I don't like the build at all to be honest. I won't rate since this its not updated for season 4 but i definetaly feel like some work could be done on for example the item section. You should try out some different builds since if played perfectly, Irelia can win every lane, especially prior to diamond 1, but i feel like most of your item builds etc just aren't optimal for different lanes and situations.

Idk, I've never considered a Q max Irelia before, I don't know if it's good or not.

And Zephyr is insane on Irelia. :P

without merc treads, against an ad comp, I can certainly see it.

I just don't like it. :P

Irelia has to win the pre 9 levels hard for her to be able to beat Nasus, but she can do it. Levels 1-4 it's really really really easy to beat him down hard by just repeatedly Q'ing to a minion, E'ing him, and backing off. Even just Q > W stand there autoing him > E out wins you lane. If you can win lane hard enough you can zone him out of those first 50 or so minions, and that's a pretty big deal which can snowball the lane really hard. If Nasus plays agressive you can just use Q to CS and not miss any, which Nasus cannot do if he's harassing you. You also shouldn't underestimate her Q damage, I'd probably max Q against Nasus and go Triforce since like you say Wither negates all of your W damage. A Q > AA > E > AA combo still works though.

just saying, she can beat him.

you have a lot of spelling and grammar errors that need to be fixed, and I don't like Zephyr, but still a good guide that deserves the +1

Irelia has next to no poke though, ESPECIALLY against someone with as much sustain as Nasus. All she has is engagement. Her fighting is **** early-game without turned on, and the only stat scales on is attack speed, which is a complete counter to. If you try to "poke" him, he sustains it all back without breaking a sweat. If you try and fight him without turning on your W, he wins. If you try and fight him with your W on, he uses his W on you, and you both can't win, nor escape.

And even if you just afk farm and stay even in farm with him, he's still winning his lane because he gains more from each last-hit than you do. All you gain is gold, he gains gold and damage. By the end of the afk farming phase, you could come out with 3000 extra gold, and he could come out with 3000 extra gold and 400 extra Q damage. He wins.

He even temporarily nullifies you in team-fights, as you won't be doing **** with 5% attack speed.

Vapora Dark, I agree that Nasus's applies alot of attack speed defbuff. However, it's cooldown is 15,14,13,12,11 seconds. If he maxes it second he will have it at 11 seconds at level 13. At this point of time, all you have to do is wait for wither to finish and you harass back. Wither applies for 5 seconds, so at level 13, Irelia has 6 seconds of free poke allowing you to utilize fully. If nasus tries to farm, you merely poke at him until he pops wait for it to finish and poke again.

I like the use of blade of the ruined king over trinity force. I agree that it is more useful for Irelia than trinity force 90% of the time

I think the problem is more that Irelia needs that true damage, and that when she activates it, and nasus uses Wither, they end at nearly the same time and then Irelia's damage has a huge falloff. So, Irelia can only trade really well when Nasus engages the trade, which is something that will barely happen.Also, you forgot the 40% CDR most nasus players will have at some point
I do think that Irelia is pretty good against Nasus, just because she can beat Nasus all game long (since Irelia barely falls of into lategame) and nasus only wins in like 50+ minute games.

True Vynertje, I can see your point of view. Thus, this lane becomes more of a free-farm lane until gets damage from bork/wit's end or other attack speed item. Most players activate right when I use but that is usually after I get 2 hits out. The major factors in this lane would be, who has more mana, and which jungler ganks more. If has mana, while is ooom, then can easily take down . The same applies vice versa. However, from my perspective, can wait until applies , take a couple of hits here and there, and THEN deal damage to him. However, even if wait for to activate , deals alot of damage just with Bork and wit's end.

Ultimately, if does not win early game, she wins mid-game/late-game from her massive farm, but the enemy poses a threat to your carries since he will have farmed his Q to an extent.
