you might as well take two points in Q for laning if you plan on prolonged laning. 2 levels in Q makes it so that you can Q the caster minions after one tower hit (ease of farming).

Well Q>E>w vs E>Q>w is a matter or preference i think, you can't say any of these is better than the other. I love jumping so i max Q for the cooldown.

Gotta level up Q to 3 to bring that cooldown to 10seconds, which will match E's cooldown of 9 seconds nicely.

Okay, I give up. I completely don't understand the reasoning behind how Irelia builds, both skill and item-wise. It's like one of the cases when I look at a champ's skills, think of an item/skill build and am completely wrong, I feel like I don't understand shit about this game.

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.

What? 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.

It just hit me that Q works like Ezreal's Mystic Shot, activating and blowing the Sheen proc on the same attack, right? That may be why I didn't notice it lol.

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.

So after trinity/sv then what else? Are you supposed to build her pure tank from now on depending on the type of damage from the opposing team or are you supposed to include another damage item? Is opening cloth to hog with 5 pots better than opening shield?

I do 0/9/21 because... well, w/e, 4 armor vs. 1.3 crit, who cares.

and no, fuck hog. 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).

2/7/21 is good on someone like MF or Ezreal, where a random crit will sometimes instantly win the lane for you.

Irelia instantly wins lanes anyway so whatever.

I was telling someone in the EU Liquidparty chat yesterday that Irelia couldn't Q through the twingols' wall, but I was wrong. (Just saw Jiji do it on stream)

Sorry about that, whoever it was I told.
