BorK into Triforce means that unless you're dedicating yourself to dueling top lane and drawing aggro. Unless your teamcomp allows you to cleanup in teamfights, you're going to blow up unless you and your team are hideously ahead. More often than not, getting a Randuins, Frozen Mallet, or SV is simply better if you're expecting to teamfight soon. | ||

More often than not, getting a Randuins, Frozen Mallet, or SV is simply better if you're expecting to teamfight soon. Bork is significantly better in all scenario's not involving having to use bladesurge to oneshot a high HP creep to make plays happen. It's straight up better against anybody who builds tanky. I think I'd only build triforce against certain AP lanes just for the stronger burst damage and outplay potential. I think almost every game I play I'd go damage item(with 1-2 dorans as necessary), and then tank up. Pretty much impossible to do anything useful in a teamfight without some tank items. After a couple tank items(generally rand/SV+GA), if I have the chance to go for the other offensive item I'd do it. Zephyr in combination with SV and maybe a blue pot gets pretty silly though. | ||

you can play irelia as behind and still rushing trinity but it takes a lot more reliance on your team and finesse | ||

Obviously if I'm super ahead it isn't an issue. | ||

I think the one place Irelia is better than Jax is against Ranged Toplaners. So I keep her as a counterpick against the occasional weirdo who goes Lissandra or Quinn Top. | ||

I only really pick her when Riven isn't an option and some turd decides Jax in the jungle sounds like a good idea. | ||

I'm more afraid of Jax and Darius than Riven, though Riven will beat Irelia until level 9 and some armor I think. IIRC, Irelia Carries U said that Irelia can outlane Jax until about Level 11, but I never figured out how that worked. Also, Irelia has a nice derriere, while Jax doesn't, but unfortunately, Ass != Elo. | ||

I feel like Irelia handles "vs. manaless bully" top lane matchups much better too, due to having sustain that she doesn't need to spend mana on, and the super short-CD stun. Jax really struggles in matchups like that. | ||

Irelia > Darius -> really bad match up honestly would never pick it but Irelia is so hot + Darius looks like an ugly little bitch. Seriously fuck that guy Irelia > Riven -> I love both my women but unless Riven is using the exile skin Irelia all the way | ||
