Matchup should be free, you should be able to run him down, hold your Qs for his swings and chains and it should be free. Bramble if your struggling
Ahri
Dodge the CC and run them down you should be fine
Akali
Can be cancer if shes good. Land your E and get max stacks and you should be able to kill her. If she has ult or she landed E on you and youre under half HP you are dead. You can try to all in but she will always have a disengage for it with her E, W, R1 and R2 and Hextech if she builds that so keep that in mind when trying to all in because she can outpoke you if you don't play it well.
Akshan
If you Q casters and hold your E for his grapple you should be able to stun him out of it and run him down. If you whiff the E or he gets his grapple off he can spew out a lot of damage and you can lose the trade so keep that in mind. Note: Go behind tower and ally minions if he ults you to block it
Alistar
Bork and hes free haha
Amumu
Bork and run him down. You can run him down early game too he wont do enough to kill you if you have max stacks. Note: He can do more damage than you might expect.
Anivia
Dodge the CC and run them down you should be fine. Merc treds and Wits end are good ideas.
Annie
They can actually blow you up if youre not careful, especially after lvl 6. Land your E and run them down should be free. Note: Much harder on mid lane.
Aphelios
Hit your E and run them down
Ashe
Hit your E and run them down.
Aurelion Sol
Q onto him with stacks, hold E for his flight. If he's good hes never gonna fight you and just roam for kills so always look to stop his roams and dives. Teleport is recommended since the lane is pretty easy.
Azir
Freeze and kill him. After LVL 6 it will be much harder to kill him because he can just throw you under his tower with his ult and will just farm and outscale you. Most azir players aren't this good though lol.
Bard
Free. Hes gonna be roaming which means a free lane for you or hes gonna be in lane which means hes a free kill for you. Lose/lose for him
Bel'Veth
Dont have enough info about this since I dont see them ever top lane but lowkey can be scary if theyre good enough. Can out damage you and heavily outscale you. Stun them out of their shieldy form and it SHOULD be free? Idk just be careful with this matchup.
Blitzcrank
Dont let him cheese you under tower and he has literally 0 threats towards you.
Brand
Dodge / Tank the CC and run them down when theyre out of tower and you should be fine
Braum
haha
Briar
4 stacks + ignite you should win
dont let her stun your q and dont let her E you into a wall, its very easy to dodge hold your q for it if you know she has it.
Caitlyn
Dodge the CC and run them down you should be fine
Camille
W her Es, Q to dodge her Ws and dont do small trades, she WILL win them. You should win the all in everytime once you get comfortable with this matchup but this is still a skill matchup in the end. If theyre really good they can dodge your ult with their ult, so try to bait their ult before using yours or use it if their low HP and forced to engage you with theirs.
Cassiopeia
Hit your E and run them down. Beware of LVL 6 because she can absolutely shred you if you're under literally under any stun time which makes you very gank prone.
Cho'Gath
After BORK this is free lane. He can outstatcheck you if he lands all his abilities on you, especially after LVL 6. Bait Q and dodge it and you should win the all in.
Corki
Hit your E and run them down. He can dash away so you could also save your E for that, but he really can't do anything to you except for poke.
Darius
4 Stacks with ignite you win the pure AA statcheck, issue is it isnt a pure AA statcheck. If he E's your Q you lose, if he Qs you, you lose, if you dont kill him in time and mess up a combo or a disengage/engage you lose. Extremely volatile matchup for both of you its who explodes who first. After first 2 deaths play under tower like a ***** and pray to god your team isnt **** (dont worry they are).
Diana
Easy rundown, shes gonna play for poking you. If you get a good freeze E + Q + AA + Q you should practically always win the all in. After 6 she can be scary, but if you land your abilities it should be free.
Dr. Mundo
Funny mundo. he will win after 30 minutes unless your turbo fed so just keep that in mind. You win every statcheck so try to setup a freeze. You dont need ignite for this matchup just build antiheal. His goal is to try and poke you to death under tower, he hates you.
Draven
Hit your E and run them down, he can stun you and can do quite a bit of damage so just don't be braindead with your engages and it should be free.
