careful with that. Absolutely need a lead before 6 or you may as well never leave tower range rest of the game. Once she gets bork tabi it literally does not matter if you're up a full item if she has your minions to dash around in.”
Adamikcz2 says “Disgusting champion with 3 Morbillion dashes and a lot of sustain, you can try to kill her when there are no minions near, her passive is not stacked and you have Ignite or other Anti-heal. Only short trades if her passive is stacked.”
spaghalli says “A good irelia won't let you have a fun time. If she gets her hands on you, you're most likely dead. However, I wouldn't call her an extreme threat to kalista because her two CC abilities (E and R) are both skillshots, and kalista can dodge them with martial pose. ”
Crazy Billy Bob says “She will inevitably build blade of the ruined king, before that happens you must secure a substantial lead or you will never be able to sidelane against her”
TwTv EUWXYZ says “skillmatchup def. winnable as darius u need to rush bramble tho and plated steelcaps. u need to try to avoid her when she has full passive tho, sometimes if she all ins u its worth to flash the E/R”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Avoid trading with Irelia when she has her Passive stacked as she will out trade you. Keep an eye on the little bar under her health.When trading with Irelia, keep an eye on low health minions in your lane. Irelia may use her Bladesurge(Q) on the minion to escape the trade or run you down after a skirmish. Irelia benefits from extended trades. Try and avoid going for extended trades with her as she will always win them.”

kajinator says “Phase Rush and Flash + Ignite are mandatory. Most Irelia players use TP so you should have ok kill pressure on her at level 6 if she doesn't have ignite. Do not fight her if she has 3+ stacks because she can proc her 4th with her E and just all in you. Executioners Calling is mandatory into this matchup.”
BreadyToCrumble says “This is widely known as Kayle's hard counter. She can dash onto you anytime she wants, she'll outdamage you very easily even after level 11, and she scales pretty well into the mid-late game so she can still match you. You can't even poke her out because of her sustain! Take Fleet Footwork and call your jungler to help you.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Avoid trading with Irelia when she has her Passive stacked as she will out trade you. Keep an eye on the little bar under her health.When trading with Irelia, keep an eye on low health minions in your lane. Irelia may use her Bladesurge(Q) on the minion to escape the trade or run you down after a skirmish. Irelia benefits from extended trades. Try and avoid going for extended trades with her as she will always win them.”
Evandabank says “I think Irelia is one of the most overrated champions at the moment. Irelia is really strong if she has her passive fully stacked, but if she doesn't have passive stacks, she is incredibly weak.
Never leash your jungler when playing against Irelia. Instead, zone her off of CS by running up the lane and playing aggressively. If she never gets to the minion wave, she can never fight you. Most of the time playing super aggressively against Irelia will give you a kill before level 3. Even with passive stacks, Irelia can never fight you until she has BORK. Once she has BORK, only fight her if you are confident that you can dodge her E OR she has no passive stacks/ minion wave at her disposal.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “She is very dangerous when her Passive is up, so pay attention and don’t stay too close to minions with low HP. It’s very important to dodge her E since she is able to deal lots of damage afterwards.”
SrMolinv says “Si no consigue la pasiva siempre ganamos all in. Si irelia se envuelve con sus cuchillas (W) esperar para usar habilidades y cargar el conqueror con auto ataques mientras. Cuando pilla hoja del rey aunque vaya perdiendo puede ganar el 1v1.”

Duwiiton says “You have to play smart. Irelia loves diving into your minions, which is where you excel at fighting. Stun her in your minions and E her to disengage, and if she ults you use Q to hook to a wall and leave. You can lose this matchup very easily if you play like a madman.”
kam1k says “control her stacks and dont fight if she can taking it to full fast. look at your minions HP. if you got 2+ minions low hp make pre Q before she jump in on it. If she spent E and a new wave of minions came, go back away and let she jump on the first one. pull her with E and all-in. She goes snowball if you make mistake Buy EXECUTIONER if you fill behind. New irelia is low iq champion”
CupcakeDinosaur says “Don't fight her unless you have ignite or any kind of antiheal as she will essentially heal back to full, when fighting, dodge the E and you should be fine”

Voice44 says “такая же ситуация что и с ривен, много зависит от игрока на ирелии, если там достаточно умный игрок то это будет довольно сложный матчап. доджите ешку и предиктите ее кушку чтобы ловить ее своей ешкой и начать бить еб** кхм... если вы зафризите крипов под своей вышкой она ничего не сможет вам сделать. пытайтесь зонить ее чтобы она не набрала 4 стака а если подходит начинайте с ешки и так далее.. когда она купит ботрак следует играть ОЧЕНЬ осторожно так как она сможет буквально шотнуть вас с ботраком если вы будете неаккуратны.”

pura4 says “"[Aperto dos Mortos Vivos com Osso Revestido, Escudo de Doran, E > W] - deixa ela puxar lvl 1, até lvl 3 ela pode te matar facilmente então fique bem recuado, comece a jogar de forma mais agressiva apos fechar corta cura de R$800 e um cristal de ruby, tente esquivar do stun dela sempre e nunca fique trocando com ela enquanto ela estiver com W ativo. (CUIDADO apos irelia fechar seu primeiro item você precisa jogar muito recuado e perto da sua torre, ela te mata sempre apenas andando reto) "”
TriggerDinger says “Very hard to win against but it's not impossible. You should be doing good till she hits 6 then she becomes a problem.Rush Morello as your secound item and then Zhonya later. Try not to fight with her 1 v 1.”
Oogaboogaga says “If you blow your combo into her W you die, make sure to W her W or engage. Pretty easy if you are on par with her. Can be very scary if ahead and she plays team fights well. Ignite + R easy kill. If she has stacks play off wave. Try not to let her freeze.”
KaiOverHere says “(Phase Rush + Flash Exhaust) At level 4, if you see Irelia fully charge her W and then use it on the wave, she can Q to the casters. At level 5 it's half charge, and at level 9 + BORK she just kills them straight up. If she ever lands her full combo you're just dead, so if she lands her E you need to get out with phase rush. If you really mess up you have exhaust. She can also just hold her W through your E/react to your Q so you can't really kill her until late game. No matter how large the temptation, do NOT go tabis. You will forever lack the damage to kill her if you go tabis. The points in which you can kill her is when either she misses her E (she gets 2 stacks from landing it, E -> Q), she doesn't have her passive, or she doesn't have her W/used it to prep caster minions
There is nothing wrong with going randuins/frozen heart if you want to be a terrorist, sometimes i'll go like stridebreaker -> mortal reminder -> black cleaver -> frozen heart.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Avoid trading with Irelia when she has her Passive stacked as she will out trade you. Keep an eye on the little bar under her health.

Elresser says “So far I've been fighting a lot of Irelia's and it was all the same. Get bramble first item, use your regular trading pattern and you will win the trade. Watch out of her E tho with hit she may win.”

Thrandor says “Think before activating your E when she's on you. Irelia can just dash out and reengage you afterwards, try to latch onto her with your Q when that happens . Be aware that she can cast her first E instance in a bush before putting out the second one for an unexpected stun.”
Racz says “Play passively, don't fight her when her passive is stacked. If you can dodge her stun and her passive isn't stacked just E + Q and W her AA's. ”

WelcomeToLosersQ says “Very painful as she out scales you and once on top of you can cause you trouble. Do not engage or fight when she has her stacks.”
CosmicTurtle88 says “Easy matchup but she has a ton of outplay potential here. Rush Bramble and fight her whenever, just be careful of her vamping off 10000 minions in a 1v1. Really though if she's pushed
up and you all in her she'll die if you hit your Q's. BE CAREFUL OF USING W>Q BECAUSE SHE WILL Q THROUGH YOUR Q IF YOU DO IT AT THE SAME TIME. Once she has BotRK
1v1s are much harder ”
Alachiel says “One of the rare toplaners that can handle irelia.
Stay far from your wave if she can kill multiples in a row.
Poke her and make her low as much as you can before 6.”
lenithebot says “Go ignite to stop her from healing and pressure her early game with q spam and barrels if you can try to get kills on her when she is low and she gets huge power spike with level 6 but if you're ahead in lane and play smart with passive and barrels you should come out on top and try to have a barrel at your feet always after she got lvl 6”
MTSungur says “its more of a skill matchup, every skill she hits more danger you are in. dont use your e against her if you dont know about her q's cooldown. if she hits her ult you are probably dead. if she misses her ult you win it. ”
tacowo_ says “Irelia is a meme. Her passive is a copy-paste of ours, except ours takes 5 stacks, and hers requires abilities. She will outdash and outheal you. However, her best builds require her to stack tons of armor, and you can abuse this. ”
UlisesFRN says “Pain. You can beat her lvl 1 without minions, you can beat her if you are ahead in items and level.
She beats you each and every time otherwise, she beats you in all in,wich can do pretty easily cause of her Q. You are going to loose minions, you will not have preassure, you will not be able to take plates, she will oneshot you everytime she gets to you
Im going to start banning Irelia instead of Mundo tbh”
Farmer Cleetus says “She's very annoying and will for sure outfight you, if being camped by enemy jungle also. Make sure to take Lethal Tempo and Ignite. There are also Irelia's that love to abuse Pinkwards to place infront of you so you Auto Attack it, instead of her, so make sure to be careful if she's one of the abusers. Make sure to wait until she used her Q on you before using your W, or by pressing (E) when she used Q on you, because you can do true damage on her by that. She will become a minor if you have BORK and Hullbreaker with Plated Steelcaps, it will make you impossible to get killed by her, as long as she doesn't go for Divine, also make sure to rush Anti-Heal as Irelia's first main item is BORK. Deny her lifesteal and get herself damaged by having Bramble, one of the strong kind of items against her.”
wooverbo says “Respect her early and rush Bramble Vest if she gets Vamp Scepter on her first back, otherwise buy Bamis. After that you can run her down.”
TENTAKILL ILLAOY says “Она может легко камбекнуть, можете взять таби и химпанк пилу, если матчап в 2+ милишников то потрошитель зайдет шикарно, как и танец смерти.
Легкий матчап, но уважайте сноубол Ирелии, она дуэлит вас до лвл 3, фармите и делайте заморозку.”
Maxpiku says “Скиловый матчап. Пока мы доджим ее E все должно быть хорошо. Желатьно в этом случае собрать пораньше хилорез, максить именно Q и если не уверены в себе взять броню на первом закупе. ”
Taiquyorah says “MU difficile si elle joue correctement !
Elle possède un dash très rapide capable de dodge vos toneaux, elle gagne tout les 1v1 si elle a son passif de stack. Sans son passif, elle ne fait pas grand chose donc la seule fenêtre que vous avez est d'ignorer la première wave afin de la poke au Q le plus possible et lui appliquer votre passif, si vous réussissez à la mettre à 50% HP avant qu'elle puisse stack son passif, alors vous pourrez la tuer, sinon il faudra respecter ses dégâts tout le reste de la phase de lane.
Placez vos barils sur les minons qu'elle voudra Q pour l'exploser et appliquer votre passif.
Esquivez à tout prix son E et vous devriez être capable de survivre.
Farmer autant que possible, en teamfight vous serez plus utile qu'elle.
Dès qu'elle a sa BOTRK, vous ne pouvez plus gagnez à moins de bien kite lorsqu'elle vous engage.
Son ultime est très menaçant également.
C'est un champion qui profite beaucoup des kills qu'elle peut prendre (même si elle se situe) puisque son powerspike de dégâts arrive bien plus tôt que le votre et même si vous vous entre-tuez, elle en profitera plus que vous donc interdiction de lui donner des kills sinon elle dominera le reste de la game.
N'hésitez pas à récupérer la [[bramble vest]] pour faciliter la phase de lane.”
NegativePhoenix says “Irelia is mostly going to be making the lane hers in the early stage. Her stacks give her more damage and attack speed which she will try to abuse on you once she gets 3-4 stacks and use you to get her last one. Just stay near tower and respect what she can do early. Later in the game she'll try harder to kill your squishies than she will try with you. Get Grievous early and ignite for her as her lifesteal will not be lacking at every stage. Catch her away from your minion wave and she's an easier to hit target, otherwise she'll just Q out of the zone.”
Yiphen says “NEED MORE MATCHUP EXPERIENCE.
Start Longsword + 3 Pots. You need to dodge her E's to win trades. A true test of ping/ reaction speed. Otherwise, you can kite her. Go Ignite if you're facing her in Draft. Freeze wave near tower. Dance.”
7 LE BOSS says “You hard counter her, she almost can do nothing, if she tries to Q a minion punish her with your E then punch her, when she uses W use your W cause it don't reduce true damage.”
gekigami says “Irelia contra gnar é uma das matchups mais perigosas e difíceis( se não A mais difícil). além dela ter um kit de sustain em lane ela tem liberdade de lhe dar engage quando quiser caso você queira farmar.
Preste atenção no HP de seus minions para que ela não pule em você com facilidade. farme safe com o Q e peça ajuda de seu jungler.
Uma dica de itens baratos é você Rushar Grevas de aço o mais cedo possível e carapaça do vigia.”
Groovywelsh says “If the irelia is good and kites you whit her Q you lose if she does not do that you win so try to kill her when you don't have too many minioms or she is away for the wave”
7EyesNoSkills says “You should dodge her E, don't get too close to minions when she got max passive. You are much more stronger than her before pre-6. If her ult on CD, you can kill easily, dont let him land his E, thats all.”
WildSamu says “Dblade + Red Pot.
This is almost unwinnable if her IQ is above room temperture.
If her passive is stacked she can kill you, dont walk up to the wave.
Dodge her E with E or she will kill you.
Dont overextend or she can just run you down.
Do your best to farm under tower.
A good Irelia will freeze on you and your lane is over.
After Shieldbow the matchup is a bit easier but she still has the advantage.”
meduselolol says “run ignite you win level 1 use this to push the wave to assure you get first 12 minions. After level 6 you can kill her with ignite if she misses e
start dorans blade
she murderers you on bork power spike when you're pre level 11 and no nashors”
GodOfNoxus says “Don't even try to fight her at lvl 1 especially when she's spell is flash+ignite. Always dodge his 3rd skill or you will get combo and killed by her. Try not to fight when she got full stacked passive”
kurbart says “a real skill based match up she can run you down like nothing, but here is your saving grace she farms like crazy with her face just punish her every time she's goes to farm wall her when you think she is gonna go kill a minion and DO NOT
GET STUNNED dodge her stun”
DimitriLSD123 says “Stay in your turrets don’t get stunned and I like to stack them all on top of each other so she can’t dive them 1 at a time take Exhaust and you get a kill every time you stun rocket combo ”
VituVonDoom says “Perma ban her, hard matchup in mid, unplayable in top. She has way to much damage, mobility, healing, and tankyness to just make you useless. If you want to face the beast, take the Conq page, and may luck be on your side. Rush anti heal, Try to dodge her E, avoid fighting her when her passive is satcked, and pray she doesn't have eyes, hands, or a brain”
KrazyKid1024 says “This Character is so freakishly strong and is impossible to fight. Same as Fiora. Her W makes her take no damage. Q is broken as all hell, E is easy to stun you with as jumps are easy reads. Ult is just... pain.”
Michcio says “If she is good its hard to play against her beacuse of her high damage and W that counters your barrels pretty hard. In my oponion It is not that bad as people say tho. Quarantine from low hp minions and place barrels on them. Avoid going to far from your turret beacuse if she stick to you she can easily 100 to 0. This matchup is mainly dependent on her W usage and your barrel placement. Remember that she can destroy barrels really fast if she has stacks (that give her attack speed) if she dashes to minion nearby. Rush grevious wounds after sheen”
HalexUwU says “Just gotta be careful early game. Do not Q waves as Irelia will abuse a large minion wave. Try not to push too hard and just survive until you have frozen heart. Be careful after that and wait until late game. ”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Level 1 contest the first 3 front line minions so before they get low enough you can trade a bit. If she does not respect you can get a good trade. If she respects you will have to back away, let the wave push to you and preferably look for trades level 3+ and before level 3 just a bit of poke -> When she is not close a wave force trades -> Dodge her E preferably with E instead of Q3 / Same with her R -> When she has no stacks or she fucked up her Q reset punish -> Fighting in a wave is possible but risky -> Freezing waves and playing close to your tower range is generally good because even if you mess up she won't have enough space to punish properly + you will trade back”
NegativePhoenix says “Grievous, no question. This is a very skilled up matchup at most stages. This is one champ I do not advise fighting in a 1v1 at level 1-2 right away as even if you stack Conq first, her passive can overshadow it and help her win the fight. Poke her when she goes in for CS, and if you need to, W her ult so it phases through you. Once shes in your face as long as she isn't fully stacked off conq and her passive already you win most fights”
Galactities says “Never been against a good irelia. I'd buy early bramble or wardens mail into her. If she builds shield bow get bramble if she builds divine sunderer go wardens. Note: You'll need thornmail into her regardless. Dont fight her on her 4 stacks when she runs out of stacks just E her dodge her stun if you can and then stand ontop of her and just smack her to death.”
Baby Sona says “Irelia just all ins you and shreds trough you. She will deny you on farm and in worst scenario even on XP. Use basic Irelia knowledge, wait for her stacks to expire and fight only then! Try not to be near minions and play passive.”
Aberrant Demon says “She runs you over in any trades early so don't. Once you hit 3, you can look for short trades if she doesn't have her passive stacked. When looking for this opportunity, wait for one of your minions to get low and stand by it. If she decides to Q that minion, you can give her the Demacian punishment that every disgusting, filthy, vile, repulsive Irelia player deserves. If you can't dodge her E, W to reduce the stun. Post-6 she wins the all-in really hard so you have to be very careful with your engages.”
ColdStuff says “Irelia is an extremely tough match-up given her proclivity to shrug off damage, how hard she counters ranged champions, and her tankiness. ”
King Turtle says “she can dash on top of you, negating your Q edge damage and making it hard to land your E. She also has a ton of early power and a good Irelia can be extremely aggressive if she isn't respected. Best to avoid her as Lillia Top.”
chedlol says “This matchup will only be hard if you disrespect her. Don't give her a long lane to chase down, just let her push and ask for early ganks, Don't be in her half of the lane if she can all in you, you will die. Look to bait her and look at your low HP minions to know where she'll be next. Care for ignite.”
JORGE OMAGO 74 says “OUTSCALED. The lane it's basically who has the passive wins.Her passive is stronger than yours but at lv6 you take the lead.Use your E after she uses her W because you won't tank any AA's during her stance.”
