1) I can understand why she goes tank, but Triforce? Why triforce? All of her skills are on long-ass cooldowns and Q doesn't even generate a Sheen proc, so this leaves us with W and E and it looks like a bad idea to wait for 2 seconds before activating E after W to get that second proc up. Idk, when I just looked at her, I was positive about building tank/AS, but triforce with all the useless stats it gives (crit, AP ugh) is beyond my understanding. 2) Maxing W last. I was under the impression that 75 true damage on every attack is like ultra pro, and the earlier in the game, the better. Q does like no damage and has 1:1 AD scaling so it's just an extra auto-attack. E is an okay nuke, but not a damage source on it's own because of AP scaling and cooldowns. Aside from that, we have her ult, but is a good DPS source really? The point of this post, of course, is not to provide a reasoning behind why this build is bad. It's a plea for help, because for me the efficiency of the build seems 100% counter-intuitive. | ||

Q both generates and uses a Sheen proc (like Mystic Shot) AND is on a really short cooldown. That's why it's so good. I don't know where you got the idea that it doesn't generate a Sheen proc.

True damage is LESS valuable earlier in the game, because until squishies pass 31 armor, your autoattacks are doing true damage anyway from your armor pen. Q/E give you early-game burst against squishies. W gives you sustained damage vs. tanks, but sustained damage against tanks isn't that huge of a concern until midgame (though its relevant against some lanes). | ||

I've checked like yesterday and I was absolutely sure Q doesn't proc sheen because that's like the first thing I've thought about. I can't double-check now because I don't have Irelia. | ||

EDIT: didn't read well enough, I'm dumb. Everything makes sense now, thank you. | ||

You're obviously not going to get a visual cue for the Sheen proc (because Q procs onhit effects)--but it's fairly obvious that you're getting Sheen procs when your first Q 1-shots a caster minion and your immediate followup one doesn't. | ||

Sion's the only character that out CSes my irelia during laning, why would I waste money on G/10 when it doesn't even build into a tanking item I want. (seriously GA and BV do so much more for irelia than Omen IMHO). | ||