Ekko
Dont let him poke you for free with his Q / hob + E. You should outstatcheck him literally everytime dont let him roam and dont let him short trade you since he excells in the short trades.
Elise
Never seen this champ in lane before but in theory you should be able to dodge her CC and run her down and it should be easy.
Evelynn
In lane she is a joke because she is pretty useless until Lvl6, just dont get poked / stunned by her for no reason. Just all in her and shes dead.
Ezreal
Hit your E and run them down, he has built in flash so you might wanna save it for that. Either way should be free.
Fiddlesticks
Tank his CC and E his W so he doesnt heal for free. Should be free, dont just stand in his ult for free since thats his only way of killing you. Note: he does have potential in roaming and ulting your teammates so keep that in mind.
Fiora
Notice where your vitals are, if she hits them you lose. The bad thing about irelia is when you Q you make it EXTREMELY easy for her to hit your vitals so GG lol. If she parries your E your **** lol. Outside of the vitals you win the full statcheck so just play better xd. If you have a vital pointing towards her dont bother trading and also dont get close enough for her to poke you with it.
Fizz
You can W his full combo and if you have 4 stacks you should be able to win most of the time. Even though this is a winning lane this champ still gives me cancer since good ones will never take losing trades against you and always have some stupid getaway after procing electrocute on you.
Galio
Hes better into AP heavy champs, stun him out his ult if you ever see him using it and W his E to soak up the damage.
Gangplank
If hes good its EXTREME most gps arent at this level ive only fought one. You need to land everything perfectly, baiting orange is essential since the stun makes a huge difference. Make sure you take ignite, dont let him poke you without punishment.
Garen
Dont fight him in his E its never worth it unless youre up on HP and he doesnt have R, if he Q + Es hes a very mechanically gifted garen player so be VERY afraid. You win statchecks just remember you have the funny button and he has a second HP bar.
Gnar
Free, run him down when hes in small form, you can also hold E for his jump. When hes in big form don't fight him unless you're very confident you can kill him. Once you have BORK this is FREE!!!
Gragas
Mid gragas is extreme Top gragas is even. Dont let him E your Q engage by baiting it, if hes good hes literally never gonna let you engage. Dodge his Q poke and post 6 always keep in mind he can knock you anywhere he wants, so if he has R near his tower be wary.
Graves
Hit your E and run them down
Gwen
Skill matchup, dont let her Q poke you for free, remember she can E (dash) into a Q poke so treat her as if shes a ranged character a lot of the time. If you can play around her Q she has nothing else in her kit she can kill you with, so either wait for her to put it on CD and sidestep it when you can since your W wont ignore the true damage.
Hecarim
Never played against this top before, but in theory he can do quite a bit of damage, so just get 4 stacks and all in him. Just all in him.
Heimerdinger
Q his turrets and all in him. He hates you.
Hwei
Dodge / Tank the CC and run them down you should be fine. He will do a lot more damage than you think and can outscale you so make sure you be careful with being poked,
Illaoi
Ignite her, if theres a tentacle near her she wins. If she Rs she wins, if she has more than 30% hp and she Es you she wins, outside of that this lane teaches you patience really well. If your new this is extreme the better you get the easier it gets.
Irelia
My queen ♥
W her E AA Q AA Q AA then just repeat what she did to you just keep in mind her W. Whoever trades better first wins and whoever lands E first wins.
Ivern
Dodge the CC and run them down you should be fine. Level 6 he can actually do some damage but you should still win if you dont play braindead.
Janna
Dodge the CC and run them down you should be fine. She has ult to knock you away but who cares.
Jarvan IV
Never played into this before, in theory he shouldn't be much of a threat. W his flag knock up and then full combo him and you ?should? win in theory. Again I'm not super confident since i've never personally played against it with my irelia.
Jax
Early game decides this lane after 10-15 minutes he just wins with trinity you cant kill him unless your insanely up on him. If you want to win this lane kill him pre-5 with ignite and 4 stacks, he can win if he lands his E. his E if CRUCIAL. if he lands his E he wins, if he whiffs it or wastes all in it with ignite and you win.
Jayce
Hes gonna try knock you mid Q, if he does it makes it much harder for you to kill him. Outside of that its still a pretty free statcheck, dont get poked for free. You can W his melee combos aswell.