IcunoX says “Surprisingly easy lane, start E and don't get too agressive, Irelia players are very greedy and not patient so just wait for their mistakes and punish her when her Q is on cooldown.”
Vizia219 says “Irelia's autos and abilities simply outdamages you, if you build armor, there's a change you can beat her, however you will have to build armor early game instead of AP.”
The Kled Mob says “Make sure she doesn't touch the wave and hit her E. She can dash into your Q and if you miss Outer Q and she has 5 stacks + ignite run. Irelia matchup is pretty easy because she needs to play around minions with her Q and get stacks to do damage and as Darius you can just zone her off the wave.”
Potent213 says “Runes:
PTA
Goal in lane:
Punish as hard as you can.
Wave 1-4:
Push wave 3 and wait for wave to bounceback, impossible to cheater recall versus Irelia, she has too much waveclear.
Tips:
Take ignite.
In this matchup it's all about who controls the lane, try to play super aggro early, and DO NOT PULL IN THIS MATCHUP!
If she is able to start stacking her Q you are in a very dangerous position, her base damage is really high, although it is not as strong as before due to her changes, she is still a menace when fully stacked.
Now even more than before, you can abuse her early, so try to take a lot of trades as long as she isn't fully stacked while starting the trade.
Try to parry her E onto her if possible, level 6 you can parry her R as well.
Hold your Q if she has minions she can dash on as she can dash on them making you miss your Q, very dangerous, so try to hold or do very short Q's.
Don't use your burst on her W she won't take much DMG, especially later on, though proccing vitals is fine as it's true damage.
Don't fight if she has a big minion wave, and respect her POWER SPIKES, just as she must respect yours.
”
LegitLechner says “Can be beaten easily but if irelia has any skill you will have trouble hitting e. Lethal tempo rune makes lane unplayable and just have to farm to 6.”
Zorroh says “Irelia is by far the Kryptonite to Gnar. Her kit counters Mini Gnar in every single possible way. Her E stun can interrupt Gnar's E, she has a point and click dash on a 0 second cooldown, and not to mention insane burst, especially after she completes her mythic item. The best way to play this matchup is just to take sustain runes and rush Steelcaps and Bramble Vest. The main focus of this matchup should be on surviving and CSing, it's difficult to solo kill Irelia as Gnar unless the player is really bad. Mega Gnar does win trades, however locking her down from her mobility in Mega can be difficult, especially since you now have a bigger hitbox for her E. Take Exhaust into this matchup. It basically gives you an additional lifeline if you int, and helps slow her for a 2v1 kill with your jungler. ”
Scallywag says “Skill matchup.
If she gets 4 stacks or can potentially get 4 stacks, play very safe since she can kill you if you don't watch out.
Don't try to trade with her when she has bork because she can and will kill you.”
MAD GAREN says “PT-BR- Irelia é um caso muito complicado, o campeão com 5 stacks fica imbatível, por isso Garen precisa fazer short trades até a meia life da Irelia, onde ele consegue facilmente engajar e matar com o R. Porém nunca a troca pode se estender contra uma Irelia mesmo fraca, sua passiva é muito poderosa.
ENG - Irelia is a very complicated case, the champion with 5 stacks is unbeatable, so Garen needs to make short trades until Irelia's half life, where he can easily engage and kill with R. But the trade can never extend against an Irelia even weak, its passive is very powerful.”
Gnar Rule34 says “Полная жопа - попадает по тебе своей E - считай себя трупом
Ни безопасного поука, ни уверенного влёта здесь не будет, если, конечно, противник умеет на кнопки нажимать. Ее заряженные АА очень больно бьют, снимая всё лицо за 3-5 ударов, так что, лучше рисковать поменьше”
LoucasTitan says “Irelia is one of the most difficult champions to fight as Yorick. The best way to survive the laning phase is to sacrifice some minion waves and make sure to avoid getting hit by her abilities. It's also important to avoid getting too close to her, as she can easily take out your ghouls with her Q ability. My personal strategy would be to rush to my power spike fast and make the lane gankable for my jungler.”
powerfullgeo says “Don't you love the LoL balance team? 'Cause I don't. Don't let her get her passive and dodge her E. Try to Q through her to make her miss her R. To simplify you win hard if she can't get her passive, if she has it up you lose hard even if you're 10 kills up”
davidbiton1 says “irelia can be fine early game but towards the late game you will die to her. try to outfarm her and try to cheese some kills on her. i reccomend taking the tank build against her.”
TSmash says “Irelia. Don't trade with the stacks. She can enter your Q and deny half of your damage, avoid the stun and play with the jungler. She is a Irelia, she will ever try to kill you, wait for her mistakes and play around it.”
KyleTheConqueror says “She needs to get close in order to kill you. She does a lot of damage, but if you play it right you will win 90% of the time. be patient as she might try to dash around a lot.
(DAMAGE, SUSTAIN, SPEED)”
OwOskan says “Irelia's biggest threat is her stun, as she will be able to slow you down and combo you, but it can easily be avoided with your W.
Still be mindful of her regen if you want to dive !”
ShacoMagicTrick says “Dumb melee all in champ. Just use your brain and your boxes to trick him. Poke with E. Dodge her stun with Q or ult. REMEMBER THAN SHE CAN ONESHOT YOUR BOXES WITH Q so dont give her free stacks. Build antiheal.”
queen_rane says “[DODGE] If the Irelia's good you basically lose. She wins an all in if she has 4 stacks of her passive AND she'll probably run lethal tempo which just shreds you.”
SilverAvalanche says “Bully: Don't do anything until level 6, she will just heal the damage you deal so you are looking for the all in (focus on CS), once you hit level 6 you just kill her. Just remember not to use your shroud immediately but wait until you have low energy. And if you get hit by E then you die glhf.”
Trundledaddy says “I personally don't think the lane is
very hard, if you just chose your fights when she doesn't have full stacks, and no minions to stack it on, you can pretty much just run her down and take hands off keyboard if dodge her stun, she does spike with botrk especially with ignite so be careful”
Sarmisuper says “Very hard matchup due to her multiple dashes and damage reduction on her W. Be careful of her stacks and don't get too close to her. Don't use your E offensively, unless you are sure you can win when she engages you. Dodge her stun with your E, if she misses it you can most likely engage on her. Buy Plated Steelcaps and Bramble Vest early.”
Federals1 says “She will almost always 100-0 you at 6, so be careful of that. She doesn't even need to stack up beforehand, as she gets them mid fight easily. She will anihilate you once she gets Blade Of The Ruined King, so try to kill her at least once before that. You need to bait out her w before an all in, or your ultimate burst will go to waste. First rune page should be used. W max is best here as once she is on top of you the extra damage and heal is a lot better, since you do not want to be the one that starts the trade anyway, as most of the time she will be quite far back until she finds an opening with q. Focus on building a lot of bulk, so a lot of health and resists. Flash+Ignite are the preffered summoner spell choices. Doran's Ring and Blade both work well into her.”
ProbablyPlatform says “They probably arnt good at the champ but going against them is like when you eat a crisp vertically and it pokes the roof of your mouth”
lolkayleee says “[DODGE]
If the Irelia's good you basically lose. She wins an all in if she has 4 stacks of her passive AND she'll probably run lethal tempo which just shreds you. ”
Metal Addict says “go ignite and don't fight her level 1. You beat her level 2 with ignite and W. Don't go E level 2 because you have no shield. When you are level 6, you can click ult before she gets her second E off making it useless. Same with her ult. You can poke her with Q because she will Q your cs and it's just really morde favored after level 1”
TheDeadliestMacarena says “So fast. Can dash away effortlessly. Stay safe and don't be too aggro against her coz she will outplay and outspeed you. Exhaust could be a good counter. Ask for a gank or stay safe near your tower. ”
PandoraPanda14 says “punish her for farming early. try to not let her q. Slow pushing can be dangerous as she can easily stack against ranged minions. She can dash into ur q so try to E Q instantly for heals. ”
Nekoparry says “///////////////////////////ENGLISH//////////////////////////
Never stack a lot of minions in this matchup, since she will start healing and probably destroy you, at early game try to poke everytime she Qs a minion, but never have more than 1 minion low health, since she will Q both and you may fail your Q. Try to parry her E or her R after lvl 6 and you should be fine, tabis and bramble vest really help if you are insecure of your 1vs1. Here are some things you have to take care about: if she gets lvl 2 before run, she will all in you and you will die. If she gets vampiric scepter you will probably need antihealing before fighting her, unless you're really ahead, remember Irelia is the beast of outplays, since even when she is behind, if you have a big wave she can erase you.”
gazibulle says “Skill matchup, Camille favoured in lane, but it's Irelia so it cancels everything. If the Irelia player is excellent, he will always win against Camille, but you can get her in trouble. Level 1 sadly there is nothing to do because of the Irelia changes (4 stacks passive), she will just Q the first 3 minions and Q you and you will always lose. UNLESS you start Q, stay a bit back and kite towards your tower, she will get the minion aggro and will lose as you have your shield (don't overextend ever). Then it's just the basic trade pattern: 0-1 stack with no minions she can execute around => go in, 4 stacks or 2 with minions she can execute => don't. I advise you to take Ignite and not spending 800g on Executioner early game, as you won't win the 1v1 by then if you don't have Sheen. If you miss E, you are most likely dead unless you are fed and can tank her astronomical damage. Do W-Q-Q trades then back off with E if she counterattacks. If you get hit by her E and you don't have passive shield, it means you are dead; good Irelias will wait until you E onto a wall then follow you with Q. You can ult her E and R, they are both quite easy to react to, remember that the better option is always to sidestep her E with your Q mov. speed and dodge her R with yours. If you have Triforce and she has BotRK, you lose because of the recent nerfs/buffs. Very late game you "should" win if she doesn't have too much stats or Shieldbow, otherwise she will just tank your damage and heal for 500 per Q. Remember that the hardest thing to do in this matchup is not to get brain tumor during the game.”
KiroChuong says “She can oneshot your ghouls by using Q. You can build executioners early or bring ignite and play safe until you have at least 2 items.”
desch3445 says “suffer.
She's too mobile, has too much sustain, too much all-in, and will eat you for breakfast with a side of hashbrowns or whatever the Ionian equivalent of hashbrowns is.
Take Phase Rush to minimize her trade potential so you can cling onto whatever counterpressure you may have.”
darkintaki says “Watch out irelia passive, she just can beat you if her have it stacked up, use your E for cancel Irelia's Q, do Executioner's calling.”
Anothaoneforym6 says “You just won't beat her in lane, she can kill you so easily if you mess up and her sustain is too high for you to E rush her. I'd recommend Q max and wait to outscale, this will take until about 2 core items plus boots. you will need bramble and probably armor boots.”
alexionut05 says “She can be quite the nuisance, but you can defeat her even in lane by playing patiently. W when she tries to all in you, and potentially turn the fight around by stunning her into a wall and fighting her. Avoid fighting if she has full stacks, though. Pick up an early Bramble Vest and you should be all good.”
MHLoppy says “She plays out a lot like Jax, where she's weak without passive stacks but has pretty good damage if she can get them. Other than tracking her passive stacks (and avoiding fights where she has them or can easily get them), the biggest issue is her mobility. You'll need to always track where she's able to Q to, and be careful about throwing your axe if you're not sure if you'll be able to pick it up again safely. Although you have advantage early, I expect her to out-scale you.”
IoannAzerot says “Take ignite and hope for your luck. If you want to try and gain an advantage take a rune with an undead grip and force a fight at first level before Irelia gets a full passive. It won't work any further than that.”
youmamaleftu says “Skilled match up. Do not trade when she has full stacks on her passive. before 6 level stun her with her e. After lvl 6 dodge her e with q and her r with w and you will be fine. Buy antiheal”
Scarhawk says “A good Irelia will dumpster a Tahm. Play for lane and hope that she misses her abilities on you. Pretty easy if you're ahead. Buy boots first back.”
LimitlessHavoc says “You hard win level 1, you just need to trade before the melee minions get low enough for her to Q all of them and stack her passive, so if you leash you wont be able to abuse the level 1 advantage as effectively.
When the wave is slow pushing to you, you need to respect the fact that she will have her passive fully stacked and unless you are extremely ahead she can simply run you down.
Dodge her E with your dashes and don't waste your full combo on her W.
If she fails to kill a minion with her Q it goes on a long cooldown early game, you can abuse this.
Respect her fully stacked passive.
Level 6 you hard win all ins if she doesn't juke your ult with her Q and if she doesn't land her E.”
Cryniu says “Juega neutral pero con mucho cuidado, Irelia en los intercambios largos hace mucho daño.
El combo Q+W es indispensable cuando ella se lance.
Lleva tenacidad en runas y botas de armadura, ella aturde.
Prioriza vesta espinosa, irelia se cura mucho de base.
Considera resistencias híbridas, hace bastante daño mágico.”
Helzky says “Ah yes, my permaban. Irelia gets rewarded for you hitting your E and she gets her passive stacks off your ghouls giving her more money. Need I say anything else? If you're not banning Tryndamere, this should be your permaban. If you have her in your game, play under tower and don't try to solo kill her, it doesn't work. Buy executioners and hope your jungler is good at the game.”
ZomB2446 says “Unplayable, your ghoul heal her, stack her passive and give her easy gap closer. Your entire kits enable her entire kits. Lethal tempo only make it worst”
OliveeGarden says “take shield bash. By far one of the simplest matchups, care her passive stacks and fight her when she has low/none, save E for E + W ”
RENGARDOSEXO says “i always go exhaust and ignite against her, use your jump to dodge her R and E, or be really skillful to just simply dodge her E, it's not really that hard, she misses her E at early game? you just kill her, and build an advantage
”
havy says “second worst matchup imo, do not get stunned, do not get near low hp minions, do not take extended trades, and you'll "win" :)
ask your jungler if he can prioritize you over other lanes, and if not, just try your best to farm...”
FyreRode says “Be careful of her dashing around! You beat here on level 1 and can outplay her on level 2 of you dodge her stun, but if she hits it, bite her and run away!”
magician4444 says “Levels 1 - 5 is your only chance to get a lead. Dodge her E and try your best to have good positioning and kite her as well. After 6, getting hit by her ult is just a death sentence. Rush your boots + Frozen Heart and try to flash her ult. You can kill her with good spacing and kiting if she doesn't have her ult but if she has it and she hits you, you're dead, just try to run away, unless you're really ahead. BORK is a massive spike for her, and she gets so much stronger with it, be careful!”
TheChoz3nOne says “This match-up is minor threat-level and you can outplay her with all your kits. Even if you're behind - just max boxes and early or lately she'll jump on you because (idk why) all Irelia players are very aggressive and they can even dive on you. I only lost to Irelia once in 2021 on Top and only because of my ping. I have about 70% Win Rate in games against her. Some of my Irelia opponents played so bad against me so they couldn't do any damage in the game ending up the game with score of 0/11 or even more.”
ChowJunior says “Can get out of hand if you let her. Watch your minion wave. Don't fight her with her stacks. Make it a point to find minions she might Q to and predict with your E-Q combo”
SadgeBoyK says “dont walk up when she has her q's stacked. dodger her e, goo the wave so she cant spam q, and you beat her with ignite if you fight her when she has no more q. also, her mana pool is very limited, you can bait out her abilities to waste her mana.”
Your Desired Username says “A good Irelia player can make your life hell but this match-up is pretty straight forward. Rush tabis if you're having difficulties. Play extremely safe level 2, i mean it. Her damage is so disgusting if she hits e and its kinda hard to dodge her e because you're an immobile champion. Poke, poke, poke early and farm safely. Level 6 is where it gets easy. You can simply ult her at full life when she has 0 stacks and murder her. A good trick you can use is to ult her just after she throws her first E so that it gets eliminated. Ignite allows you to fuck up and still win and makes early fights pre-6 very doable. You outscale her and she's also a pretty good ult target, so feel free to do that if there are no better targets.”
boboderaffe says “A good Irelia (and even bad ones) can easily outtrade you or catch you off-guard. Your E+W combo usually never works because she can jump into safety with minions nearby. She can use the same trick to jump out of your ult.
Rush anti heal and Zhonya's and give up as much as you have to. Never 1v1 her.
Early on you can still get some stacks with E and W by simply targeting ally minions that are about to die.
Later in the game, Irelia is not a problem anymore, you just have to survive her early on.
Irelia will almost always build shieldbow/steraks and wit's end. You simply have to buy shadowflame (if she is the biggest threat in the entire game or someone else is also reliant on shields.”
Xochii says “Do what you'd do with every other champion; only fight if her passive isn't stacked. Prioritize dodging her E. If you play it carefully, you should stomp her with quite ease.”
Rayli36 says “Broken champ isn't it? try to avoid her trading when she's stacked but if you'll play it right you can win trades with her even when she has stacked passive and i now this sounds crazy but its possible remember that her r deals damage when go out of it and if you'll come back in it
AD-dmg ”
Black Demon Ezel says “Something is wrong with you if you did not ban Irelia. Her Q one-shots your walkers and slaughters you making her Yorick's biggest counter. Do NOT play Yorick into Irelia no matter what lane she's in. Instead, try to swap lanes or if not possible, do NOT play Yorick. Play someone like Mordekaiser or something ”
DanteBlaire says “Match up favorável e bem tranquila com a build de 1x1. Volibear acerta controle de grupo bem fácil na Irelia. Apenas ter cuidado em trocar com ela com a passiva ou conquistador full stackados. ”
Atomragnar says “If she is any good this is a hard matchup. Rush steelcaps and brambles vest, it really helps with your trades.
You can cheese her level 1 if you start w. Don't fight her if you have lot of friendly minions with low HP since she can Q/heal on to them. You MUST dodge her E, if her E is down you can kill her. You can also interrupt her Q with your E if you manage to time your E while she is in her Q animation.
NEVER fight her if her passive is fully stacked.
Even if you are ahead of her, rush steelcaps and brambles vest. ”
BreadedBreadCrum says “High damage, low burst for your shield to delete, high mobility, insane scaling. Irelia is ban worthy. If you can dodge her stuns well, take HoB to counter stun her. Otherwise, take Grasp to make trades more fair. Her engage is completely destroyed is she is stunned midway. Capitalize on her Q mistakes. Take BoRK or Goredrinker.”
just pick yone says “Worst matchup for yone. Wait for your jungler and play defensively, freeze waves. Build d-shield if you dont want to take fleet. almost unwinable.”
Hoplite345 says “Irelia is a mobile, and very much up in your face champion with a lot of utility and sustain, just like Yone, however, this is one of the harder match ups for Yone and typically should just be banned.”
