dun worry guys, I have it from Grackis that Irelia is not OP.

Funny how all the people who dont go for an early Trifoce say she's not OP...
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Irelia, in a nutshell: R>W>E>Q.

So I've noticed jiji does 0-15-15 for masteries and gets hog/sv no matter what and especially vs tough champions to solo vs, thoughts? 0-9-21 has worked pretty well for me and I usually just try to get a sheen asap and often skip sv completely.

I agree. I haven't made sv on her ever... early sheen makes her harass so much better, you can get most solo champs to less than half hp with just a couple of q-e combos

From what i've seen there are (actually used to be 1+ month ago, back when noone banned her) 2 most popular Irelia builds:
EU build of "max W first and go for attack speed items" (aka the "Irelia actually is not imba" build)
and US build of "max W last and go for crazy e+q burst improved by triforce -> tank" (aka "MUST BAN IRELIA" build)

Isn't that EU build the same as jungle build?

Yep. Wriggles -> wits end is the main thing in that build and it has good sustained dps but it's definitely not as good as trinity -> tank.

Maxing W first, then E is still quite the burst, specially by using W+Q. She just tears people apart.

Don't jungle with her. Always lane.
And btw, rushing sheen on jungle isn't bad.

The only question when someone wants to jungle as Irelia i have is: "Jungle who?"

Why delay her godmode?

well, it's because I was trying to prevent our Kass and Sniperness from ragefeeding by letting them both have solos. then they had a dickmeasuring contest over mid and played duo mid so it ended up being a worthless sacrifice on my part anyway T_T.

2 things
how do you feel about mana crystal + 2 pot open on her for superfast sheen + more mana to Q with?

is teemo a viable counterpick to irelia? i feel like if teemo sits in his creeps and hits you twice + a Q every time you Q a creep, he'll win the lane. if you try to fight he blinds you and kites you. shrooms prevent you from comboing him at 6 or 7 and save him from ganks. what say you?

When you're about to combo someone is it best to W before Q/E so your sheen proc has W also?

sheen proc gains nothing from using W there. I save my W so that I can use it to get an extra sheen proc later in the fight.

like, Q -> E -> autoattack -> W will typically net you 2 sheen procs (1 off the Q, 1 off the W)

if you just faceroll W -> Q -> E -> autoattack, you'll only get 1 sheen proc, but you will get 2 extra W procs (Q and autoattack).

now that I'm looking at that though, W first probably makes sense as soon as you have 2 or 3 points in it, since a sheen proc really only grants you an extra 50-80ish damage (depending on level) which is affected by armor whereas a level 2 W getting 2 extra procs gives you an extra 60 true damage. So as soon as you have level 2 W, it's probably in your best interests to just faceroll W -> Q -> E even though it doesn't proc sheen as often.

Thoughts on maxing W before Q or E in lane? Or Q > W = E?

Maxing W first is horrible.

You need the better E duration, that's for sure. Bladesurge also is almost useless in any teambattle before it's rank 5 because of how the cd scaling works. That's why, although maxing W might seem tempting, you're going to have to max Q second and are left with a trashy E.

Maxing W would be ok if you didn't need max Q and E as soon as possible. As is, they're too important. If you do max W, then for the love of god max Q second and leave E at rank 1.
