I open with a vamp scepter, QWWEQR (I might have grabbed another W at level 5, I don't remember). It's pretty easy to keep your health up just by autoattacking his stupid ghosts and minions. Once you get a sheen and get to level 6, you can engage Yorick freely and own him. I dunno, it was only one game where he seemed strong. Might be the yorick player that was good had good runes or whatever. I also feel like fast sheen destroys yorick but I'd have to play it more. btw lol good luck chill irelia is a 6300 IP champ so you're not going to be able to buy her as soon as free week is gone (I assume is free week for her?) I actually think irelia is the only 6300 champ I own but definitely one of my favourites. I'd recommend watching http://www.own3d.tv/video/156043/SoloMid.net_-_Chaox_s_Marathon_-_Irelia_part1_ +part 2 If you wanna see what you can really do with this champion. | ||

 .She cannot force anyone out of the lane, she is not the best afk farmer , she doesnt counter anyone but she can be countered :/. The only reason why irelia is still good for me is beeing the most mobile "tank" in game. Other then that if i want to farm i pick Nasus or Gp, if i want to be aggresive i pick Garen/Renekton. Also i have yet to lose a lane versus irelia as garen. He seems like super hard counter to her unless he gets ganked early . | ||

She doesn't win many lanes, but she doesn't lose the way Nasus or Singed can, and she has comparable power when farmed. Lol @ farming with GP, on equal farm, Irelia takes a massive massive dump on GP. Irelia is my go-to safe pick in lane. She can just spec balls out defensive and arrive on lane with like 70 Armor vs. Garen/Pantheon/Talon with 5 hp pots and just outsustain them until wriggle's and then she just fucks them in the face. You can literally just outspec whoever you're laning against and get your farm vs. ANYONE, which transistions into her retarded mid-late game. She's a really stupid character, but I love Irelia and I can't believe people bitch about her power (it's STILL fucking absurd). | ||

21-0-9 ArPen red/purple; armor yellow; mres/lvl blue. QWQEQR, R>Q>W>E (depending upon how tough your lane is, you may need to grab an extra level or 2 of W early on) vamp scepter => boots1 => sheen => phage => triforce => merc treads => chainmail => negatron cloak => frozen heart => force of nature. This leaves you with an open slot and a vamp scepter to play with. If you've made it this far, you probably have pretty much won or will win because you're so damned tough to kill. The vamp scepter should be turned into either a bloodthirster or starks. I typically build it out last after I fill the open slot. Candidates for the open slot include +AS weapons (AS is always good on a late game Irelia for W scaling) and last whisper for armor penetration. In most cases, you won't need any more defense-oriented items. I'm a big fan of the school of thought that Irelia doesn't really need much in terms of +HP items because she heals so much in fights. I'd guess that, in late game fights, she probably heals for 1500-2000+ hp during each fight from her R, autoattacks with W, and vamp from Q use. That's a shitton when you consider that she has roughly 200/180 armor/mres. If you're jungling, use the same build (maybe AS reds instead), but open cloth+5hp => wriggles, WQWEQR. You can start at blue if you get a leash. | ||

Yea I had a pretty stupid game with irelia. The rest of my team couldn't be relied upon, but I was able to carry a ranked game. It was rather ridiculous, the heimer I laned against never got any HP items, let me free farm, and pretty much kill him whenever I wanted (only killed him twice in lane though). When the enemies had a chance to stop me early, they didn't, which let me be a beast and carry my team. Up until the last teamfight where we ended it, I had 20 kills out the 26 total. http://i.imgur.com/NFRg2.jpg | ||

AP with stuns? Flat MRes Glyphs, Flat MRes Quints, 0/21/9, open regrowth, rush philo -> Merc's + Wit's End. Garen early game is Garen early game. Irelia can very easily spec and build to never lose a lane to Garen and by the time she gets wriggle's, he can't do fucking anything. Irelia 1v1 murders Nidalee midgame AND is stronger in teamfights (by a mile too, it's not even close). Nidalee gives more mobility but, w/e, it's fucking Nidalee. Jax's "unstoppable" late game is something I've still yet to fucking see. Most overrated phase on any character ever. Irelia does more in your standard teamfight than Jax will and doesn't require you to build an entire fucking team around all-inning on Jax's lategame. I dunno man, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say. When I play Irelia, I feel like I cannot lose a lane hard enough to hurt my team because I can build whatever I need to stop the opposing damage and just get my farm and then in teamfights I can alternately peel and kill tanks or dive and kill carries regardless of my build at that point in time due to her crazy ass kit. | ||

Every Irelia counter is a soft counter. It's shit like, "Nasus will also free farm and farmed Nasus is probably a little better than farmed Irelia," or like, "Pantheon will be up 20 CS by 10 minutes before Irelia catches up and starts zoning him," or like, "Teemo will put damage on Irelia's tower if she doesn't get gank presence when he overextends." That's why I love her when I have to blind first pick top lane. There are a number of counters, but none of them are as fucking retarded as stuff like GP >>>> Nasus, Lee Sin >>>>>> Akali, or <Generic good solo lane ranged carry> >>>>>>>> Singed. | ||

I agree, but a Nasus with 300+ on Q before 20min is pretty freaking scary =/ Better question is - their team first picks Irelia, who would be your pick against her? Nasus would be near the top of that list (depending on team comp). | ||

I don't know if this is still the case, but Rumble, Renekton, Malzahar, and Caitlyn (trap whore and range abuse) were all heroes that that I found more difficult to deal with 4-5 months ago. I understand that Rumble has been nerfed. Not sure about the others. | ||