Makkro says “Try to dodge her e or w it and bully the fuck out of her lvl 1 and back off into tower when she has 4 stacks if shes good you just perma farm and try to survive and keep wave on your side never fight on her side”
LunaticDancer says “Irelia is a 1v1 nightmare for most characters. She's extra bad for Yorick though, because she can one-shot your ghouls with her Q, stack to full and then beat you to death with ease. You should be banning her. If you didn't for some reason, prepare to spend a lot of time under turret, take D Shield and I am Bullied runes. This build deals with Irelia a tiny bit better because she can't one shot your ghouls as they land, and you have decent burst damage.
Anti-heal highly advised.”
COJA says “Her Q allows her to dodge all your spells easily as long as the minion wave is big. If you push into her, make sure she doesn't manage to freeze it. Use your E to dodge her stun if possible, but otherwise this matchup is almost unplayable. Buy tabis and collect what farm you can.”
pubg player 1337 says “She is powerful, dont fight with her, wait till your jungler can gank you, in lategame you can kill her easily (if she is not fed) (Thornmail on 2nd item)”
RedRandyDevil says “I'll put her in major because she's just awkward to deal with. Keep an eye on her passive, trade with her when its on 0 and when she has no minions to kill. Rule of thumb is If irelia is pushing she wins. If you are pushing, you win.”
Captain Bane says “this champion is what defines the taste of vomit I get in my mouth whenever I play against her. Freeze the wave on your end, if things get out of hand, early game look to not let her get all of her passive stacks and be careful for a lvl 2 all-in, i would go barrier/TP and maybe try PTA because you will win short trades, long trades tho..... just dont (if she is going to get passive soon anyway)”
Sveti Petar says “AHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHHAHHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.
Just all in her lvl 3, tell ur jg to stay away from top so he doesn't feed her early
if she wins first 1v1, and u used ignite and barrier, then i don't know what to say to u. wait till ur jg and mid gank u.
Grasp & divine.”
peepoHappy says “Fuck Irelia players, broken champ.. Just pray you dodge her E, if you can do that, you can battle her but plz don't 1v1 good irelias before lvl 6 unless you can bully her in the early game”
AnEx1stingBeing says “Always rush bramble vs Irelia, and never engage unless you have ignite and your Ultimate. The matchup is winnable if you don't start fighting when she has all her stacks.”
Larkana_ says “Most Irelias will dash to backline minions even when near your turret which is mostly a free kill. She can't really kill you either unless you eat all of her abilities.
Outscaling edge teamfights/duels: Skarner [Medium]/Skarner[High]”
Captain Coomer says “Don't fight her when her passive is up, and don't fight her when she uses her R. Short trades before level 6 (max Q > Auto > E > Auto > E) with your combo, then all in with R.”
space cat says “irelia has a lot of outplay potential but unless they are very good at irelia, you can win trades even if shes full stacks, but its better to not try it there. try to fight her when she doesnt have stacks, land Q, and you win. ”
Eduardocwalle says “This is a really good 1v1 too, but in my personal experience, irelia isnt a problem UNTIL SHE GETS KILLS FROM NOWHERE, u can dodge his e and r with our ultimate. U have to shor-trade her, always if she has no passive, rush antiheal and play with ignite.”
Night Guy says “Irelia is a master top laner she has a good sustain and negate of both AP and AD because of her W and has a stun plus her ultimate gives her opportunities to outplay any gank or trade you try to do after 6. You kind of have to poke her from afar with your Q and try to dodge her E. In the early levels you can try to poke her down and try to secure a kill if she whiffs her Q and can't really get to you so abuse your range on her and poke her down an Irelia without her E and Q is pretty much easy to trade and/or kill, after 6 though play it safe and probably ask for ganks. If you cannot play against her or hate this champion as much as I do avoid playing against her at all circumstances by banning her.”
Black Demon Ezel says “Can't believe I forgot about Irelia when this guide first came out. She's so deadly because of her perma lifesteal. Half the time, Ignite won't work because she'll just permanently kill minions to counteract the grievous wounds. You'll need an army to kill her if she's too dangerous”
Gragas Fumante says “ Her kill potential uppon you when Mini is absurd. Use your E to fall back when she jumps. If she lands her stun you are dead. You can try supress her under the tower not allowing her to keep her passive stacked but it is very risky due to ganks and her high mobility.”
5Head Builds says “It has to be a good player but this matchup can be hard because this really just comes down to the better player.
Advice: Don't get stunned and you should win whatever trade or all-in.”
lookatherizinosaurus says “Not as much of a threat since her nerf and imo more of a skill matchup. She can't kill you that easily in early laning phase anymore so make sure to stay even or get ahead with a bit of bullying”
Acumulator says “Annoying since she will disturb your rhythm and occasionally Ult you but other than that it is besically you trying to hit her while she tries to dodge enough so that she can still engage.”
ToothlessKnight says “A master of Irelia can make anyone's life hell, but Urgot wins this win pretty hard. If you land your E she is pretty screwed in a 1v1 and you outscale her pretty hard. She only has kill pressure if she fully stacks her passive off the minion wave. If she stacks it and you know shes going to land her stun, just E away and kite until her passive falls off. This is a fairly easy matchup overall, just don't get caught or let her get a lead.”
_WhiteSnow_ says “Very powerful champion for duels. Dodge her e at all costs and fight close to turret + short trades. Rush antiheal if you're not ahead. If she hits r, try to disengage. - play for short trades and all in if her w is down. Lethal tempo changes have made her v oppressive, do not take long fights against her without your own lethal tempo and ferocity available.”
MrZoltannn says “You need to look out for her passived stack fights, so just try to Q her or Q at low health minions. Try to proc W when she walks up to last hit minions.
Use e to jump out from her E stun. lvl 6 fight is all fight dependent, get near megaform, start mini gnar all-in and if she try to all-in at you, you can just turn mega gnar, and ult her to the wall.”
Prof Harambe says “Irelia is the prime example of a champ you can't really deal with. Your e slow is pointless, because she can just use q to move around. Super strong early and outscales you in a 1v1 scenario. Best to just farm under tower and try and outvalue her in teamfights. Since you are playing off meta, you still have a chance of the Irelia underestimating daisy due to a lack of matchup knowledge, but if they know that they can just either wait it out and murder you by dashing away to some minions or killing daisy, threatening to engage onto you if you step up. Then again, you could say that it is an easy matchup because a lot of Irelia players try and force dives for no reason, allowing you to root and e stall until she dies. But seriously a semi-competent Irelia can dominate you all game.”
xPetu says “Tips: Predict her Q jump on low health minions with your E. Dodge her E. Your W blocks her Q and Passive on-hit. Don't walk through her R-blades if possible.”
Stinkee says “Most Irelia players are not good enough to pull her off to her full potential. A very good Irelia can easily destroy you in lane but this is very rare in low-mid elos. She is going to be annoying, dashing all over the place and healing. If she misses her E or R you should win the fight. If her W is up she will use it to tank your Q, if you see her standing still with W while your Q is channeling charge it all the way. She will be cc'd for a while which will let you win the trade even though she blocked most of your Q damage. The best way to deal with an Irelia is to freeze the wave under your tower, this way she will be unable to CS or Q your minions without walking far up and being vulnerable to ganks, she will not be able to dash to any minions to escape because they are in front of her. A simple trick that can work against many Irelia players is to pay attention to the health of your minions, she is going to try to dash to the low health minions. You can charge your Q on your own low health minions forcing her to either get the minon(s) but get hit by your Q or she will miss the minion(s). I would recommend taking Grasp or Glacial Augment against Irelia and rushing Bramble Vest and Plated Steelcaps.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Maxing (Q) is your best bet, however, late game this becomes less effective simply due to her gap close chase and lock downs which tends to be impossible to avoid. Try your best to close out the game before late game arrives. She is a monster later in the game. Early game it's all about avoiding her stun and staying away from low HP minions so she can not dash through them to you with a stun. Your first item is mandatory to purchase Oblivion Orb, otherwise she will simply heal back to full on a full wave rotation. If you get hit by her (R) don't touch the blades. Flash / sidestep her ultimate. If you get stunned she will win every trade so it's pretty much dodge or die.”
Anoying bro5 says “Abuse her early game when she does not have her passive stacks from Qing minions. You want to parry her E stun as it is very obvious and if you land this lvl 2 you auto win. Be careful of her dodging your riposte by Qing to a minion or behind you. After lvl 6 if you dont riposte the stun, you can riposte her ult, or the q after her ult to negate her resetting Q. ”
Thing in the Ice says “Irelia has so many options to close the gap against you. The key here is to keep an eye on your minions that are low on health. Irelia’s Q will reset if she kills a minion with it. You absolutely have to dodge her E because it applies her mark on you. Overall, you want Irelia to push in this matchup as much as possible. Keep your minion wave close to your tower and ask for ganks.”
lol Wero says “Even with the Range advantage Neeko has over Irelia; She can still all in with her E (the stun) to kill you easily in lane pre 6. Her ultimate just makes it worse, i recommend rushing ninja tabi vs Irelia. The lane is still winnable as Neeko, Just make sure you can dodge the stun and keep your distance.”
BoilTheOil says “If she tries to dash around like a bug put her in her place with E and knock her out. Don't let her get 4 stacks. If you freeze the wave close to your tower she can't really do anything about it. This character does waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much damage for no reason, so don't use W without full grit, she will probably kill you at least once in lane while you blink.”
King Turtle says “Irelia with stacks has more than enough power to beat you in early trades, and she can out sustain you until you get Riftmaker. Add on that many Irelia players rush Blade Of The Ruined King, and lane phase becomes a more skill dependant situation. ”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Irelia's lane phase is extremely overpowered making her one of the hardest champions to deal with in lane. She has way too many dashes that do not cost mana, her damage is way too high, her stun can be over 1000 range, and her abuse of corrupting pot and time warp tonic makes her hard to kill. Play extremely carefully the entire lane and do not force any trades with her without your jungler or away from your tower.
Post 6 this lane becomes almost unplayable as her ult is also broken and counters your ult. Bramble vest is mandatory though she can quickly heal to full from minions.
What keeps this matchup from being a 5 is that her teamfights are garbage and a single hook can shut her down entirely. It also helps that anathemas and frozen heart counter her entire kit.”
quinn adc says “First, I have tried every keystone imaginable, and I can confirm with my experience against high elo irelias that Phase Rush is 100% the best option atm.
The question remains: why Phase Rush? Well, Irelia only has the advantage over Quinn post Level 6 because her ultimate slows for 90% for 1.5 seconds, AND it allows her to get a reset on her Q.
This means that the slow allows irelia to dash onto you for a reset, and secure land her E on you for another reset on her Q for a total of 3 dashes onto you.
Now, phase rush works wonders because when Irelia ults you, instantly proc your phase rush, and the slow resistance allows you to now be slowed much by her R, and grants you MS to run away.
First, pre level 6 laning phase is heavily quinn favoured.
Play aggressive, and save vault to dodge irelia E OR vault away from irelia if she lands E on you.
Even if she stuns you with E and gets a Q reset, if her E stuns you and she Qs on you, vault away with auto-e-auto, and then if she dashes again, your phase rush + w max allows you to out run her with ease after.
Her E range is 775, but it's easy to tell when she wants to use it because she'll put the first mark of her E down before she engages.
It's quite easy to dodge with W max! Her Q range is 600, which is 75 more than our auto range, so keep that in mind! Also, our E does not reset her Q if we are marked, BUT if you vault irelia before she Qs a minion, Her Q will go on cooldown lol.
Do not try this at home though because her Q is so so fast, and this requires smurf-like prediction timing.
IMPORTANT: If you blind irelia, she CANNOT Q you if you are outside of nearsight.
Use this to your advantage in laning phase, and also when she tries to all-in you post 6.
NOW, irelia is level 6 and you're scared.
When irelia dashes onto you, her character goes slightly behind you, so it's hard to land Q on her after she dashes towards you.
The best thing to do is to predict her engage.
Irelia wants to dash on a minion likely before ulting you, so anticipate this.
When she ults you, she will follow with Q 99% of the time, so retaliate with your Q when she ults.
Now, irelia will Q onto you, and you then vault instantly.
You will proc phase rush AND irelia is blinded, so now you can outrun her, and by the time her nearsight wears off, she is now too far to Q onto you again.
Master this, and Irelia should never be able to full- combo you with her ultimate :)”
Veng Shotz says “Ire's ability to One shot minions with Q all while stacking her stat stick passive will be your bane, your best bet is to either Q minions that she might q onto, or hold onto your e when she tries to all in you and dash out of her stun, You'll have a general hard time against her unless she either hard misplays or you managed to interrupt her dash.
post 6 this lane is almost unbeatable. with the slow on her ult giving her a free stun+ 4 stack passive, you'll lose half your health in 1 second and die the next, quite literally.
If you managed to get a kill early, rush an executioners, as when she loses the ability to spam q heal on minions without just ignoring your q's, she'll either have to win all in's or lose the sustain game.
Always play safe when she has a wave ready to spam Q onto, if she has no stacks she isnt a champion, and you should be able to all in her, just be aware of her ult and flash CD's. ”
Feedaboi says “her passive does a lot of dps when stacked, look for trades when she doesn't have her passive stacks built up, otherwise look to q farm until the stacks run out.”
Phrxshn says “Predict her Flawless Duet(E) and Vanguard's Edge(R). Doing so will make this a easy trade and will prevent her from refreshing her Bladesurge(Q) AKA Dash. If you do get caught by her skillshots do use Mega Adhesive to reduce her damage. (Recommended Items: Rylai's Scepter, Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Mega Adhesive stops Bladesurge) (Fling overrides Bladesurge)”
Amphawn says “This matchup sucks. Dodge worthy. Pay attention to your minions' health so she can't quickly stack up passive stacks and dive you. You don't really ever beat her in lane so just try and freeze close to tower. At level 1 though, you can push lane up so that if she does try and fight you level 2-3 you can back up and fight in your minions, which should give you the upper hand. Always be prepared for her stun, as if she hits you, she gets a bunch of free damage, a passive stack, and gets on you while refreshing her Q cooldown. The stun is pretty predictable, and once you see the first go down, try to get away from it as it gives you more room to dodge while giving Irelia more room for error. If she ults you W, ult yourself, and then run. You don't want her to get the extra damage from you walking out, and she will also dive you immediately, so watch out for her stun, because if you get hit, you're probably dead.”
PH45 says “Pretty free lane for Jax. Dodge her stun blade and be careful of her Q'ing around. Keep track of her passive stacks as her fully stacked passive will deal a lot of damage. ”
SunFalk says “She has a dash. She has a shield. She has a stun. - Irelia is a carry, to play against her, don't feed her in laning phase, if you do, she will scale and snowball hard, try to dodge her Q and be careful for an ult that will make her able to 1v1 you easely.”
iZeal says “Very hard matchup. Fight her when she doesn't have stacks, dodge her E or she gets to dodge your Qs as she jumps behind you. Once she has vamp scepter poking her becomes useless since she heals for a lot of damage. Unlike Fiora she can 100-0 you under tower with 5 stacks and her ultimate.
Banworthy.”
Dream Orbit says “More info on the matchups section. Remember this is only an estimated threat, you can always win any matchup if you're good enough (or if they're bad enough).”
slogdog says “Irelia is a hard matchup early game. She can Q all your ghouls to heal up and to stack up her passive. Your wall is completely useless, as she can Q, and E is very hard to hit, because she can Q everything. And also even if you do hit the E, she'll just eat your ghouls up for breakfast. However, once you get hullbreaker you will be too tanky for her to fight, as Maiden and Q is too much brute damage for her to tank. The secret to winning this matchup is to run ignite, as it cuts down a lot of her power which is in the healing of Q.”
Phrxshn says “Predict her Flawless Duet(E) and Vanguard's Edge(R). Doing so will make this a easy trade and will prevent her from refreshing her Bladesurge(Q) AKA Dash. If you do get caught by her skillshots do use Heart Zapper to reduce her damage. (Recommended Items: Thornmail, Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
Raen says “Use your E carefully cuz she will dance with minions dodging your stun. Your E don't block her Q anymore like it did on old Irelia Q, remember about it. She can outplay you and win if you fight her with minion wave so she can jump on them, also if shes keep an eye on her passive if she's fully stacked try to wait out her passive. Fast Tabi. Executioner for anitheal since she heals a lot. Tabi//Sunderer/Mortal/DD”
Hijitori says “Care of her all-in on lvl 2 with her stacks. Remember that she can dash up to 3 times and that she stops after the dash slightly behind you. Irelia is also hard to punish for csing because she can jump to any minion at any time with her big damage Q, rarely just auto-attacks minions when knows your punish strategy and if you miss "punishing" Q she can also all-in to you with her new stack.”
Xerath gaming says “Skill matchup even tho Irelia is no skills. Stay safe till 6, if she engages you with E then press R and her E is gone so she is free kill basically, aim your Q behind you if you think she will press Q. Take ignite!”
Phrxshn says “Predict her Flawless Duet(E) and Vanguard's Edge(R). Doing so will make this a easy trade and will prevent her from refreshing her Bladesurge(Q) AKA Dash. If you do get caught by her skillshots do use Pillar of Ice and Subjugate to reduce her damage. (Recommended Items: Thornmail, Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
A_Drunk_Carry says “This is who I ALWAYS ban. I've tested this matchup out vs similarly skilled friends who have never played Irelia before and still struggle to go even. Her Q eats your ghouls in one, while also regening her and resetting the Q off execute. You literally make her more powerful and a sustaining machine with insane farm. This is dodge worthy if you don't ban it, tbh.”
MagicallyDelish4 says “You can level one all in her with Doran's blade. If she tried to last hit a minion with Q try to stop it with a trade or a third Q. Use your abilities to dodge her E. She will win extended trades because of her passive so try to freeze the wave. ”
laoshin3v3 says “Conqueror or Klepto
One of the easiest matchups since you can easily stun her with her E and slow her attackspeed she hasn't much more than this in her kit.”
LoLReal says “Irelia doesn't pose much of a threat at all to us. Her level 2 is pretty strong with her passive stacked, but Darius out trades her at all points in the game. Be mindful of her passive and don't overplay into minion damage and you should easily take care of her.”
Justkb says “Early Bramble is your best friend here! Don't fight her when she has her passive stacked!!! make sure you are only fighting her inside her wave as she cannot stack her passive as easily. If you can dodge her E and then you can set up the rest of you engage with an easy Q into AA, W, AA E, AA, and R. It is easy for her to beat you once she gets blade now so wait until you have completed Trinity in order to re-engage her.”