Jhin
Hit your E and run them down.
Jinx
Free lane, Hit your E and run them down
K'Sante
Champ is braindead, insanely op in lane with stats but he just loses the game cuz his teamfights are garbage and his roams are trash. He has no goal he cant split he cant teamfight at all, all he can do is smash your *** in in lane. With 4 stacks and ignite you should win every time, care his Q3+R or Q3+W to pull you into tower / pull you out of it.
Kai'Sa
Hit your E and run them down
Kalista
Hit your E and run them down. Her poke hurts alot.
Karma
Tank the CC and run them down you should be fine
Karthus
freeest lane in the game, if he ever kills you, all hope is lost for you.
Kassadin
Skill matchup. Try kill him PRE6 because his lvl6 power spike is disgusting. You should be able to run him down with your E Q AA combo, but if you let him scale even a slight bit you lost the game for your team. Lanes pretty easy but his scaling is cancer to play against.
Katarina
Skill matchup, VERY Irelia favored, but she has a lot of outplay potential against you. Dont let her poke you for free and run her down when you can. If her ult hits a point to where it does damage, just W the whole thing but most of the time you can just 4 stack her to death while shes ulting.
Kayle
XD this chick can do nothing to you. Her whole strat against you is "dont die", make the lane cancer for her and dont let her scale she cant kill you.
Kayn
Red kayn is annoying, blue kayn is easy. You can melee outstatcheck him most of the time, using W to soak up his Q W combos isn't a bad idea. E him out of walls just to be annoying lol
Kennen
Kennen hates this lane but remember he both has a stun and a dash in one move. If you play around that he can rarely ever kill you unless you let him poke you for free. W his stuns.
Kha'Zix
W when he does his leap combo on you then E Q AA combo and you win, easy. If you dont W his combo he can do a **** ton of damage especially if you're isolated dont underestimate it.
Kindred
Hit your E and run them down. If she ults, E her at the end of her ult so you dont get killed at the end of it when your low.
Kled
OP champ, you can statcheck him if he whiffs Q but otherwise dont bother fighting him. I rarely ever get to play this lane but when I do its not fun at all unless hes really bad and whiffs his Q.
Kog'Maw
Hit your E and run them down
LeBlanc
You melee statcheck her, but her goal is to kill you in two bursts, if shes ahead call it wraps. Top its minor, Mid its major /extreme.
Lee Sin
Can statcheck you if you dont have ignite. not really much to say.
Leona
haha. E combo and you win. Bork makes this extra hard for her.
Lillia
Dont fight level 1 unless youre good at the cheese. Shes a pain to go into normally but Irelia doesn't struggle with her a whole lot since her kit revolves around kiting you and irelia does hes silly E Q :3.
Lissandra
She can make your life hell. Disengage, tons of CC. She will spam CC and use all her abilities but you should be able to sustain it all especially if you use your W. Shes still fairly squishy so it shouldn't be THAT hard of a lane but I still don't personally enjoy it.
Lucian
Hit your E and run them down
Lulu
Hit your E and run them down
Lux
Dodge the CC and run them down you should be fine
Malphite
Do you play any AP top? if no then perma ban this pos. super garbage op dumb reddit champ. If you cant kill him pre6 you lose completely and your team loses.
Malzahar
Beware of his LVL6, W or E him out of his shield before all-inning. Dont stand near minions that are about to die to his burn because it can be put on you as poke. take cleanse if you suck.
Maokai
You win early but he plays for team and setting up ganks. He can do more damage than you might expect. Dont let him proc grasp on you for no reason since his healing is ridiculous. Antiheal if your poopoo and dont be super predictable with your Qs since he can stun you out of your Qs.
Master Yi
if you have 4 stacks and ignite you win but make sure you hold your E for his W.
Milio
second freeest lane in the game.
Miss Fortune
Hit your E and run them down
Mordekaiser
Dodge Qs, if he lands them you lose and you die. This matchup is infinitely easier for him than it is for you. If you get hit by a singled out Q you lose completely.
