I think people should be realize that yes, its only .4 seconds for a 2 second stun but your more than likely going to eat more than just 1 stun, so that extra amount of cc reduction will add up.

How about Dodge yellows and going Ninja Tabi, eventually building the Philo you got as a first item into the CC reduction item?

I saw voyboy just get a vampsceptre early game as irelia and not bother with wriggles, thereby getting most of the sustain for lane without having to deal with investing lots of money into wriggles which slows down your triforce a lot.

Started using an Irelia build I jacked from some guy that was literally 1v5'ing our team a week or so ago.

Runes

Armor Pen Red - HP Regen per Lvl Yellow - CDR Blue - Move Quints

Mastories

0/21/9

Items - Philo - Philo - Merc (Or Zerkers, depends) FM, Mogs, Atmas, FoN, Triforce.

If you can farm half decent and get to about 40min. You'll have everything but the Triforce. You'll have about 4k HP and your base regen combined with your ult is just off the charts. I had an entire team focus everything on me and not kill me. (LB, shaco, xin, Blitz, LS) and my burst was almost 1 shotting LB and shaco.

Suggestions are welcomed though!

Edit - HP regen per lvl yellows

mana or hp regen yellows? Also, triforce should get in there sooner, it's too good on her.

lol Triforce AND FM. That's cute. Cut out FM, get triforce first, and you have a regular irelia build that works fine. ;O

Open shield or regrowth, shield better most of the time. Early sheen to triforce, usually banshee or fon after, then up to you what defensive/offensive items to get. GA is a must. You can get one philo or hog before sheen vs tanky laners you cant burst down. Usually around mid game if you're farming well there will be a period where you can shit on anyone at will, make sure you abuse that opening and not afk top for 30min. Ghost > flash. Don't be a pussy in fights.

I used to. I probably still would if I didn't think that she secretly sucks in lane in the currently relevant matchups.

Maybe regular builds but I can't see myself not punishing Vlad/Annie pre-6. Swain close but I think the LazerBerd f's me up too much.

vs squishies push the lane at lv1, when you have creep advantage Q E asap -> lane won. Stop when junglers are at ganking level.

lol I remember my first ever game as Irelia I had top lane with a Nidalee against a Jax and Swain. Almost traumatized me for life.

Like this: Just grab solo top and farm. And farm. And farm. And farm. And farm. And farm. And farm. And farm. And farm. Then raep.

PS: I run Mp5pL blues AND yellows. I can spam Q vs minions under tower all day long.

I play Irelia quite a bit around the 2000 ELO level in ranked, and I'm not a huge proponent of the trinity force first build... She's a really item dependent champion, and since I like to play a mobile style, I often don't get the farm I need to justify trinity force...

Generally I'll go dorans shield, level 1 boots and Rageblade before I even think about grabbing Sheen or trinity force... I run 11/18/1 masteries with Ignite/Ghost. This build has a much better midgame, especially if you're in a difficult lane or your team has a difficult start.

If I get the chance, I'll write a small [G] for this alternate style, since it's been pretty successful so far at my ELO.