P1Legend says “So yeah, riot thinks this champ is balanced, and that is beyond my comprehension. You never win sustained fights, and by the time you burst her, she will just heal on the next wave. If she hits you with her bind, she will all in you 100% of the time, and you never win that. Look for bursts when the Jungler is nearby and bait her into engaging into an unfavorable 2v1. Note 11.14 she was changed, so we will see how bad this matchup is after a few games vs it - Hi future Tony here, no this matchup is still unplayable”
MythicMike says “Her dashes can be quite troublesome for you and make it hard to hit her, but you can also predict her dashes by using Q on your own minions that are low on hp. At 5 stacks you have to back off since she can just auto you to death. ”
ShadowSlayerMain says “Always try predicting her last-hit target, disengage from her Q or R with your E as it puts her behind you, if she doesn't manage to last hit a minion with Q try to hit your W before all-in-ing, get Steelcaps 1st B, in Late Game you always need Chainsword”
A_Drunk_Carry says “This matchup is a nuisance, but winnable. Irelia is not extremely tanky, and you'll be able to duel her over time. Beware though as Irelia is a havoc in teamfights. Use wither on her and keep her off of your carries. In mid to low elos I think the Nasus will win out most times by mid game.”
Phrxshn says “Predict her Flawless Duet(E) and Vanguard's Edge(R). Doing so will make this a easy trade and will prevent her from refreshing her Bladesurge(Q) AKA Dash. If you do get caught by her skillshots do use Seismic Shard and Ground Slam to reduce her damage. (Recommended Items: Thornmail, Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
Sporkintahn says “DANGEROUS!!! --- This is a skill lane in Darius' favor but Irelia can still beat you easily if you make dumb plays. ---Like you she thrives in extended trades or fights where she can stack up her passive. Her passive stacks off of autos and ability hits to champions and it gives her extra AS and at max stacks an additional flat AS proc along with extra on hit damage. --- She will more than likely zip around lane with her Q that refreshes CD when it kills or hits anything that was recently hit by her stun or ult. This makes her hard to lock down, especially in the middle of a minion wave so be mindful of when you want to go for Q harass as she can just dash away or right into you negating it. --- Dodge her Stun; if you don't you'll probably lose the trade and the all-in. Play around her cooldowns and punish any mistakes she makes.”
Phrxshn says “Predict her Flawless Duet(E) and Vanguard's Edge(R). Doing so will make this a easy trade and will prevent her from refreshing her Bladesurge(Q) AKA Dash. If you do get caught by her skillshots do use Primal Howl to reduce her damage. (Recommended Items: Thornmail, Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
PanthrickTV says “Skill Matchup!
(1) Spam your Q's at lane. (some poke)
(2) Play smart and exploit her mistakes.
(3) Don' t fight when your minions are low!
(4) If she miss her Q on minion go immediately all in she will lose 1v1 without her Q.”
Kacto15 says “campeón roto, 0% counterplay pierdes el 100% de las veces, puedes intentar jugar bajo torre, dejarte pushear, maxearte la W, no hay mas que decir, el campeón está todo mal diseñado, es más tolerable como sion TANQUE, cómprate las botas de armadura”
MythicMike says “Fight when she doesn't have full stacks. Q poke when she does because you can't fight her. You can predict her Q dash on low health minions, which can help landing Q.”
Phrxshn says “Predict her Flawless Duet(E) and Vanguard's Edge(R). Doing so will make this a easy trade and will prevent her from refreshing her Bladesurge(Q) AKA Dash. If you do get caught by her skillshots do use The Show Stopper or Facebreaker to reduce her damage. (Recommended Items: Thornmail, Plated Steelcaps) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Irelia)”
montybucket says “Vs irelia, she basically doesn't have an ultimate as long as you have yours. Thats a big part of her kit thats pretty much nullified by your ultimate since when she uses it on summoners rift and you ult her after she's used it, it doesnt come into the death realm. You beat her in the death realm pretty easily. Be careful though, she can snowball off of just one kill and can ruin a perfectly winnable game if you make a really bad mistake. ”
TroviStyle says “[Conqueror] Dont let her stack her passive You can W her stun and ult to deny any value. Dont let her heal up on your minions. Go for shorter trades, as longer ones can help her turn things arount with Conqueror + lower CD + your minionwaves arriving.”
Wambowama says “You need to watch out for her passive, Q and E. If she has 5 stacks never fight her (idk why this champ is still not nerfed) she will just win. Watchout for her E if it lands you will also die. Somtimes Irelia players will just Q you and stack the passive up, you can get away in Mini Gnar. After lvl 6 kill her in Mega Gnar. Just dont get behind. ”
SaltCat says “You can outplay her, use your r to dodge her r, get q level 1 and fight her before she stacks her passive, let her push to you if she gets wave control, DONT fight when she has her passive”
OTP Toxin says “It's really easy to win a lane against her, she will always charge her passive on minions, so respect that, keep moving to dodge her stun and blind her, you can kill her since Irelia players are always so flustered :D”
LilPaniniUwU says “Maxing (Q) es tu mejor opción y el orbe de Oblivion es obligatorio una vez que adquiere Vamperic / BOTRK, pierdes sin él. Al final del juego (Q), esto se vuelve menos efectivo simplemente debido a su persecución de espacios cerrados y bloqueos que tienden a ser imposibles de evitar. Es una molestia y puede evitarlo construyendo tapas de acero plateadas. Haz tu mejor esfuerzo para cerrar el juego antes de que llegue el juego tardío. Ella es un monstruo más adelante en el juego. Al principio del juego, se trata de evitar su aturdimiento y mantenerse alejado de los súbditos de HP bajos para que no pueda atravesarlos con un aturdimiento. Si te golpea (R), no toques las cuchillas. Destella / esquiva su definitiva. Si te aturdes, ella ganará todos los intercambios, por lo que es prácticamente esquivar o morir.
”
Et Lutum says “Your perma cc as well as your q never let her really chunk you down to zero and it is really easy to find solo kills on her as well. Really easy matchup.”
SilverAvalanche says “You outscale her, but again getting to that part is difficult, she does not even need to hit an ability and she will still win.
Anyway if you can E her E and ult her ult then it is an even lane otherwise you should dodge this matchup. I would recommend locking in Irelia and just spamming R in practice tool so you get used to when you should ult (she does this loop de loop). Also if she flash-> ults you, or hits you from afar and you did not Q away, you are dead meat. ”
duckling213 says “This match up seems easy enough all we have to do is side step the stun thing and then just respect her max passive stacks. Also watchout for ult, she does big pp damage if she gets you with it.
EDIT: After playing some more irelias they are more of a threat than I thought, we need a gank early when we have advantage to get ahead. If you can secure a lead though this lane is very easy.
EDIT AGAIN: After playing another aids match against this stupid champion I have realised if the player isnt a vegetable they will be able to roll us after level 1-2 and if we dont get that pressure on at lvl 1 the lane will be lost without help from the jg. The Irelia will freeze you and your jg will probably abandon you to starve and there will be nothing you can do. So do your best to get a kill lvl 1 and beg your jg to come help you till you have a decent lead. Good luck you will need it.”
kisool says “Irelia pode utilizar o Surto da Lâmina (Q) nos Andarilhos de Yorick e stackar a passiva rapidamente, dificultando as trocas. Faça Corta Cura e jogue recuado, quando ela errar o Surto da Lâmina (Q) puna-a.”
pokeyminch5236 says “Believe it or not, Irelia is not much trouble for Skarner. I actually love going up against them because it's so much fun fighting them. The best way to beat her is to dodge her stun, if you can predict her stun that drops huge damage because she can't Q you for free and build the passive”
InYourWayToHELL says “You can kill her before her first item.
Go for short trades.
She is the squishiest from the bunch so i alaways rush dirk.
Flash her Ultimate or dodge her stun
If dismounted flash her stun.
Irelia's kit is all about wave state. Slow push and zone her off creeps level 1.”
MCSwavest says “Irelia is Irelia, and there's no getting around that. You have to wait for her to whiff E to go in, otherwise stay far far away. If you think you're far away enough, stay back farther. She will tower dive you level 3 if you don't respect her.”
Drake6401 says “Very mobile and has the advantage in early fights. She wants to fight extended trades and will hard push her lane to open an engage. Dodge her stun with your dash in combat to avoid getting marked. Stay away from minions when trying to escape trades unless you are using them for your E. She can get infinite dashes if she kills her target with Q. Her W block is the counter to your W. You have to outplay it in order to win because Irelia is a stronger champion if all abilities land. You have to dodge two of hers and land all of yours.
”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - SKILL MATCHUP IN YOUR FAVOUR. DODGE HER STUN. DON’T FIGHT HER WHEN HER PASSIVE IS STACKED. DON’T FIGHT HER NEAR TOO MANY FRIENDLY MINIONS. TRY TO LAND YOUR Q. CONQUEROR IS A MUST. STEELCAP + BRAMBLE COMBO IS GREAT VS HER
Irelia is not too difficult of a matchup. She cannot quite stand up to you in lane in all ins and, unless she takes ignite, the lane should be yours to take over. This is a very snowbally lane so try not to die to her. And if you do, try not to die any more, because Irelia can be a teamfighting monster who can obliterate your backline. When fighting her, there are 2 things you should try to be mindful of. The biggest thing is Irelia’s passive. Try to make sure not to fight her when she has it stacked up fully OR when she has the means to stack it up VERY quickly (basically, a bunch of low health minions for her to Q between). The second thing that is even more important is dodging her stun. If Irelia has her passive AND she lands her stun on you, there is nothing you can do to prevent death. If only ONE of those things is true (basically she lands her stun but starts from no passive stacks OR she has her stacks but missed her stun) then the winner of the fight will be the better player. It is worth it to flash her stun at times but ghost will allow you to dodge it easily. Try to understand what an Irelia is going to go for. If you have a low hp minion near you, and Irelia walks in range, you can prime your E to cancel her Q. This is INCREDIBLY difficult and you need to actually play Irelia as well as Darius in order to do this consistently but If you manage to cancel her Q, you basically insta win the fight. Conqueror is a MUST against Irelia, as you need to out fight her. Don’t just stand next to her and let her auto you, as she has more DPS than you thanks to her passive. Kite her, going in to AA and use your abilities. Try to make sure you land your Qs on her, as it will be very tricky when she has her Q up. One trick to do this is E and then immediately go for the Q. You should have enough time to land your Q on her before she can get in a position to avoid it. Because Irelia's rush BORK, it is an insanely good idea to go Steelcaps + Bramble.”
RivalOCE says “With botrk buffs I think this matchup is more Irelia favored. Riven can get outplayed pretty easily now and Irelia's first spike is a lot cheaper than it used to be. Aggress level 1 if she started E but be careful to not overtrade, if she gets her passive up she hard wins. Use your E to dodge her E.”
The Rock Titan says “"[Grasp w/ Bone Plating, Doran's shield, E > W] - Start E lvl1 is good, so she can't auto you down
- She can get you chunked at like lvl1 and stay far away from her when she's about to hit 2 when you're still lvl1
- After that, she's just not a threat until she gets her first item.
- Once you get bramble and a health crystal, start bullying her!
- Dodge her stun, it's really easy to dodge because you have extra movement speed with your Q
- She's gonna get the push on you (and that's good) because she wants to build up her passive stacks."”
Amvill says “You deal no damage to her since she can out heal, out push, and out duel your, all with just her Q. Her ult can stop you entirely, and her passive shreds you to bits. Your only saving grace is that she is easy to make mistakes as so you can punish her for making them.
Wit's end enjoyer”
The Real Fake says “Irelia wants to stick onto you and fight you, which is great as it allows you ramp up your Q and conqueror. Once you do ,you outdamage her significantly. As you get lower, Last Stand increases your damage. Also once you get to around half hp, if you have everything stacked up, you can activate W for huge healing during the fight. Only time she may be able to kill you is if she lands everything, and stacked up her passive beforehand while you have nothing stacked. If you dodge her E, you should never lose a fight against her. Dodging is relatively easy due to your constant movement speed buffs (E, phage passive, time warp tonic). You should be stronger than Irelia most of the game until very late.”
Kampsycho says “Irelia's Q like counts as an auo attack, so it one shots Ghouls/Pets, stacking up her passive, so you auto lose.
Perma ban her, Don't bother unless you're in a REALLY LOW ELO.”
sock217 says “Possible to lose to her but you probably wont. Bramble isnt necessary but it certainly shuts her down. Buy bramble if you are not confident. ”
Rhoku says “Irelia is kinda like Darius. If she is stacking her passive up, you mostly want to stay away from her. If she has no stacks OR no way to quickly get her stacks, you win the fight. IF she has full stacks OR has a bunch of low hp minions to Q off of to instantly get her passive, then just back off. Just get as far away from the wave as possible while remaining in XP range. Her dps with passive is too much for you to handle. Try to dodge her stun thing as if she lands it, she will win the trade and/or the all in. Her sustain is also a lot better than you so keep an eye out for that. On the bright side, once you hit level 6, she is free food. Just R her and murder her. She will have no minions to stack her passive off of and you will be WAY stronger. Just make sure to be mindful of the fact that her Q always lands her BEHIND you. Dodging her stun makes it cleaner and stops her from outplaying you and getting away so try not to get hit by it.”
maxlid3 says “She is really strong in every stage of the game. You can only poke her early level 1-2. If she hits her stun and has 5 stacks she is basically unkillable. After level 6 she can engage even easier. She can also dodge your W really easy. Keep your distance and buy antiheal.”
YasTilt says “You block her E with your W. Deny her Q reset by Blocking her R. Take Anti-Heal Early so she can't Spam Q and Heal. Play safe, respect her character.”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “(Bone Plating+Armor+DBlade) Get Steelcaps early. Bramble if behind. You win after lvl 9. When Irelia marks you, don't E, until she Q's you twice. If Irelia starts Q, punish with E.”
PK Noob says “Irelia is one of the best duelists in the game and she can beat you if you don't play the fight correctly. Dodge her stun (E) and try to bait her W so she can't tank your Q damage.”
jmp_01_ says “Take Conqueror. Definetly rush Bramble Vest and Blade of the Ruined King. Try to E her while she dashes and punch her as much as you can. Don't blow your grit - just use it when she is stunned. Try to freeze the wave under your turret - she won't be able to do much about it and avoid fighting her when she has a full-stacked passive.”
FantasysAhlong says “A very tricky matchup, you have to manage your waves well and not get solo killed or frozen on before getting bamis and bramble to win this matchup.”
lulw says “She is a very strong duelist with her non stop buffs. You can dash her stun and you can trade very well into her. If she q's to a minion near you auto q her. Try to windwall her r at 6. You can windwall her E. If you int your lane once its over this champ is so broken. (Also if your fighting Ghuchi on irelia dont worry lol.)”
GarenteedDamage says “Irelia stacks her (Q) extremely quickly on Yorick's ghouls. She can be very challenging to play into. I suggest trying to stand over your ghouls when you try to fight her. If she messes up on one (Q) she is screwed.”
Avelon6698 says “She's broken atm. If she were closer to balanced, just need to dodge her e and always q behind you when she q's. Also never fight her early if she has all 4 stacks of passive.”
Vulkan Heastan says “She dashes. End of story. Always ban.
Other than that you have to feel out the enemy. Mobility is always hard to heal with but can be counterd with well timed cc.”
Psychopathic Top says “Irelia flourishes off her passive stacking. This is what differs from good and bad Irelia players. A 5 stack passive Irelia will just nuke you in terms of damage, so do not engage if her passive is gouged. In the early game, level 2 should be well respected. Level 2, Irelia gains access to her E, and if she hits it and stuns you, your basically ded. It does an insane amount of damage with double Q dash + full passive, Nasus will likely be 100-0ed. Keep your distance level 2 and let her shove in. Post level 6 and sheen, just make sure her passive falls off before engaging. At this point, with around 100 stacks, you should have more damage than her, but that does not mean you can disrespect the passive damage. She can also kite you by dashing on minions, so make sure she fully engages or steps up too far before all in. Do note that vs super good irelias (from the ones ive faced- tenacity/generalsniper) there's basically nothing to do as the wave will be frozen on if they play it properly, since this matchup requires the Nasus player to be better than the Irelia, but that's not possible in challenger, in a situation where both players play almost perfectly, therefore even, therefore Irelia wins. ”
DippyDan says “Play aggressive and bully her early, forcing her to think twice before stacking her passive. Punish her whenever you can and it should be an easy lane. Riposte completely counters her so make sure it lands. TIPS: [1] Short trade when he doesn't have passive stacks [2] Parry her stun or ult. [3] Stay near your dying minions to prevent stacks.”
Gospodin Bure says “Carefully poke as she can all in you at any moment and pretty much 100-0 you. Irelia also blows up quite quickly and her W is useless against your true damage, definetely solokillable until she gets BoRK, after that dont even go near her.”
Hecki says “You definetly thought that Fiora would be up here, right? Well in that case i have to dissappoint you because Irelia rightfully deserves her own place in the [EXTREME]-Tier. If you didn't ban her because you like beeing bullied then expect an almost impossible laning phase. Any Irelia with hands will try to freeze so that you overextend and she can easily jump on you and auto attack you to death. Almost every Irelia player I've encountered tried to all-in me as soon as I appeared for a fraction of a second on their screen. So if you decide not to ban her here are some tipps of surviving that creature. Get either Executioner's Calling or Bramble Vest first item + Plated Steelcaps. Let her push the wave so that you can freeze in front of your tower and ONLY trade when you are near your tower. ”
IvernLover74856 says “She wants to lvl 2 cheese you with her E stun and stacked passive. Last-hit first wave, let it push to your tower, then cheese her instead level 2 with your E combo.”
fishybearo says “Renekton had been known as an Irelia counter for a while now, and I can agree with that to a certain extent. In this matchup I often take Ignite to reduce the Irelia's early healing, then rush Bramble Vest to create 1 v 1 kill pressure in lane. Renekton excels if he can shut down Irelia's snowball by dominating her in lane. The new Irelia changes made her much more of a nuisance because she has to hit less of her skills to get full stacks, but Renekton can often times use the same strategy as before to take her down and deny her outplay potential.”
Rocking Masterock says “Extremely strong at low levels, but falls off a bit once you get Bramble Vest and Plated Steelcaps, make sure to not get caught when her passive if full stacked, do short trades. ”
Yumi Project says “Irelia is a broken monster came out from hell to destroy bruiser. Dont extend to much trade and rush antiheal because is first back will be of course vamp. You can avoid her stun with your W. DONT ENGAGE WHEN SHE HAVE 5 STACK!”
bobokoks says “I ban her, maybe I'm just bad, but the pressure from her now 4 stack passive is too much. The only way to land your W is to stun her first with E.”
