Irelia Build Guide by DEWO

@ ShadowReign757
Yea she is master of turning tables :) I just love how many diferent stuff she can do, she is extremaly flexible :P

@ jackmind
You always played with Sorc or after reading this guide? Question for my e-peen :P

@ TMiracle
I also play as Nightblade Irelia :P
On the issue. Against 2 ranged champs (unless it is a heavy stun **** like Taric/Sion/Panth) try to get as many lasthits with Bladesurge as possible. Be passive only lasthit and dont mind wasting mana on it. As soon as you get lvl 6, either port back and buy stuff and go mid/other lane or just on lvl 6 go straight for mid and gank. You cant get kills on your lane? get some from other :P Dont stick to your lane if it is not under constant tower preasure. Just make sure your lane partner does not do stupid **** 2v1 :P.

@ Kamehamahaa
Thx for comment. I know this playstyle can be user unfriendly, not everyone likes this, but i would realy like to hear what was the problem in your matter. I might cover that up in the guide and even make this guide better for ppl like you, who not nessesary like it in the 1st place. -1 comments are VERY helpfull. Thx.

@ TMiracle
I Like bladesurge since the 1st lvl is always the longest one to get :P and i like to lasthit as many creeps as possible to get gold advantage so i spend alot of mana in begining. E is purely designed for chaps which lowers the overall value of the skill in the start. I will stick with surge.
On the gameplay, well if you played her a bit diferent than it will take some time untill you get fully used to the new playstyle. I like hard to master champs... well easy to play hard to master was the key to succes as a warlock in WoW too so...

@ Flodgaard
I REALY hope those words will come true. She is such an amazing champ, dunno why ppl dont play her :P And that was one of the prios on getting this guide done :)

@ Krazah
She is not sick i just gave her some pills, she is geting better but the fever is still high :P

Answer to your last post DEWO.
Yeah, I found Irelia soooo fun to play and it will be definitelly stick as my main forever, also I almost finnished rune set, I'm just lvl 23 now, but even at matches when all ppl are lvl 30 i mostly carry whole team anyways. Everyday my scores are just getting better and better ^^
For example today i had VERY hard match, we were playing whole hour, and oppossing team were premades with 3 skins (and skin means that it isn't just for look, normally people skin their main champs, and have significant amount of more experience while playing them), they were lvl 30 also, and as always I carried my team, second best player in my team had just 10 kills, others had lower kill count than death, while i had 24/12/13 (i know, lots of deaths, it's not normal for me, i mostly get 14/0/13, 12/0/9 and so on, but still, their team was: mordekaiser, tryndamere, miss fortune, kennen and pantheon, i don't know if this is a good team or no, but that was one of the hardest matches ever O_O).
I use E first just because I really don't like to waste mana early game, since when you go for kill and target runs from you just because your'e oom is just frustrating ._. Well actually i use E skill as first not for damage, but solely because of slow/stun, well i don't get FB's much, but at least we chop ~80% opponents hp, and so we dominate the lane for first few waves, which helps me to save mana as i don't need to hug turret and can last hit with auto attacks, also hitting with auto attack is a lot better thanks to that swordie.
Well it's not much difference actually :>
But on the other hand... I found myself in problems with farming, it's not like I can't or something... but once I get into killing ppl, my minion slays sudenly freeze, so most of the time i got lowest minion kill amount, but my kills = 50%+ team kills, so o well, that's nice also xDD
I can't even describe how much I improved on Irelia durring these past days, and I hope to master her even better, for now, no matter how screwed my team and match is, my KD ration is never below 1 :P

Btw, are you playing in US or EU? I would like to play a match or two with you someday ;D

P.S. I found myself also sometimes swithing item sequence, as i take banshee's before infinity if opposing team consists of mages only, banshee is just godly O_O

p.s.2 sorry about such a long post and boasting about myself, I'm just really excited and I just can't STFU as I have looong writing addiction xD

My art is my deadliest weapon... :P

"and skin means that it isn't just for look, normally people skin their main champs, and have significant amount of more experience while playing them"

Or they are from germany and have too much money so they buy all champs with skin packages :)

As you probably saw i dont mind long comments since i do it myself.

i play EU. If you are lucky enaugh to catch me with a free spot... who knows :)

The item sequence is just an idea of what you should go for. If its needed i oftenly even get Thornmail to stand with heavy dps champs like Tryn/Yi/Ash so if you need a tweak than tweak it :)

@ snakslar
What is exactly the problem with early game? if you could write.

now i hate this game, got 6 defeats in a row just becasue... ALL THE TIME I'M PLACED WITH ******S, 3 matches in a row with leaver on our side, and in others, some kind of idiots say "sorry guys, I'm playing fiddle first time" then they go 0/13 with epic ulti skills at completely empty ground... this is just ridiculous -____-

this is completely off-topic, but i had to say how much i hate ******s in this game... >__<

Even so i kinda manage to get K/D 1+ unless there are 2 leaers which happens kinda often too -__-
Btw thanks for thornmail advice, since i ran into huuuuuge problems when dealing with tryn and yi (i hate yi so much, he's such a lame char, all skills you need to play him is just that you need to learn how to hold right mouse button, so lame -__-), and I actually wanted to ask how to deal with them, but o well, you already answered that XDD
