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

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.”
Thresh top is OP! by Riceyboll | Thresh Player
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.”
Shark of Void says “Use W to dodge her E. Don't fight with her if she has stacked passive.”

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. ”

KingJoeyy says “at level 1 upgrade Q irelia is only strong with 4 stack of Q also this is where you have advantage and don't let her get her stacks.”

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.”

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

Foxirion says “Irelia’s high mobility and burst damage can be a major threat to Swain, as she can dodge Swain’s abilities and quickly eliminate him.”
PhantasmEUW says “[PTA] Irelia can always easily get ontop of you, try to pressure her away from your minions lvl 1 so she cannot stack Q, you should be able to win lvl 1 with PTA + Boneplate if she doesnt stack her Q. Afterwards the matchup becomes hard to play if you dont have a big lead already as she pretty much always has Killpressure on you after 6. Be especially careful when she hits her Blade spike.”

michaliis says “Go Dorans Blade. Skill Match up. Its really fun to play against. Trade with her and try to outplay her with Q3. So many dashes it can be annoying but try to predict where she will go.”

Laimaudeja says “[I would use the First Strike page in this lane, modified with 65 flat health over 10-180 scaling health, and start Doran's Ring.] Irelia is really difficult to play against, especially when she manages to stack up her passive, so position yourself away from minions that have low health and be very careful of her stun. Keep in mind that her ultimate passively reduces the cooldown of her dash, making it very difficult to face her one-on-one later!”

Yannou-Ari says “Flash - TP - Flat HP. Q start. Same thing with yone, if she reaches you, usually she will have enough dps to cut through your barrier no matter what. Try not to walk too far in lane or she will catch you with minions. The only window to shut her down is before her BRK, so call your jungler if she pushes to much. After that she will just go for magic resist and you won't ever be able to one shot her. Play with your team since you are more useful in fights!”
angeLoon says “really hard matchup on top, if she hits you with her E you're dead. use phase rush in this match and try to play slowpushing in the beggining”

Enderspider says “good luck your dogs are jump pads to her but as oppose to yorick, they follow you around instead of her so you cant escape.”

awawa says “Skill matchup. A good Irelia wont ever use Q on minions and will wait until you waste your fear. You will die if you wont use passive properly. Watch out for her trying to hide E1 in minions. Dont get stunned.”

ShokLoL says “Irelia is extremely strong in the laning phase and the sidelane, but she needs to snowball in order to perform well in teamfights. For the most part you will be looking to keep the wave on your side and try to setup ganks or just avoid having Irelia chase you down the lane. Be extremely careful of her level 2 and level 6 all in especially. Above all else your goal is not to die, even if you go down CS to Irelia it should be fine unless you give over some kills.”
[14.7] Shok's Rank 1 Challenger Azir Guide by ShokLoL | Azir Player
MageSept says “Irelia is extremely difficult to play against as Veigar. If she's bad then you can farm safely but if she's good then… good luck. Your base armor puts you at 100-0 range extremely fast and a little misstep will result in a death. Getting Bone plating and early Plated Steelcaps is good against her. The upside of this matchup is that Irelia is hard to play and doesn't scale that much even if she spikes very hard when she gets her Blade of the ruined king. Her roams are also a bit weaker than other champions but she has one of the strongest skirmish in the game so be careful. If your mates do not respect priority you'll have a (very) hard time. ”