Unmasked Kayle says “[Standard runes, bone plating] Watch her passive stacks, don't ever let her jump on you with stacked passive. Dodge her stun. Do not walk through her R blades. If she freezes you can't get close to the wave or she just kills you. Go steal exp midlane or ask for jungler help. You outscale if you manage to not fall too behind in experience.”
IAmStryker says “Startign items:
-the bible
-cloth armor + 4 pots
Build:
-Anti-Burst
Lane:
Stronger than you at any stage of the game. Is worth the 30min ban from dodging lol”
Kune ML says “Skill matchup , avoid extend trade , dodge her E , flashes when she ult . For her i still bring Exhaust due to her passive even thought this is a 50-50”
BCKTHUNDR says “SH*T ON HER LES GOOOOOOO
beware of her when she has full passive stacks she hurts.
generally dont be too aggro when there are lots of low health minions on your side as she can just dash to all of them, get her passive instantly, and then somehow beat you.
You beat her when she doesn't have her passive though.
Late game irelia can be really scary so try to close out the game early on by getting objectives when you kill her in lane (roam down to mid to help, push the outer turret, get herald, etc.)”
Alan234 says “Go the standard PTA build, but put 5 points into Q early (not optimal but easiest to play)
However because the matchup is GIGA snowbally. I recommend grasp+domination. I further recommend putting atleast 3 points into Q as most of her Damage is auto attack based. You will run into mana issues with this build, which is why I recommend a lost chapter Item early, usually Liandries because Irelia goes Goredrinker nowadays. Its a real skill matchup that tests how good your movement and poking is, which is why I enjoy the lane (however when I lose I'm sad) If you die lvl 4ish she will freeze the lane and you will be sad, so dont die. Be mindful of her preparing minions to dash for to engage on you. Dodging e is very important, as its a major source of her dmg. Lvl 6 a lot of irelias want to all in so either flash it or call your jgl. Lvl 7-11 you win all ins with ignite and even later on you outscale her in value in teamfights”
TXK_ says “A strong duelist who snowballs incredibly well, has sustain and does mixed damage. Avoid fights when she's approaching her 5 stack passive or if your wave has low hp for Irelia to Q to. Ulting limits her mobility by stripping waves away from the fight. Irelia's eventual Blade of the Ruined King makes her very 'sticky' and long trades are not desirable.”
aurus666lol says “You can escape from her E by ur E, but she has strong all- ins. Try to not give her free mark for resets on Q. She can easly kill you at lvl 1 so remember that and take Q for blind or W for movement speed, your choice.”
JaxIsAHobo says “A pretty easy matchup, most lower rank Irelia's struggle vs Jax. Your entire lane depends on basically dodging her stuns, and not fighting her when she is fully stacked on her passive. Fairly simply lane.
In higher ranks, it becomes more about becoming observant of her passive stacks, and calculating her Q execute range on minions. Avoid engaging on her right before level 6, as she can near instantly clear a wave if it comes to it if she plays correctly and then surprise you.”
MrShykun says “MATCHUP SKILLED EN VOTRE FAVEUR. ESQUIVEZ SON E A TOUT PRIT. NE L'AFFRONTEZ PAS SI SON PASSIF EST STACK. NE LA FIGHTEZ PAS DANS UNE GROSS VAGUE DE MINIONS ALLIES ET ESSAYEZ DE TOUCHER VOS Q. SI VOUS AVEZ DU MAL TABIS + ARMURE RONCIERE SONT BIEN CONTRE ELLE. Irelia n'est pas un matchup compliqué. Elle ne peut pas rester a votre corp a corp elle va essayer de kite sauf si elle prend ignite la lane devrait être a votre avantage. Cette lane snowball énormément donc essayez de ne pas mourir face a elle. Quand vous l'affrontez pensez a deux points important en permanence 1)son passif 2)esquivez son stun (le E) si elle a son passif de stack et vous touche avec le E vous êtes probablement mort. Essayez de la kite car elle a plus de dps que vous essayez de toucher vos Q un petit tips car si vous utilisez votre Q elle va Q pour être a votre corp a corp dans ce cas faite plutôt E+Q instantanément elle ne pourra pas dodge. Irelia va surement rush botrk donc n'hésitez pas a prendre de l'anti heal et des tabis.”
Iczere says “Can easily close the gap on you and deal a lot of damage. If she is attacking you, blind and kite her, while making sure to dodge her E or R, because if you get hit by one of the two, you're dead.”
SemPelo says “A mostly skill matchup. If she is going for blade of the ruined king first item(if she buys Vampiric Scepter) buy antiheal.
Be aware that she can Q through minions to get close to you.”
powervang says “If she hits you with her "e" you're done for unless you use your "e" to get out for a bit but you're gonna need the life steal early game to go against her.”
Prezibogen says “Skill Matchup.
Don't get caught Level 2 by her jumping to you.
Don't get engaged when she has 3 or 4 Stacks on her passive, increasing her attack speed.
Rush first bramble against her healing and then steelcaps against her auto attack damage.”
SmollJon4s says “Skill matchup. You can E all her damage away. Do not let her roam at any time of the game as she will feed herself on your botlane making her snowball out of control. Ignite recommended to decrease her heal from her Q.”
Shourdy says “This is perma-ban champ, play safe and beg your jungler to help you. Lv1 u slow push the first waves and crash the 3 waves undertower, back get a longsword and freeze if possible. If u didn't get prio, Lv2 she will try to E or Q-E u so dodge with ur E or sidestep. Lv3 onward play safe and beg for your jungler.
Don't poke she out heals ur poke after vampiric specter and rush Steelcaps and bramble. U can Q backwards to predict her Q and use 3rd Q to run so if she tries to go in u can trade back.”
Vandenelis says “don't fight her when she has full stacks. when she gets her vampiric scepter she can heal from no hp to full hp in one to two waves. she is stronger than you early game but you can win against her at level 6. after getting one item you are stronger than her (unless she rushes botrk) then you need to wait until level 11.”
Bombabo says “WATCH OUT FOR HER LEVEL 2 ALL-IN! Her insane mobility alone makes this a hard matchup, as she can play around almost any playstyle. If she is stupid and just stays right on top of you, you can shred her. Smart players will capitalize on your positioning with their E or R”
DarkyTheReal says “I would say it's a skill matchup, depends on the wave, If the wave is pushing towards her, you win the trades and all in, If the wave is pushing towards you, you lose the trades, because she has minion advantage and can one shot your minions to stack passive.”
Lupus_ToplaneMain says “parry her e, then its easy to fight (but not to kill) her. if you miss your w, go away. If shes on 4 stacks (under her HP bar), dont fight, except she hits it mid-fight.”
apkibum says “IRELIA. HEALS. She heals for days! The same with Dr. Mundo, she does high damage and has good range + a stun and will outheal your damage even with grevious. She is a good perma ban option for the lane. ”
SettVEVO says “Easy matchup as long as you hit your abilities. You do much more damage for half of the effort she needs to do hers. You win level 1. You can ult before her E stun lands to deny it. Mid to late game if she splitpushes you can win it if you have BORK and land your abilities.”
Rodos says “Im adding Irelia to the minor scale. I wouldnt add her at all but i have seen some people banning her when they play illaoi. Fiora its not a such difficult enemy. Just wait until you hit 3 level. When playing illaoi you will play near and around your passive/tentacles. So at 3 level she has not big possibilities to beat you. Especially if you select to play with ignite it will be more succesfull against her. ”
Byku2506 says “Irelia after few patches for Warriors is more broken than earlier so you have to freeze lane after 3 lvl and try to avoid fight under your tower. Or snipe her while she is trying to stack under her tower to kill her (while dashing to minions).”
SleepyFawn says “Irelia has hyper mobility making it difficult to land your skills on her and can lock you down with her ult and stun.
Additionally, she has a lot of sustain in lane to shrug off your poke damage.
Worth a ban.”
Spiderfork says “Try to stay near walls once she hits 6. Be weary of mini Gnar's E bounce when she ults. She essentially can dash to you twice if she nails you with her ult or stun. ”
RTO says “She is going to place her stun down and try to avoid it or she will get 2 q dashes on you. Also do not use your abilities if she has her damage reduction. Save it till right after it ends. ”
Fryx says “A good Irelia will make use of your low mobility and go for aggressive plays. Keep it cool early she will try to kill you. You will have the upper hand later if you both get to the wave at the same time since she will want to stack her passive first. Make use of that to harass her and get away after that. You will eventually see openings to punish her. Good Irelias will make it hard for you, it is all about skill this lane.
Take Grasp here and Max E!”
wff010 says “After the rework, the matchup SHOULD still be easy with a few caveats. If she DOES manage to get a lead, you are pretty doomed. However, you should do your best to keep her as functional as a cannon minion. At the beginning of lane, deny her cs and make sure to punish her everytime she tries. Save your E W or else she'll dodge your W. As long as she has no stacks, you should hard win.”
RTO says “Watch out for her dash on low health minions, try to deny CS, freeze your wave and out trade her. She's very mobile, and scales well late. Build armor, shut her down early.”
LoLReal says “Irelia isn't a hard lane. Be careful levels 1 & 2 where she is pretty strong, and be mindful of her fully stacked passive. Other than that we win trades at all points. Build tabi and destroy her post 6 with R. ”
hactori111 says “ Don't try fight her or try get farm before lv 2 and don't lost HP. Lost 20 cs still good. When you have Bramble vest + lv 6: solo kill her easy.”
jussup says “Try beating her early, freeze the wave and wait for her to Q, after that you can flip her under your tower and she will probably be dead.”
SanLourdes says “Irelia can easily burst you down in extended fights. Her E can reset your Q, and she has infinite dashes as long as she can kill the target. Much like Yasuo, don't fight her when there are minions around. Try and bait out her E before you use your Q. Her early game power was nerfed, but she still remains strong, especially once she scales. Thornmail and Plated Steelcaps are very important in this matchup.”
CucumberSandwich says “Similar to Riven, this matchup depends mainly on the skill of the enemy. If Irelia lands her stun with full Q stacks, you are probably dead. Her Q also allows her to dodge your Q. However most Irelia's are average at best, making the matchup winnable she messes up. Dodging her E will usually allow you to win the trade. ”
Viego99 says “after mini rework easy for early game if she use q use your q aa to poke him dodge her e with sidestep or w . use your flash to dodge r .you outscale him but she have a better mid game if you not ahead. yourteam fight is better .”
calbino says “Making a mistake against a good Irelia is basically a death sentence. Her high sustain in lane, great dueling in the early/mid game makes her a big threat.”
RareParrot says “skill matchup, dodge E if not back off, shroom minion waves when she tries to life steal and dont fight when she has max passive stacks.”
Jaori says “If she tries to stack her passive at level 1, attack her. If she tries to fight, it means that she's already dead. Always use your ult while standing in the range of king's domain - it boosts your healing up by 25%.”
ForgottenProject says “This is a fun Match-up. She has a stun that easy to predict and parry and she can be harassed easily.
You beat her in lane hard.
[1]Whenever she Qs onto a minion near you, you Q her for free damage.
[2]Dont be scared to trade with her as long as you can proc vitals. [3]Parry her E it's super obvious. [4]Dont Fight her when she has her Passive & Conqueror stacked.”
ForgottenProject says “Use your W to dodge her E or R.
Your W gives high Armor and Magic Resist which hurts ireila because her passive is mixed damage.”
epic blitz top says “If you snowball this matchup, she is doomed. Bramble/Thornmail is very good vs Irelia. Look for hooks as she is using Q on minions.”
dissociate says “I will revisit this matchup as soon as possible, as I had a lot of unfortunate circumstances my first match against an Irelia.
Dropping a W on yourself can help deter him from jumping on you with her E as it's a free stun, but Irelia snowballs very hard if she gets a lead in general, so always play the lane safe unless you get first blood.
Rush Bramble Vest into Bami's Cinder, and use the regular buiild.”
turtlehamstercroc says “Look for long trades level 1 to get her low, then use w and e to run her down level 2 and hopefully kill her, if you don't get a lead really early on then laning phase will be tough”
KarmaChamelion says “She'll beat you very early on but once you get bramble this is the freest lane ever. BORK can be annoying but even then you should usually win as long as you have bramble.”
SavagePridestalker says “Tank Rengar is really strong into Irelia, he can tank up most of her damage and survives her strongest part (early game) pretty well. Once you get a few items each, she'll fall off, because she isn't a good mid-late game champion.”
a1a7s45 says “Gnar gets countered by Irelia but you can at least make the wave push to you and create an opening for your jungler if she overstays. Once she hits full build you're at a loss. Just farm until mid to late game.”
NxMate says “Keep your distance and poke her down. If you can hit your E she is most likely dead or will go back. Don't let her engage you and if she does just try to fake her with w and run to the Tower.”
oogoogerson says “Irelia is a really strong attack damage 1v1 duelist. Avoid trading with Irelia when she is at full stacks. She can easily kill you with her ultimate at full stacks. Wait until her stacks fall off and then go in to zone her from CS. Take Ignite for her healing or teleport if you think she will beat you.”
Safolet says “This is the confrontation that I hate the most as Gnar, because it is practically impossible to win the line if Irelia plays well, because she has everything to counter Gnar, Irelia's E can be dodged with Gnar's own E, but the passive Irelia's is amazing to counter because it's easy for her to get close to Gnar while in mini form, since she has the R that can be used after or before the E so that Gnar can no longer escape, and Irelia's Q can be great because it can be reset on minions as it gets closer to taking down Gnar. Also, Irelia has her W, which reduces the physical damage of enemies aimed at her, and Gnar is physical damage. The way to counteract Irelia a bit being Gnar, is to play full under tower so that your jungler can help you and thus kill Irelia, but remember that if they try to kill her while you are miniGnar, she may kill them both for a little that Gnar resists without his Mega form.”
El Cucaracha says “Một con đĩ khốn nạn thiệt sự, nhốt nó vào lồng ư ?, nó Q ra. Thả pet ra cắn nó ư ?, nó Q chết mẹ tụi pet và tích Q nhanh hơn. Con này là phải ban khi chơi yorick, 100% cần phải ban, còn lỡ không ban nó, thì tất cả những gì các chị làm được đó là biến cái toplane thành máy farm cho con đĩ này thôi”
Waros037 says “riposte her stuns watch out of wings she throw , if you fight near minons try to go back some , if she use her ult don't run , fight , but carefull”
laoshin3v3 says “She can 1 hit ur shield when her passiv is stacked, try to fight before she manages to stack her passiv, even if u dodge the stun she wins most all ins”
AlanVenator says “Do not get fooled by her winrate. Can make your life impossible if she gets ahead. Try to punish her mistakes and trade when she doesn't have the passive. Remeber that her Q puts her behind you, so you can land your E easily if you time it well.”
SethPRG says “If they get 5 stacks, you will probably lose. If they can dash to minions to escape an all-in and heal, you will probably lose. If they ult you into an E stun, you will probably lose. Wave management is key in this fight, but I can't really teach you that in a matchup guide too well, so the best I can say for that in a short sentence is watch the caster minions, make sure Irelia can't burst them all in a Q chain. You can either freeze or stack a massive wave to slow push, she can't really walk up to fight you without having passive stacks. You quite literally win the AA competition. Trinity is the best here just for the overall damage, kill them before they can do anything. I'd suggest bush cheesing level 1, and prioritize dodging their E pre 6. If you can do this, even with 5 stacks, you have a decent chance at beating them, just don't try to run away, AA while side stepping back. You'll be surprised at your damage. If you ever get cornered in this matchup, just try to fight if you know you can't escape. That is probably the biggest mistake people make in this matchup, underestimating their damage. Anyways, past level 6 you can use your ult to not be affected by their E stun or ult slow, or to interrupt one of their Q dashes. In team-fights whenever they try to dash to your team or ult them, it's best to ult them away in response. Rushing Bramble is a must, Plated Steelcaps after if you're having a rough time, otherwise rush into Trinity Components starting with Sheen. They farm a lot easier than you though, so don't be surprised if they have a lead in gold, this champ is a natural CSer. ”
SpartanDumpster says “Any decent Irelia can hard stomp you, especially if they know how well they match up against Gnar. From my Experience, AP builds make difficult champs slightly easier to manage, though your build is no reason to let your guard down!”
joelspaho121 says “Skill matchup but slightly irelia favored.
D Blade start with sorc tree.
Bramble tabi rush mandatory.
The key to this matchup is to find the appropriate times to fight her and the best example would be to only fight her at 0 stacks and while her q is on cd so always save your E and use it while shes mid dash.On patch 11.14 her travel time on Q will be reduced significantly which makes timing its cancelling with E relatively easy.If you manage to do this successfully shes 100000% dead. Only look to fight her when there are no low health allied minions nearby because she can easily get some health back and get her stacks up to kill you. Also be aware that she can lower your damage because of her W. Good Irelia players are also going to dash inside of your Q when you first cast it so be really cautious. This matchup requires intense focus and has absolutely no room for mistakes because 1 death can turn the lane into a nightmare for you. Freezing is your best shot because not only do you deny her the ability to stack but you also kill her if she ever walks up for a last hit by popping ghost and since theres no allied minions on her way back to the tower she cant dash anywhere and get stacks which means she dies so ALWAYS freeze the first chance you get.”
El Leon Gnar says “Luckily Irelia is not meta, but when she is in meta I ban her over Cam. She'll have kill pressure on you until mid/late game, like v.s. Cam your best bet is to just give up some cs and farm far away.”
Lucas9000 says “You win level 1 here, just zone her out so she cant stack up her passive. Irelia has a high skill floor, so 1 misplay can cost her the lane, but on the other hand the skilled irelia player will teleport in on minions to dogde your abilites. Should be an easy matchup for Fiora.”
Solanne says “Irelia is another threat, mainly just because she's a strong champ. She can also dodge your abilities, so take care. She's not as high as Vayne as if you can predict her movement and land your E's, you're good.
Also sometimes you get lucky and get a first-time Irelia so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
DaSticks says “Don't get hit with her E as it gives her a dash reset! Auto attack her when she goes for creeps, If you attack move command her you can target her before or when she is dashing for a creep and automatically auto-attack when she is in range.”
majororange77 says “Full info in Guide.
Once she gets her passive stacks, she wins all ins. Avoid her E and try to avoid her Ultimate, otherwise she gets onto for free.”
