[25.17] Irelia Guide - (69% wr in Challenger with this)

By Houcs
Introduktion
Hello, I hit Challenger with Irelia only with a 69% wr. I share major things here that I used to get there. As you probally know Irelia is a bit mechanical, but tbh. Mechanically im not too good on her. Irelking is way better. But you dont have to play perfection in order to make her work, Remember that.

The guides I saw on Irelia I feel didnt cover everyhing. Like some didnt include tips on matchup, just said skilled based. Which ofc can hold true. But I thought it was important to share my view of all the matchups...

I believe I have concluded most of what I know on Irelia. Hope you find this guide helpful, and ask anything in the comments and I will be happy to answer you!
Why should you play Irelia?
Irelia is a high skill celing champ. Even for myself I can still improve alot on her. She is really fun, high action gameplay. But she can make most of her matchups doable if you play good enough. It's also hard to nerf this champion so she will always be viable depending on your skills :).
Pros and cons
Pros
Really strong early - mid and late game
Good teamfight abilities.
Strong with wave.
High dmg and tanky

Cons:
Weak outside wave in 1v1. (if you dont get 4 stacks)
Hard to play
CC comp makes her hard to play aswell as high armor champs
Can be punsihed lvl 1 by many champs.
MANA PROBLEMS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE
Something that you really need to understand on Irelia is her Q dmg. She has 5 different stages with her Q. at lvl 9 you max it and you often can one shot back line minions with it if you have bork but sometimes without. These stages is something I can't really explain or it will be too long. So best thing I recommend if you want success with Irelia is to learn and focus on how much your Q dmg does throughout the lvls. I played her many games so I understand them really well so I don't usually make mistake where I Q and it doesnt reset on the minion.

If that were to happen you can in most cases end up dying.
Tips and tricks
You can use your Q to escape even if it doesnt reset on the minion. Sometimes you can just use it monster camps in the jungle. Can be really useful.

Try Q a minion and keep your mouse pointer on it and use E1 to hide it. This will make your opponent not paying attention to when you use E because he doesnt really see the animation. I use this trick all the time. It can also be used from when you are hiding in a bush where you are out of vision.

Use W on minions is a great way to setup your wave for your Q.

Don't use your R on the wave and then use W on the wave. There is high chances you one shot the wave and then you won't have anything to jump to.

W can sometimes be used quickly to gain a stack for you. E - Q - W - Q will get you 4 stacks quickly if without wave.

Q can be used as a animation cancel.

Using your R first and then E will make it easier to land your E because there isn't much room for your opponent to escape to.

Using E,W and then Q is a great way to push in a wave.
