WHo is the strongest counter to Irelia?

[quote=Moonedge][quote=Keondre] Irelia basically out sustains everyone at top lane. To be fair, [[Kayle]] beats almost every top laner and I have beaten a few [[Irelia]]s in top lane. I'd also say that solo top AD [[Nidalee]] can beat her. [[Irelia]] is difficult to handle, but with the right champion, build, runes/masteries, she can be beat.. [/quote] What she means to say is really: [quote=Keondre] If you know how to play and aren't a drooling toddler, if you play someone with any amount of sustain, or even people without sustain; Irelia is only strong late-game, so pushing her out early is very smart. Someone good at skirmishing like Riven, Fiora, Olaf, Nasus, Nautlilus, Udyr, Kayle, Nidalee, Tryndamere, Master Yi, Mundo, Renekton, Karma, Soraka, Karthus, Morde, Rumble, Darkterror, Furion, Balanar, Crixalis, Pudge, Lina, Rylai, Tiny, Lyralei, Knight Davion, Yurnero, Axe, Anti-Mage, N'aix, Spongebob, Exodia, SsethTzeennach, Dyrus, Renekton Bot, Dufftime, Morello, Tupac. Anyone really.[/quote]

[quote=Phil15]Yeah early game anyone one can beat her in lane I mean anyone but in mid and late game there she can penta you my friends :P[/quote]

[quote=EvilDice]idk why people think that irelia is godmode unstoppable late game. she's pretty average late game for a bruiser. easy to kite, easy to kill, but can kill in a hurry. irelia is such a strong pick because of her laning, not her late game. her late game is fine, but it's not godmode unstoppable like everyone seems to think it is.[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]ppl just see fed irelias all the time. that's it.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden][quote=PsiGuard] ^and rune against him. Rumble doesn't like building magic pen. [quote=Pølsemanden] Wukong with penetration runes deals really well with her(to mention something not already mentioned) Also he's super fun and pretty decent at escaping ganks if enemy junglier does gank. [/quote] Sounds sketchy to me. Wukong has no way to sustain his health and isn't exactly a supreme duelist. I don't see the Wukong winning that matchup without some jungler help assuming both players have roughly equal skill. Wukong's burst might win him some early trades, but Irelia can just sustain until she outscales him. [/quote] His early game burst makes the lane really hard for irelia post 6 his ulty(knockup which isn't mitigated by tenacity) helps in assisting ganks. If jax is banned he's my Pick to deal with her.[/quote]

[quote=Zoto888]Anyone who can stomp on her face and stop her farming. The one person I would say Blitz does well top against.[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]I would personally run [[Malphite]] and rush a early [[Warden's mail]].[/quote]

[quote=Turbo Punz]Anybody with stun or silence I guess[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]Anyone with a wardens mail[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]thread went downhill fast, oh man... Funniest post is saying it's free win for Nasus. *facepalm*[/quote]