Kaizin says “This matchup is pretty easy, you can take Conqueror if it fits better against the enemy team, but Press The Attack will make short work of Irelia. Take short burst trades with E, Q, W. Bramble vest early is very strong as her main damage source is auto attacks. Be careful of her level 1, make sure to watch her passive stacks, it's okay to lose a few minions as long as you're within XP range.”
I am so chill says “A good irelia can setup your minions to dodge your q s and w try to poke her and stay away from your minions so she cant q q q them.Avoid trading with her if she has her passive 5 stack.Use ur e wisely as she will try to use her e to proc 2 q s on you.I recommend you buying grievous wound items early.”
SirGRC says “Worth a Ban: Yes
A good Irelia will just make the game be over before the 15. Try and dodge her stun as it gives her a free Q. Her W will make her take reduced damage and will do some damage if she hits you with it, so be careful. Do not be afraid to build an hourglass. Also, remember it is better to be down 20-30 CS than to be up 2-3 deaths.”
ApollonATH says “Skill matchup in your favor . Dont fight her when she has 5 stacks on passive and dont fight if she dodges your E. After botrk she can 1v1 you . Dodging her E and R with your R is really effective . Anti heal recommended ”
deathwalker7119 says “Probably one the Easiest matchups, pre-6 parry her E and don't walk up when she has 5 stacks, you will just absolutely shit on her if you do these things. Post 6, dodge the E with your Q and parry the R IF possible, otherwise just parry her Q dash into you after her ult, and simply avoid fighting her when shes at 5 stacks.”
Humitaxx says “For any Sett build irelia is an easy match up as long as you know when to use your E and your W, but it's way easier as a tank, since everything the Irelia does to you, it will transform into your weapon, so make the fights as long as possible and then Stun with E and quickly use your charged W true damage, you want to also get some healing reduction, since a good Irelia can outplay you easily and make you waste your builtup grit, make sure to back whenever you have around 800 gold to buy a Bramble Vest, since it's highly necessary later on, to stop her from healing too much in longer trades.”
Nekosett says “One of the easiest matchups you can just beat her at all levels use e w with a stun to ensure your w lands you scale pretty well and will be better in teamfights then her as well its a free laning phase and she still wont be better late then you just dont be behind on too much cs as she is very easy to cs with ”
Excuruseh says “ If you are stunned during Q, you get a reset on it. You have good sustain and can trade decently with E and W. If you can grab a kill this lane should be fine. Get bramble.”
gps1mx says “You outscale her, just play safe from early to mid game so that she doesn't gets ahead, you are a Time bomb and the pressure is on her to defeat you.”
TwoKingzz says “PTA - Max W - Bramble then hp then steelcaps.
Dodge her E she dies every time. When you all in get her to stand on your Dragon circle E”
Womsky says “Scaling set up, dorian blade start, its a free lane if you dont mess up, if she ever starts Q early and goes melee to the wave just beat her ass up if you have fury, the only time u got to respect her is when she hits lvl 3, after 6, if u are even with her she is easily donzo, just watchout for two things, her 5 stacks passive, and the possiblity of her kiting you with your minions, its hard to find good irelleas, over all, easy lane”
tibs2 says “Bramble any% speedrun. You hit the jackpot!!! This match up is so free. Id be a little careful in laning phase if Irelia has 5 passive stacks but if you make it out of laning phase with 0 deaths Irelia will be unable to play mid-late game teamfight due to your w.”
aWhiner says “Irelia has so many options to close the gap against you. The key here is to keep an eye on your minions that are low on health. Irelia’s Q will reset if she kills a minion with it. You absolutely have to dodge her E because it applies her mark on you. Overall, you want Irelia to push in this matchup as much as possible. Keep your minion wave close to your tower and ask for ganks.”
Ponkstronk says “You should win against irelia in most 1v1. Beware of her passive though, If she has 5 stacks, then back away. If she has no stacks, then fight her.”
CertifiedTrundle says “Hero with stun is a big threat for u
Irelia has a semi-predictable stun
Try to avoid her stun then all in her
U can even take exhaust vs her
Exhaust helps u kill her much easy”
Noodles912 says “Freeze all game long. Use W to dodge her R and E. Just keep the wave at your turret at all times. Never fight her with passive. Use Q to stay healthy. If you are pushed up, run if your minions are low. You outscale her. This lane needs a lot of practice.”
kohyss says “Watch out for her stacks, she will have the lead early, but after 6 you have the upper hand. If you dodge her E she will have less space to outplay you. rush bramble+plated caps.”
PiscesPomf says “SKILL MATCH UP IN YOUR FAVOR
Irelia is a skilled champ, and you will have to be alert. Parry her E, it's easy. If you parry it at lvl 2/3, GO IN ! You will destroy her. But care, if she is stacking her passive she will deal a lot of damages. Try to engage her when you succesfully parry a E, then go in and kill her. If her passive is stacked, you should wait before engaging. You can also parry her R if she does not have her E.”
PoppingMoth says “Ok this one really is personal, I get her down to a quarter health then she goes through one whole minion wave and goes back up to full health, doesn't even kill me, the audacity.”
teemodumbstupid says “Like Rengar, she is a lane bully and will beat you early. Do not go E max into Irelia because it is useless against her healing. Rush bramble, and you will win when you have Sheen and Lucidity boots.”
Urgodzilla says “Usually Irelia players are very cocky, let her push you and try to flip her under your tower when she uses her E. Respect her passive (it is stronger than Darius's passive, trust me). Don't feed her early game or you will never recover.”
Laserholic says “Generally these mechanical champions are skill match-ups, however you're likely not versing Faker and can take advantage of missed Stuns by dodging with your E or W. Level 6, keep close watch of Irelia, and be ready to reactively W against her Ult !!”
Oskarl3 says “she can reduce your q damage with her w, stun you out of it, or q out of range. in addition to having a very strong early game. the stridebreaker build will help you lock her down but in general stay away”
Tsundere Tahm says “Espérala en el bush como a Fiora, si le tradeas sin que tenga las cargas de la pasiva es kill gratis, es importante rushear vesta contra ella, luego armase con normalidad.”
jmp_01_ says “Late game monster. Has insane damage output, mobility and a strong 1v1. Make sure you beat her early, but avoid fighting when her passive - Ionian Fervor is stacked. Take Bramble Vest and Plated Steelcaps.”
negoZoma69 says “Let the lane push and try to freeze near your turret. She out trades you hard at all stages of the game, especially AD Neeko. After 6 it becomes similiar to Akali, if she freezes you can't approach the wave and will need jg help/roam. AP Neeko with ignite can oneshot reckless Irelia players that don't build mr though.”
Draconic56 says “Irelia is an easy matchup.She can dash around to minions and dodge your Q's but she still wont stand much of a chance. Just don't fight her when she has full stacks because she WILL chunk you down and possibly kill you. Try to dodge her E.If you get a pull on her Q her before she dashes away. Once you get your ult try to ult after she does so her ult won't be in the death realm if you don't it won't be a problem.You should still be able to kill her easily but if you step on her ult you will be slowed and she will escape.”
Kokob5 says “So long as you don't fight her when she has passive stacked you'll win fights and trades. When she finishes bork you need to respect the power spike even if you're ahead or she'll get a shutdown.”
Hesychia says “She is just too mobile.
Try not to trade with her near your minions or she will have mobility advantage.
Do not try to trade her or all-in her if her passive is active or she will have Attack Speed advantage and kill you.
Try to kill her at "6" level, beware of her because she is a snowball character and can easily dominate your lane.”
Hesychia says “Yea, she is just too Mobile, You need to build some Armor before your Core Items after your first recall. So I recommend buying "Bramble Vest" since it gives you enough armor and Grievous Wound. Dodge her "E" or she'll win the trade. Whenever she tries to take CS with her "Q" use your "E" and punish her. she'll mostly go with short trades with you if she knows how to play against Darius. But if she doesn't you can kill her. Before 6 you have high chance to kill her. And beware that she is a snowball character. So If you die to her 1-2 times and if you don't have any kills (if she has more kills than you/if she has gold difference/level difference), do not trade her. Ask your jungler to gank you. Do not try to trade her near your minions as she will be jus too mobile so you won't even reach her. Also NEVER EVER trade with her if her passive is active, as she will just kill you so easily you won't even make 5 stacks. Whenever she activates her passive, step back and wait her passive to be ended she'll probably push the lane. So you can freeze your lane undertower and make free kill for your jungler.”
R3mI says “irelia is op vs aatrox because she can q but if you dodge her e she is weak and if she try to q you she don't deal too much damage and you can kill her but be careful at her ult ”
Docoda says “Very easy matchup. Let her push at lvl 1 because she will try to all-in you with her Q hops on minions. After reachinglevel 3 you can start cutting her down.”
SleeplessX says “She runs you down with autos if her passive is fully stacked so respect that. She is decently squishy but has strong sustain. Dodge E!”
Spacix6 says “Irelia can be really strong but Illaoi's sustain and all in potential are higher than Irelia, so if she all in you just E and go for the full combo”
Lost Robot says “Tahm's easiest matchup by far. Even Yuumi top lane would probably be more of a threat.
Seriously, one time League bugged out and I was stuck with >2000 ms ping and 1 FPS for the entire game, and I still won lane.
She just can't do damage to you. As soon as you get Bramble Vest, I would be legitimately impressed if you managed to die. Nobody else can really pull it off.
If you see Irelia go mid lane and you chose top lane, beg with your mid laner to swap temporarily. Offer to swap back after you get 2 or 3 or 50 kills. Then you'll be fed so you'll win top lane, and Irelia will be weak so your mid laner will win mid lane. Guaranteed win.”
Dorom says “I despise this champion just as much as Fiora. I can never decide who to ban, either Irelia or Fiora. This champion just stuns you with it's E and you can basically go AFK. Ignite is necesseary to get any kill pressure against this beast and if she gets an level up on you you're dead. Try to play agressive for level 2, it's a fight for who gets the level up quicker, then it's not that terrible unless you get hit by one thing. Seriously, stupid champion.”
kduudsz says “Um matchup dificil por ser um boneco forte e com varios dashes, ainda é possivel, usar pta contra para garantir kill early e aumentar pressão”
SanLourdes says “An amazing matchup. Have fun with this one. The only thing to keep in mind is her passive stacks. Once fully stacked, she can burst you down, but other than that, you can bully her easily and even get fed if she doesn't know when to back off. You can Q out of her R as well if you have something to jump on.”
jvr_ says “Just don't get perma freezed by this creature and you maybe won't fall so behind in gold that she's gonna easily dive you under turret. If you are on same level on gold you should be able to kill her if you have some healing reduction and hit every stack of R. Bramble Vest may be good option to build on start.”
SpartanDumpster says “If you don't give her openings to close the distance, and use your W properly, then it can be tough for her to do anything. However, if you're too close to just ONE minion, which she dashes to and kills with her Q, then she'll get into your W's area and she massively out trades you with full stacks.”
JapaUwU says “She is just too mobile. Try not to trade with her near your minions or she will have mobility advantage. Do not try to trade her or all-in her if her passive is active or she will have Attack Speed advantage and kill you. Try to kill her at "6" level, beware of her because she is a snowball character and can easily dominate your lane.”
pioj12 says “INSTA BAN HER THERES NO COUNTERPLAY.
If you go against this champ I hope you have a lot of luck.
She has a lot of sustain thx to her Q for healing.
She wins all in even in mega all at lvl 3 and 6.
Just don play against her you need pretty stupid irelias to win the lane.
”
TwistedDemon says “Hard. You must dodge her E's. You don't dodge, you die. Pay attention to her passive, you definitely don't want to fight against her fully stacked passive. Ask for jungler help.”
gladiatorrr4 says “Irelia is really mobile. Try to poke her when she goes for cs.
Be aware of her Stun. I personally struggle the most against her, thats why I ban her.”
raede says “This matchup is pretty simple. Beat her up a lot but never if she has 5 stacks of her passive. If she goes in on you just focus on dodging her stun and you win.”
Runtley says “Irelia can be hard but not really if you play right. Almost all he dmg is auto's and dashes really all you have to do is blind her and run or shoot her down. You also want to bait her into using her stun then going in when its gone. Also poke her when she uses her W because she can't move.”
Zac Petista says “Muito fácil vencê-la a partir do 3. Não demore para fechar corta cura e tome muito cuidado quando ela fechar Rei destruído, ela estará em um spike muito difícil de segurar, mesmo com vantagem. Lembre-se de observar quantas stacks da passiva ela tem antes de tentar trocar.”
Lunarisen says “Her passive allows her to out-trade you early on, so avoid picking a fight with her unless you've peeled down her HP with your abilities first.”
Pawn Sacrifice says “Irelia it's one of those champions with high mobility, what brings a certain ammount of dificulty to Urgot, but, if you are patient you will probably beat her... wait for the right time to use your E, don't miss it or you will be dead.”
Rime101 says “PERMABAN HER IF YOUR PLAYING TOP
She has too much sustain from her Q to poke out of lane. Can't kite her because of her mobility and is one of the most picked top laners in the game.
”
Alekra says “Can go both ways. You can fight her pre lv 6 but after that be very careful. Dodging her E is crucial as it not only prevents the stun, but also a Q reset. You can bait her W with your Q. You can max Q here for short trades as her passive will win her most long trades.”
Erenando says “Many people would count her as a major threat, but her mobility and her amount of cc isn't quite enough to bring you down later on. Frozen heart is a good item to reduce her attackspeed. So go for it asap and build up some HP she also gets true damage by her passive and conquerer.”
Mainling says “62%+ winrate. Contest her stacking passive and ult her when she ults. You get value out of your ult but since she is suppressed while her ult duration ends her ult has no value. You can win off that alone.”
lulw says “You overpower her early game. If she dares to Q to a minion beside you, E her then all in her. Shes very strong with her 5 stacks. If you cannot dodge her E, try to stun her so you will both be stunned for the duration. You do a lot of damage early and she cannot take all that. You just out stat her in the laning phase. Shes pretty strong with items. First back plated steelcaps if you are even. ”
GrGamingTeo says “NEVER EVER fight Irelia with 6 stack or you loose 100%. Also always dodge her E and a good way of doing so is: run towards her dor 1 second then go to either your left or your right and you succesfully dodge her E. This matchup is impossible to beat is you don't rush Bramble Vest even if you are ahead of her because her healling is so extraordinary with her maxed stacks.”
Drumastermunch says “I'd say extreme juste because there is no room for mistake here, and she has more ways to punish you than a Darius. Respect her passive, punish a missed A or E, or a bad placement if you have lane prio. Don't ever die to her. If you take a lead, you'd be fine, even in late game you still can 1v1 her (tha's not gonna be easy though)”
Olaf Only says “Dont fight her if she has her passive stacked up.
Hold on to your Q's and focus more on Auto attacking her to death as landing axes can be difficult.
Irelia will die very fast if CC'd, so Olaf will generally be more useful in teamfights.
Bramble Vest - Must Buy!”
LunaticDancer says “Her Q can instantly kill all of your ghouls and buff her up to the point of winning any 1v1 with you. You need to be safe in this lane, and when you do go in, make sure to also immediately attack her, so she doesn't farm your ghouls for free. You do outpace her in mid-late game naturally though, so it's a tough lane, but beneficial in the very long run if you haven't already lost.”
Ravenborne says “Quite a easy matchup. Just permanently harrass her so she can not farm. Also stand infront of your minions so she can not get Q resets in. If she has her Passive stacked she will outtrade you. Simply stand back until the Passive Stacks run out.”
zeinz says “Avoid LVL 1-2 if irelia player is decent. If she has her passive maxed don't fight her without your passive or clone. Also, avoid her e/stun.”
Kil4fun says “If she hits you with stun you're dead. Don't be anywhere near her for her level 2. She will push wave to get level 2 advantage and try to firstblood you. After that she will perma freeze and not let you play the game.”
BigManYam says “Freeze lane don't overextend and just waist her time. If its a good Irelia she will try and get early pressure so don't get within her range. ”
GTGx says “After most recent patches, this matchup is slightly in her favour. She is a lane bully, dont fight her when shes at max stacks and e out of her ult.”
Bear24 says “If she goes into your wave auto q her and you win the trades. Even after 6 you win. Make sure to stun and then jump cause she can dash out. If she is fed just q and run away. Late game 3 items and you have 3 items you probably lose 1v1”
DoubleQ says “She can harass you hard in lane but you should be able to kill her pre-6. Stay away from low health minions and use your passive to sustain.”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Dodging her E is easy and her Q can be cancelled by your W. When she R's you and Q's onto you, fling her the other way and run through the opening of the R.”
kingchas2 says “Play around her passive stacks. Once she is at 5 stacks you have to play way back to prevent her from Q'ing to a minion to get to you. Once she is 6 she will almost certainly try and all in, so call for a gank once that is about to happen.”
ModelitoTime says “Depends on the Irelia really, most in lower elo cannot play Irelia well. Just do your best to avoid her E, if her 2nd E looks like it is going to hit you just use your E and dash out the way. ”
ChevalierArlo says “Muito dano no início e no mid-game, seus ghouls serão quatro stacks da passiva dela de graça. Não jogue sozinho contra ela e espere ganks. Build 2 é a única que funciona nela.”
ChlungMan says “You lost the lane just farm under tower and don't trade with her, if she misses e you can trade with her if she is low jump on her with mega gnar.
”
chokoryu says “Rush plated steelcaps+bramble and do not give a kill. Play it safe by farming and disengaging. Don't fight an irelia. Your minions are her escape from your Q, which can be dodged last second by her dashing to nearby minion. Her all-in beats your all-in unless you are fed in kills and cs. Still, would not risk it if the Irelia is a skilled player.”
xxskipskipxx says “You either trade before she can stack up her Q or you wait for lvl 2/3
Make sure you trade her with her Passive not being stacked!!
Dodge her E and dont use all your CDs(spells) when she is casting W!
You can dodge her R and also cancel her Q with your Q3!”
ineptpineapple says “Havent really played against her, but it should be a pretty easy matchup just root her and slow her when she goes in, and she will have no escape if she messes up a q. Approach velocity is really helpful because then she will never get away from you. And with your ult you can cancel any play she nearly makes.”
Vielia says “She's only good to all-in and if she does that she's pretty much dead against you, but if she doesn't get punished in early and gets to her late she's completly superior to you”
NoFriendsPlayLoL says “We win trades if her passive isn't stacked. Take ignite, rush bramble and steel plate boots and its hard for her to fight if she can't sustain.”
Raideru says “This matchup is skill based, lvl 1 u want to zone her from minions if she wants to tank it to get the xp perma chunk her on the next 2-3 waves cose u can myb dive otherwise if u can't just reset and walk back to lane and hold the wave, care after lvl 6 to not get hit by e when you use your e cose she can actually win the all in if u don't have a huge hp advantage. I advise Lethal Tempo with Dblade start and dmg components rush.”
LeSocair says “Decently complicated matchup, it gets harder once she reaches 6, you'll need to create an early advantage against her and you'll win pretty easily, but do it before that, she scales pretty well really fast!”
sauronkaiser says “Probably the biggest Yorick counter. Not only extremely strong in duels, but also her Q can oneshot all your ghouls instantly while charges her passive. A retarded interaction riot never fixed. I will not give advice on this matchup as this is permaban for me. My recomendarion is to ban her or if you get her as enemy, just dodge the game. Theres a chance the player is bad and wont use the ghouls interaction, but imo the risk is not worth.”
TioKirb says “This is a matter of early game, if she gets fed, you can do nothing to stop her, like, at all. But you can take the first and maybe second blood to make her useless. Avoid falling in her E and abuse her W. Her Ultimate ability is annoying, because you get slowed, but if you have the advantage it is just a nuisance.”
RedNBlue says “Dodge her stun and your good, don't let her stack up her passive on the minions, if you don't know what her passive is it is when she uses abilities on minions she gets more attack speed in stacks and she can get up to five stacks.”
Ramixx says “Same like fiora. If played correctly both sides can kill each other. Something that happens a lot is I will play too far up and she will kill me. Then I end up outscaling her anyway with bramble and beating her. Just know that if she managed to get more than 3 kills early you lose hope of 1v1ng her unless shes that bad.”
narsil reforged says “Pegue PTA+Ignite
.Não tem.Nenhuma.Situação.Em que.Ela te mate.No 1v1.Mesmo Stackada.
A aplicabilidade gostosa do pick de Warwick top vem em situações exemplares como nessa matchup. pegue colete espinhoso. Ela pode literalmente procar conquistador, stackar no e e te ultar antes de você começar a dar dano, e você vira a matchup se tiver mitigado um pouquinho de dano no e. Coloque pressão de lane e fique atento às oportunidades de roaming, tomando cuidado pra não deixar ela free farm, pois com o mínimo de recurso bons jogadores de Irelia fazem um estrago danado com um TP bot ou coisa parecida”
KillMeMyFriend says “This lane Can go realy good or realy bad. Don't be close to her when she has stacked passive and E ready. Alaso avoid being close to your low health minions and try poking her whenever you can. If she is far way and uses E on you, you can easily dodge it with W burst of speed.”
100KILAGORILA says “I can say this is skill matchup.If irelia is good she will get shit on u.If you dodge her e and play around her passive stacks you can kill her and then punish with lead.”
iZeal says “Do not fight her when she has her passive stacked up or when she is around enough minions to stack it up quickly! Irelia has terrible disengage and if she can't stack up her passive she won't have enough damage to deal with you. Try to dodge her E and use your E to setup a guaranteed Q if her Q is still up as she will otherwise easily dodge your Q sweetspot.
Beware of completed Blade of the Ruined King.
DBlade, Ninja Tabis!, Phage.”
DarkNavarre says “This is a matchup similar to Gnar in that it relies on who can best punish the mistakes of the other. Let her slip up instead of trying to force a play.”
bocchicken says “Minor threat EARLY, if she makes it to 3 items she will de_stroy you. You can use your E as her stun goes off to negate most of it's duration. Careful for her max passive stacks when engaging.”
NoxianBlood says “Irelia is good match up if the one is playing her doesn't have any experience with her, because a good Irelia plays with her Passive and all ins you dealing magic damage per hit, so I recommend going armor and magic resist if you are vs her, but once you get so tanky she will not deal any damage to you thanks to your massive health pool and flat resistances, just try to land a full Charge Q when you see her Fail her Q dash or when you see her use it twice on you, Stunning Irelia Helps allot to reduce the threat that she will give to your teamates, don't feed her cause she tends to snowball due to her items are essential to make her work well, Also be careful she has a quick stun that she will use to give her a stack of passive and interrupt your Q channel, she will mostly like all in you when she gets you with that stun, if she stuns you, don't trade back off and reposition your self and try to stun her when her stun's on cooldown, remember also to get a heal cut since she heals to full hp from low to every minion killed with her q consider that when fighting her when she has minions around her.”
byThiagus says “Se puede usar ignite, en este match tambien espada de doran y segunda pagina de runas. No la dejes cargar su pasiva, zoneala desde nivel 1. A partir de midgame no podes pelear con ella cerca de una wave de minions salvo que estes extremadamente ahead debido a que este champ nefasto se cura toda la vida spameando q en minions y no le podes pegar basicos pq te baila una locura. NO PELEES SI TIENE SU PASIVA, Es mas fuerte que la tuya”
Boblet says “Play forward level 1, retreat under tower level 2, look for opportunities past that. If you can get ahead she will loose unless she starts a fight with her passive stacked at least to 4 OR she hits you with the stun.”
Stijnzxz says “Like Fiora a great 1v1 but due her passive she can outdmg u so keep her Q stack in mind and use her Q stack as bait so u can E and Q in her face for good trades if u cant.. just ask ur JG for assist.”
RyvalAlex says “Meilleur early que vous. Prenez des trades quand elle n'a pas de stack de passif. Très important de dodge le stun ou de le réduire avec le z.”
Leukasdf says “Dodge her stun and you'll probably win. If she has ignite, ask for a gank since you literally can't do anything against ignite as Aatrox. Poke her a lot early and try going for an all in at 6.”
AWierdShoe says “The single most important thing versus her early on is to trade before she gets to stack up her passive. With the passive stacked up she can just chop you down and kill you, but without it you’re free to take short but really efficient trades whenever she goes for a last hit (starting level 1). And with every good early trade her opportunities to contest for the lane gets less and less. If you play the first 2 levels correctly it then shouldn’t matter if you fail to dodge one of her stuns, since she won’t be able to all in you from it anyway.
”
I Am Goliath says “Another matchup that can snowball if you let her free farm or play to scared, play around her W and her E as much as you can. Watch your minions hp to predict if she is going to Q to that minion and try to Q her everytime she does that. When she activates W try to backout and then all in once it's over. Also if she get's a bork do not fight her. You outscale her in teamfights very hard.”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Let the wave push to you. Level 1 contest the minions before they get low enough because if they do get low enough she will get 3 Q's on the front line minions and then Q on you again for the 4th stack. Level 2 play it a bit safer, look for safe Q pokes. Level 3 we can go a bit more aggressive since we can block her E with our W. Try to not fight her in big waves because this is where she is the best at. Also if possible during the time when you will fight her look to catch her when she is away from the waves or when she has no stacks since Irelia with no stacks on her passive is basically a fancy minion.”
StrikeX114 says “While her high mobility and damage may be her greatest assets, her greatest threat to you is her Flawless Duet (E). Make sure to keep from getting caught out, and you can mitigate much of the threat she poses.”
NickCola Tesla says “Just a very annoying matchup altogether. No one I know actually enjoys fighting against Irelia, so you're not alone if you completely despise the champion. Talk about jack of all trades: Hybrid Damage- drain tank Burst High Move speed diver plus on-hit anti tank Self Peel assassin champion. Irelia behaves in a similar manner to Wukong; you do not want to have her in a position where she has control over the lane, since she can snowball incredibly easy. If this happens, she will stack her Ionian Fervor passive, granting her increased attack speed and on-hit magic damage.
Having this happen repeatedly without you being able to retaliate is what will lose you the lane. The problem with being able to contest Irelia is her insane mobility. If she hits you with Flawless Duet, you risk getting chunked out and pushed out of lane. You need to use your mana sparingly, but spend just enough to punish her with a well placed Q if she gets greedy for minions. Since she's going to be in melee range, take Grasp of the Undying. Build Plated Steelcaps and Bramble Vest and try to contest her mid game scaling. If you die in lane, just play extremely safe and not die again, Irelia snowballs so easily it's unbelievable, and she will actually 1v9 the entire game.”
Saarlichenbog says “Irelia is falls into the exact same category as the aforementioned. She must sustain through her passive and use her Q on minions constantly/land her E to close the gap on Kalista. For Kalista to win the matchup, the main focus of the lane should be utilising your insanely fast wave clear to stop her from stacking her passive and jumping on top of you. From there, she has almost no presence which can be easily taken advantage of.”
hiugnadie says “in this matchup, when irelia tries to stun just e away, and if she q's you then just bounce over her with e and then you beat her in a fight”
Bradybattlemask says “You will almost never beat her, out damage her, or out scale her. If you ever encounter this matchup pray for jungle and all in when R/W is on cooldown.”
Captain Dantems says “Sempre coloque um barril no seu pé e quando ela usar o Q em você ou para farmar o exploda e use sua passiva nela, tente evitar o stun dela e guarde seu W para usar quando estiver com pouca vida. Grasp inspiração. Poção Corrupta.”
FoxyGrill says “Punish her when she jumps on cannon minion with her Q , dodge her E and kite as much as possible, dont fight her while her passive is fully stacked.”
FoxyGrill says “She has high mobility so spacing against her is pretty hard, dodge her E and dont fight while her passive is fully stacked, I recommend taking ignite.”
ItsPaulygon says “This is a fair skill match up, try to stay away from her stun. And avoid using Q a lot. Once she misses her stun, you can trade with her. But be careful of fighting with her for too long, her passive can be troublesome for you.”
TheMightyNinja says “It is an easy matchup early in the game, you can set her behind by using empowered attacks on her whenever she tries to last hit minions, do not let her stack her passive/farm. It is best if you can freeze at your turret since pushing will make you vulnerable to gank.
Master your wave management / map pressure since she can catch up to you pretty fast later in the game. ”
Klappy says “- Q+Pasiva en early cuando use su Q en los primeros 3 minions, pero alejate del rango de su Q, si llega a 4 stacks, pierdes
- No dudes en usar tus habilidades para esquivar su E
- Ella gana tradeos largos, entonces trata de mantener la wave cerca de tu torre
- Usa tu W para esperar a que se vaya su marca si logra darte su E o R”
open_48 says “
skilled matchup. Rush bramble vest and tabi. respect his charged passive. He can dodge the Q with his Q. To get him hit, go E + Q.
pay attention to the life of your minions. He can load the passive in a snap by using the Q on all of them.”
RankOneZesin says “Irelia is a threat for rengar top laners cause of here passive attack spead + true dmg also + e and +r so the only think you can do win lane vs irelia is dodging e and try to kill here before 6 cause if she hits r on you are dead anyways. also if she buy tabis feel free to try the tank build and not the assasin. The only think you can vs irelia is too have a good heavy trade lvl 2-3 also you rush ingite to kill here and perma freez the wave cause she will need to grap some minios+gold and it's a good gank for your jungler and also free lane for you.”
GLP1 says “A good irelia can make your life impossible, you will rely a lot on getting your Q's right and trying to evade her E stun with your E.
at level 6 irelia has a lot of advantage over kill pressure on you”
wolfclaw3812 says “As a mostly AP champion, Irelia's main defensive move is useless. Don't get stunned, and Irelia will get poked out of lane by you eventually. I recommend on-hit if you think you can beat her, and AP if you can't. ”
Nicklstherealone says “She has Outplay Potential but if you dodge her E (Stun) you can always trade just dont let her get 5 Stacks on Passive if she does she can kill you. So just E if she wants to dash on Minions. ”
FearMyJustice says “Play as safe as you can, you probably won't touch her just don't try to win lane except if you get good support from your jungler.”
pedrohnasc says “The worst matchup for Aatrox in my opinion. Don't let Irelia hit the E on you, otherwise you're screwed. She'll be able to dodge your Q's, and you won't be able to damage her. If I were you, I would ban Irelia.
Use grasp.”
Pyroen says “At level 2 she can gap close and take down Kayle very quickly. But she will also likely push the wave to do so. Look appealing enough for a dive at level 6 and slow her with your Q under tower and ult to survive and you will probably come out alive!”
Nodon says “hard level 1/2 but that's it this is a stand in for all auto attack focused toplaners you just poke them down and w them whenever they try to fight you and eventually they will get frustrated take a bad fight and die because you are still tanky in your ult ”
BluSpy says “Never fight her lvl 1-2 or when she has 5 stacks of her passive. lvl 6 you win if you dont get stunned and she doesnt have 5 stacks already
”
Raphi0216 says “Don't fight her when she has her passive fully stacked. It's impossible to hit your E on her when there are low-HP minions around. If there are no minons around, she's basically a free kill.”
IJustWannaCuddle says “Another high mobility champ that can move around and dodge your Pops and W passive. Allowing her to push lane and safely farming until 6 will be your best path. Keeping her under your tower and catching her dashing onto a minion in range to pop her off a E into tower will be your best opportunity to trade with her. Any high mobility champs are a rough match up for Tanky boy. ”
daito Okami says “Probably one of the easiest akali matchups just poke her when she goes for farm with q and use your movement speed to dodge her e. Don't go in if your shroud is on cd and she has stacked pasivs.”
Time1Save says “Very prebuffing champion, incredibly strong in duels, you cannot fight her in 5 stack. Poke her and try to Dodge her E, after 6 LVL in any case do not try to kill her 1 on 1 without your tower, it is worth retreating if she gets E\R. And rush a heal cut. But as long as you play with an advantage, you have to give your team an advantage as well .”
FPSpsychoYT says “Another strong threat for Quinn, save your E for after her Q onto you. You can also cancel her Q with your E if you time it correctly. Dodge her E at ALL costs. If you're mid lane consider banning her, however if you're top ban Malphite.”
Sylrath says “Como con Fiora, una Irelia normalilla o buena no te dará problemas; en cambio una que se conozca perfectamente el matchup y sea MUY buena, va a hacer que acabes 0/10 en fase de líneas. Hará freeze y en el momento que te acerques, morirás. Dependerá de tu ELO y tu habilidad individual banearla o no.”
Colbasz says “Harass her when she dashes in for minions with your Q and E. Try to dodge her stun, and keep your distance if she has her passive stacked. After you get lvl 6 it gets easier, however you still need to dodge her ult and E if you want to have a chance.”
Delvoid says “The bonus damage to shields makes this match up difficult to trade in. And her mobility makes it hard to poke. If she ever misses the E stun you can out trade and if she stands on on top you can shred with passive dmg. Try to flip her during her W”
Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Irelia is fairly easy in lane, just respect her early capability when she lands a stun and has full stacks. As long as you go to fight her or use your ultimate on her when she has no stacks, fighting her will be very easy. Also, ulting her after she ults is a great Idea, and you wont have to worry about being damaged by it in the Death Realm.”
TangoVallhala says “ Skill matchup, Good irelia will be tough, Fight her when her stacks are down, dodge her E, try reserving a second Q if she dives on you, at 6 she has good kill potential try killing her beforehand, but you can also try dodging her ult or standing your ground with yours.”
Missbelrose says “She is super mobile and has a good amount of CC, she also deals magic damage which means you can block CC for less time, play safe and avoid her stun.”
Luceris says “Standard Glacial Runes
Build Duskblade or Trinity Force. Divine Sunderer also works for its healing.
Easy lane Pre 6 with glacial. Glacial slows down the speed of her Q dashes, making it easier to trade with her early on. Irelia's Q puts her behind her target, so if she Q's you after level 2 you can walk up and throw you W backwards right when she gets to you from the dash. This will root her and minimize her damage while giving you time to reposition and trade back. After level 6 things get difficult if you are on her side of the lane due to her ult and stun. She can all in you, but if you use your E ahead of time it can make dodging both a whole lot easier. She pushes wave so hard you typically will not be on her side of the map unless she gets a wave reset off.”
ArmandChad69 says “Vastly superior earlygame, and your chance of winning against her in a melee battle is extremely low. You can scale in the Mid game against her, but her sheer early power is extremely hard to deal with.”
Penguinoverlord1 says “She can zone you off cs and will burst you down very easily if she hits a stun. Play this matchup to survive using your E to get cannon minions and taking the safest cs you can get without being stunned. You are going to be behind in laning phase but you should out scale her after that.”
EternalBadPlayer says “If you cant dodge her E you are most likely dead because if you try to Q her, she will instantly Q into you so she doesnt get bleed and dmg or she will just stun me and dash away. Thank god they nerfed DD because when she went BOTRK + DD she was unkillable. Literally.”
A2Tap says “Irelia will try to take a long trade on the first wave by Q'ing the melee minions. To stop her, try to have priority over the melee minions to prevent her from dashing on them. You are able to windwall the E and the R to prevent her from landing her combo on you.
”
YoungTact says “Irelia sucks atm, but just look out for when shes about to Last hit a minon with Q to W it. Apply lane harass combo whenever you can and rush bramble. Disengage if she has max conq stacks + passive stacks, dodge her e :)”
qasddsa says “I recommend letting her push early on. You can harass her whenever she goes in close with her dash on ranged minions using your Q - it should be pretty easy to predict when she'll dash to the minion. Once Irelia's passive is stacked, you should be very wary of taking trades with her as it is very strong once stacked. She'll be able to stack her passive on minions, so I don't recommend getting close to minions that are low health, especially your melee minions - you can still harass from range with Q. The main way you beat her early on is through short trades with Q and E as well as by dodging her stun and ultimate. Even if you can't dodge her stun every time, you can disengage most of the time by using Q and W. Irelia does better in trades than Kayle early on because of her mobility and ability to get out after trading, making it hard for you to trade back. Late game, your main priority in fighting her is dodging her E and ultimate.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “SPELLBOOK / GRASP (SCALING) SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Irelia before the BORK buff, used to be such a free lane, after you hit lvl6 and you have Sheen, she just get outscaled, she used to go tiamat so she will be permapushing a wave to you and you could even go the same runepage as for matchups like Ivern/Yuumi top, But since BORK became a core item in her and a lot of buffs, it all mixed up into making this a hard matchup. Don't get me wrong, you still outscale her quite hard but early on the matchup becomes way harder. Always check her passive stats, if she is close to 5 and you have minions low near by you, just completely back off, with 5 stacks she can even dive you if she plays it properly. Early on is a skill matchup. A good item purchase is Warden's Mail, it will passively reduce her autoattack speed and give you armor, Its a good item to survive after Sheen. This matchup is all about her Stacks, if she has no stacks, you farm if she has 5 stacks or she's close you back off and let the wave push to you.”
PH45 says “Pay attention to when she has her passive up as that's when she is at her strongest. Save your dash to get out of her stun so she can't get resets for her Q on you. ”
SubHuman Filth says “Get grasp just in case you fall behind.
Very snowbally. Plan far ahead and walk far back when she has oppertunity for 5 stacks.
Get early seekers and just get grasp stacks.
You can completely demolish her if you play it right.”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Tryndamere can beat irelia in allins early BUT you must be careful about her passive and conqueror. She stacks both very quickly and can burst you down and use your own minion wave to kite you. Levels 1 and 2 you can get a good advantage on her if she doesn't play back early on. Look to sidestep her E when she casts it, if you dodge her E that can be a very good time to force a trade. Remember when forcing an extended trade early, do your best to start off the trade with an auto attack that way you can extend the trade with your spin to keep on top of her after she disengages. Some Irelia's will start e or w level 1 to get minions from range but if she uses her cooldown try to position yourself forward so that if she walks in your spin range after she used her ability you can get a good trade on her. Post 6 You will win every allin as long as you start the allin with close to full fury and 90% or more hp. A good tip against Irelia is to fight her away from your minion wave, Irelia cannot kite away from you if she doesn't have your minions to dash around. In the mid-late game splitpush you will win the 1v1's as long as you dont get kited too hard. What I like to do sometimes against Irelia is dive them 100-0 right after they have killed my minion wave so that they can't kite away. Her W is a 50% physical damage reduction channel but only lasts 2 seconds.”
Pyroen says “Though she has a low win-rate, she still poses a threat due to her mobility and all in potential. Watch your minion's health bars, and back off when she can potentially kill 2 or 3 with rapid Q's and use them to close the gap between you and her.”
I Am Goliath says “Irelia is pretty hard in my opinion just because she can basically all in you at anytime while you're in your mini form, watch closely when she is about to dash to minions and don't stand close to one of your minions that's about to die or she will get a free leap onto you while getting her Q reset which means she can use it when you E away, Once you get frozen mallet that should help a lot but honestly just try to take value trades and play careful and watch your minions, you can also q the minion if you predict she is going to jump to it.”
Nabura says “Quite difficult as they now run Bork and use the active to guarantee their E. You also need to invest 800g into Executioners at some point.”
STIERNACKENTYP says “Irelia is one of the strongest champs vs GP. You wont do much vs an Irelia OTP since u cant do shit. Once she gets Sheen/Phage, she can perma all in you. I recommend to play very passive, since poke wont help because she can all in u then. Get early ninja tabis.”
I Am Goliath says “This is Yoricks second hardest matchup in my opinion, the good thing about this matchup compared to jax is you actually win it midgame if she is not to snowballed. My #1 tip against irelia is to never summon your ghouls to start the fight because she will insta q kill all of them and get stacks, wait until she jumps on you and is fighting you to summon your ghouls, also you kind of have to wait until you have maiden to do anything in this matchup, be very careful of irelia's level 6 kill pressure and respect her early levels, try to dodge E's the best you can and watch her stacks, if she ever has 5 stacks you have to back off. Also keep an eye on your minions HP because she can jump to them to get onto you easier, You'll want phage + ninja tabi's as your first items in this lane. Mid game you win duels with maiden out as long as she is not fed.”
EntxRecoil says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Tryndamere can beat irelia in allins early BUT you must be careful about her passive and conqueror.

orangepenguinhead says “Her gap closer(Q) makes her hard to lane against. If she misses her Q or E make sure to punish her and harass her. Her W only reduces Physical Damage so don't worry about it. ”
Darrkescru says “Runa : Grasp, Impeto
Lane dificil jogue safe pois você não ira matar ela, se ela for ruim não fique perto dos minions quando ela for stackar a passiva
Rusha : Armguard , Botas”
qazx1427 says “Like Yasuo, having your ghouls up against Irelia just makes her stronger. She'll kill them instantly, stack her passive, and remove you from the game. There's very little counterplay, and she's your best permaban; your team will thank you for it.”
ZergDood says “Your level 1 doesn't have angage tools, so don't get flashy the first 2 minutes, get your butt to farm or she'll conqueror you out of lane. A good Irelia will patiently wait for you to waste your W and then engage. If you don't take the bait and don't eat that weird stun, you win the lane and possibly the game if you harass her correctly. If she R's you and you're in danger (or someone else is) you can literally R her away and it's over. Poke her, don't take extended trades, watch her stun, farm and don't let her do so without punishing, and win. Remember, spare your W, use it when she's low or when you're low and she can Q. This is an ideal matchup for Poppy. You have everything to counter her, don't let her outplay you. Your W can stop her dash.”
Ayanleh says “Irelia is not a hard matchup but it will be tough till lv6. The reason why its kinda easy is because once you ult irelia she will have no minion to get stacks of her passive with.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “Don't let her stack her passive for free. Save stun for W in an allin. Build brambles vest.
You're way better in teamfights than her and you should atleast go even earlygame.
Take bone plating.
Take armor.”
make alistar great again says “Play safe, try to get ganks early. Don't make mistakes - they will be very costly.
Tip: Try to disengage and play safe until you have at least Bami.”
Shumair says “The Irelia matchup is a spicy one. You can't just spam your abilities on her and expect to win. It actually requires some skill and knowledge of the matchup to win. You should always keep a mental note of whether she has stacks of Ionian Fervor or not so that you can predict when she'll all in. Another trick is to fight then your minion wave is small so she has less minions to dance around with. When Irelia uses E, you can ult after she places the first one down to cancel the ability as it won't travel to the Death Realm. You have to react very fast to to this and it won't work every time. Another thing you can try to do is flash or protobelt away from her ultimate and then all in her. If you manage to dodge it you will win the fight 100% of times.”
LulzTVit says “Irelia is dangerous. She has DPS and rushes BOTKR so she can easily destroy your defenses. She has a dash spam and can put constant pressure since all your abilities are skillshots”
RemusEl says “She has many ways to jump on you and CC you.She can also block your combo with her W. Poke her on lane and use E to disengage(never engage against her because you are left with no ecape).”
laoshin3v3 says “She has a lot of mobility and is early pretty strong, don't stay near minions that are low hp and try to dodge her stun. If she ults you, ult urself.”
ShiningShen says “Z dobrą Irelią nie masz czego szukać. Słaba Irelia jest łatwa do pokonania. Wystarczy, że poczekasz aż doskoczy do miniona i ją stauntujesz.”
ClanBlade says “Very hard to hit as she is super mobile, even with your E. She heals a lot so i recommend you buy an executioners. Her W is similar to Fiora's W except is doesn't stun or make her invulnerable but lasts longer, has a shorter cooldown and reduces physical damage by 50%. She will try to use this on your 3rd Q so be careful as the damage reduction is significant, her W is similar to Fiora but not as bad. To counter her E out of the way if she tries to E you and Ult or flash at the same time she does.”
Fiora Pogjet says “You can always outtrade her if she doesnt have 5 or 4 stacks from her q. Blocking her E with your W is very easy and lvl 6 you can win the fith even more.”
Murderman5 says “Irelia can dodge most of Cho's attack's as well but you can only stop her if you silence her with w and catch her with q and e afterwards. just keep that distance if she get's attached to you and stun's you things can get messy S:^P. ”
ModxLoL says “There are a couple things to watch out for vs. Irelia: 1) Watch out for her E stun; it will allow her to jump to you an extra time for free. 2) When she uses her W, similar to when Garen uses W, you should not pour your entire combo onto her as it gives her massive damage reduction. Keep auto attacking her while she has it active – you can’t interrupt it with your CC. Once it’s over you can use the rest of your abilities on her. ”
Gangplank_Main1 says “Runes: Grasp, Demolish, Bone Plating, Overgrowth, Biscuits, Time Warp Tonic, Double Adaptive, Armor.
Start of lane passive auto minion for grasp, dont leash.
What to get on first back: Dorans blade (or double dorans blade)
Gangplank hard wins pre 6, level 1-2 you can hard harass irelia then you can also look to get a dorans blade cheater recall. You just need to be very aggressive into irelia until she hits 6. Building Phase first can be good if you have odd backs, but generally going sheen first is idea. Early tabis is nice. When irelia is about to hit 6 you need to make sure your wave isnt near irelia’s tower, cause if so you WILL get zoned for xp and gold. Doesn't matter if you’re full hp, the further away you are from the tower the more time irelia has to kill you. So wave management wise you need to make sure to not mess up. After trinity force its ok to build executioners since irelia’s current build is a bunch of lifesteal items (if the meta has shifted to a different build that doesn’t involve with sustain then don’t build executioners ).Outside of laning phase irelia beats gp in the split but in teamfights you hard win.

9690 says “D-Blade. Level 1 watch out for her passive because if she has max passive stacks she will always beat you. The big part of this matchup comes down to how you use your windwall. Pre-6 use your windwall on her e and run her down. Level 6 don't waste your windwall on just an e because she has a lower e cooldown and can full engage. Outscales you. Take Conq.”
gsaeyx says “Go full AD and you might have a chance. Sit and your turret and only trade when you don't have waves, legit this champ makes me wanna throw up. Rush tabis to prevent her from autoing you to death.”
Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Tryndamere can beat irelia in allins early BUT you must be careful about her passive and conqueror. She stacks both very quickly and can burst you down and use your own minion wave to kite you. Levels 1 and 2 you can get a good advantage on her if she doesn't play back early on. Look to sidestep her E when she casts it, if you dodge her E that can be a very good time to force a trade. Remember when forcing an extended trade early, do your best to start off the trade with an auto attack that way you can extend the trade with your spin to keep on top of her after she disengages. Some Irelia's will start e or w level 1 to get minions from range but if she uses her cooldown try to position yourself forward so that if she walks in your spin range after she used her ability you can get a good trade on her. Post 6 You will win every allin as long as you start the allin with close to full fury and 90% or more hp. A good tip against Irelia is to fight her away from your minion wave, Irelia cannot kite away from you if she doesn't have your minions to dash around. In the mid-late game splitpush you will win the 1v1's as long as you dont get kited too hard. What I like to do sometimes against Irelia is dive them 100-0 right after they have killed my minion wave so that they can't kite away. Her W is a 50% physical damage reduction channel but only lasts 2 seconds.”
BloodyDream81 says “Match up à l'avantage de Darius, mais dépend énormément du joueur d'Irelia, si il est vraiment bon, tu ne pourras pas faire grand chose, mais c'est très rare, on va donc parler d'un cas général.
Quand tu affrontes Irelia il y a 2 choses auxquelles tu dois faire attention, son passif et son E. Le passif d'irelia gagne 1 stack à chaque fois qu'elle achève une unité avec son A, jusqu'à un maximum de 5 stack ou elle gagne de gros dégâts bonus sur chacune de ses AA, et de l'atk speed. Visuellement son personnage est entouré d'un halo brillant, elle gagne également des stacks en touchant un champion avec ses sorts ! Quand tu veux affronter irelia clique sur son personnage et regarde en haut à gauche combien elle en a, si elle en a 2 ou plus, attend que l'effet parte !
La deuxième chose, c'est son E, elle pose 2 lame à 2 endroit différent, qui forme une ligne, si tu es sur cette ligne tu es stun, et marqué, la marque lui permet d'utiliser 2 fois son A sur toi, donc si tu évites le E, tu évite le stun, et la marque, si jamais tu fais ça, tu n'as plus qu'a lui courir dessus et elle n'aura aucune chance !
Astuce : Les tabi ninjas te donnent énormément de résistance contre irelia car la totalité de ses dégâts viennent des coup blancs, les avoir rapidement t'assure une lane facile !”
Dantheman81 says “Irelia usually isn't a very big issue unless she gets ahead. If you or your team manages to give her any sort of advantage she will take over the lane and you will have to play very passively and safe. If you manage to get behind early on, pick up a bramble vest to counter her healing when she goes in on you.”
ChocoChurro says “She can't block neither magic or true damage, but she can outplay you. You two have great movilty, but her because of abilities and you because of MS. Skill matchup (and a good Irelia will have a lot more skill than a good Lillia).”
Xplor says “Irelia can be a threat if skilled. Avoid her abilities as much as possible and farm close to your turret. You can take Irelia down easily if he misses most of her skills.
You have better chances after level 6 and/or after you have at least trinity force. Then the lane is all yours.”
Darrkescru says “O bixin do capet4 use impeto gradual e nunca troque quando ela estiver com a passiva stackada quando ela te dar all in faz ela pisar em um cogumelo proca o impeto e caita ela ate a morte”
Lintaar says “Irelia is extremely mobile but she cant do much pre-6 so play aggressive. When she ults you make sure to run out the back NOT THROUGH THE BLADE WALL. Q her as you do and you should be able to circle around to your side of the map very fast.”
Magginator says “I've never struggled personally against Irelia. If she ults towards you ult her out of it the other way. Just let her waste mana on her q reset while farming if she does that. Or better yet force her to q to farm by positioning to get a stun.”
iTzToniOP says “This is not hard at all but if you underestimate her damage and die early you'll be into a trouble. If the lane is tied and she ults you, don't worry, don't walk away, it will be worse. Just use your R, spam the W and try to win the trade. If you're near your tower it is possible to get away by jumping out.”
Nyx Adachi says “Tradeos demasiado buenos, recomendaria unas tabi y esperar el gankeo del jungla, de lo contrario la mayoria de veces te ganara los tradeos ”
darksage1234 says “This is a skill matchup. Good Irelia players will kite you and just go for short trades against you. Be careful of her stun, if it hits you, you want to sky splitter to give you the advantage in a fight.”
ForOrion says “A weaker top lane early and mid game. She has the damage to knock you down once she reaches 6, but you have the ability to put her out if she gets too close either under turret or if she is trying to stack her passive in lane. Punish her Q and all in, with care of her E. If she misses, its free kills.”
JuarezLOL says “irelia is a tricky champion because we are able to screw her kit or hard lose to her
you can easily dodge her E with your W but when she use R on you there is no escape in it you have only 1 option to use R before she jump on you and cancel her Q mid-way its possible and its very easy same method can apply on tryndamere's E”
JuarezLOL says “its very easy match up because you will dominate the game but in order to do that you cant trade hard in early game because she can crush you with her E the moment you are rushing in with your E she will stun you and will get a good chunk of your hp so farm up and wait for your ruined king after that just all in her ”
JuarezLOL says “irelia is hard because her all in potential is stronger than gp and gp is a poke based champion so in order to win this lane you need to dominate her pre 6 and dodge her E save your passive for her all in and always have a barrel up
get your grasp stack with getting aggro from minions”
foxthrone says “irelia is somewhat one of Mordekaiser's biggest counters, since she's mobile, high dmg, and can easily beat you early, mid, and late game. ”
ACE4291 says “tahm wins. However, this can be difficult to finish a kill due to her dashes. She requires a target for her Dash so if she decides to dash into you with no minions around. you win. ”
AskMeHowToGp says “Bait her into qing a minion while u put your barrle in the range of the minion that way she will need to eather take the minion and the damage or miss cs and you will eventualy out farm her.”
report singed ty says “Skill matchup. Once she decides to all in you though she has constant damage with 0 windows of breathing time for your cooldowns so you better play it smart.”
WatchersGrim says “With the new irelia, plus conqueror. Fighting her is a pain. The new stun combo to go in and out just does a lot. Plus with her negating around 80% or so damage, her W now basically counters your ult.”
Beatport Expo says “Hard fight in the late game due to her mobility and DPS. Too agile to catch up to her in laning phase If she played properly and outdamages you pretty much entirely later on”
SabinX says “Care about her passive at all times, if she has no passive you are gonna destroy her, if her passive is 4-5 stacks you may lose the fight. Give her the space if needed in early game.”
Kingarthur720 says “irelia isnt a hard matchup since few people are good on her. You can go virtually any build here but i like the grasp build into her since she will most likely dash into your auro range while you are cs'ing giving you free grasp procks. She snowballs hard if she gets 1 or 2 kills so be sure to keep her in check and not let her roam. Good irelia's will make sure to keep in melee range and not let you farm up in this case build RFC or PD first items”
VIP Titan says “Irelia is one of the champion you really should beat her. Since Olaf is made to counter her!
Tips:
Be aware of her passive charge up to 4 stacks
She can't kill you when is on a flat ground (No minions)
MAX E not Q !
”
DeLaGeezyBaby says “Irelia es un campeón con mucha movilidad y daño. Además que si las cosas salen mal en linea y comienza a hacer roaming en otras lineas se convierte en una pesadilla para las demás lineas.”
ShaharKarisi says “Her dashes are really scary for Shyvana, try to focus on not getting marked and punishing her when her Q is down. Try to R out when she uses her R because it makes you unstoppable.”
Starci says “I would say this lane is in your favor. Parry her E and the fight is pretty much yours. If she has ult the fight may go either way, but if you manage to dodge it with your Q too you stomp her.”
Vodka4Gaben says “You win the matchup if you have a lot of tentacles around, you can get hit by everything she throws at you, as long as you have your tentacles in place, you shall never lose.”
SuPIeX says “Easy matchup. Your Q shuts her down hard, and your W cancels out her stun. The only danger is that you have to stomp her hard or she will scale and still be a threat to your team.”
Discord Rengar Mains says “It's actually surprising just how well Rengar can deal with Irelia. If you manage to dodge her E and fight her when she has less than 3-4 stacks of her passive, she can't do shit about it, since you actually outdamage her significantly early game. Good wave management will also screw her over since she will have a harder time stacking her passive, and the only really annoying thing about her is her W defensive steroid. If you manage to kill her twice then it's almost gg, since she can't risk farming without you beating the shit out of her. However, do note she can set up ganks quite well and if she gets too ahead she will make short work of you, but you still have a lead. Do note however that the new BotRK build might change this match up later on.
Ignite + Flash is good to leave her behind early on and keep on winning. Conqueror is also a great rune to deal with her overall. Aggressive bruiser will leave her into the dirt until the very late game, but even full AD can work.”
CounterBlad3 says “Botrk Cleaver Irelia is extremely strong against Darius, but if you can dodge her E she has little ways to stop you from running her down”
Itreallyhim says “Skill matchup, Irelia is insanely strong and has crazy outplay potential.
Dodge her e, If she hits you with ult, Ult her to remove the walls and return the damage when she has nowhere to go.
Dont do longer trades because of her passive.”
Rivenetto says “Skilled Irelia players are major threat,others are tiny. Fight only if she misses E and avoid fights when she have full stacked passive”
classicnoob says “Can't win smack her with your Q she cant do anything keep her out of XP range if she fights she loses,Cuz Irelia players love to fight.”
classicnoob says “Very Easy Matchup,But even if its easy still watch out,in early game.Since your 1 of the weakest early game champs in the game.When you get Level 6 you beat her easily.”