Morgana
she runs and shes braindead and she can never kill you but shes better in teamfights
Naafiri
if shes fed u lose, just E her and run her down. Dont let her poke you for free with her Q, if she lands both Qs she can actually statcheck you some of the time. Q her dogs to give her cancer.
Nami
Hit your E and run them down
Nasus
wave management is your best friend. if you zone him off waves this matchup can be kind of playable . after he buys sheen you lose, this is classic irelia counterpick.
Nautilus
Can do more damage than you might expect. Should be free lane though.
Neeko
Dodge the CC and run them down you should be fine
Nidalee
Hit your E and run them down
Nilah
Never seen her outside of bot lane but I dont think she can win against your all-in. Q E her then kill her. She scales extremely well to the point where even if shes 0/40 she still will start getting kills at 20 minutes.
Nocturne
Can do more damage than you'd expect. Dash away from his fear laser and make sure you land the stun and you should be able to win the all-in if hes not up on you. He will start roaming and getting picks on your teammates so make sure you ping when hes missing or else you will lose the game for your team.
Nunu & Willump
Hit your E and run them down. Dont let him hit you by his mega snowball for free and make sure to stun him out of his ult and he should never be able to kill you.
Olaf
you statcheck him if you dont let him wittle you down. just dont play like a moron and let him solo kill you lvl 1. he outscales you heavy.
Orianna
Hit your E and run them down. Don't let her outscale you and don't let her poke you for free because that's what shes gonna be doing in lane.
Ornn
you statcheck him if hes out of tower but hes never gonna be out of tower because tank top laners are funny and le riot reddit games. Freeze wave then run him down, he has good gank setups too. His teamfights are infinitely better your team will hate you if you let him get ahead.
Pantheon
Winnable, dont let him wittle you down with his Q spam, you win the all-ins hes just gonna look to trade while you need to look for an allin. This matchup is cancer if hes good though.
Poppy
braindead reddit tank. dont q when she has the stupid circle around her and try to bait it. also dont stand near walls because if she stuns you you will lose 90% of your hp no matter what stage of the game your at and you will be stunned for 15 minutes. Outside of that its pretty easy lane shes gonna look for burst trades.
Pyke
He has lots of CC, dodge his hook try dodge his E and if you can't dodge it, W it. Dont let him hook you under tower, and be wary of his level 6. His ult is easy to dodge with your Q or flash but takes some good reaction time.
Qiyana
Skill matchup, VERY irelia favored. Max stacks E Q Q, You win. When shes level 6 she will want to hit you into a wall with her ult so she can combo you, if you can avoid it W the whole thing and then kill her.
Quinn
she hates you more than you hate her. you statcheck her everytime but if shes good she can E your Q, but its rare and hard especially if you make it hard to react to. She really shouldnt win this lane ever.
Rakan
easy
Rammus
dont auto when hes in his shell, otherwise its free.
Rek'Sai
you statcheck her but shes gonna run away and outsustain you and just be in general really annoying, dont underestimate the damage but dont overestimate it either. Also remember she has funny reddit execute so dont stand around her if your like under 50% hp.
Rell
dumb tank
Renata Glasc
easy
Renekton
renek favored. He outtrades you, outdamages you, even outignites you. If you want to win you have to play really well baiting Qs, if he has his blood meter up you can just kind of ignore him because its like a darius Q tipper. You can W his W, and you can also E it if youre really good. Champs bunz tho rn.
Rengar
W his engages and statcheck him. His midgame is poopoo when hes not fed, so try your best not to feed him early. If its a good rengar good luck lmao hes gonna give you a lot of cancer.
Riven
She wins lvl 1, lvl 2 you can win with a good allin, 3-5 its riven favored, post 6 its irelia favored if you can flash her ult. If you cant react to her ult or she sets it up well its joever. Tbh this lane is very fun so try not to int too hard because she cant do much if she doesnt have a huge lead.
Rumble
You win, aslong as you do the classic ignite 4 stack all in you win everytime.
Ryze
he outscales you but you wreck him in lane. wave management is your friend here because a lane freeze means he literally cant farm.
Samira
Hit your E and run them down. She can W your E so try to bait it. Even if you don't bait it successfully she cant really do enough damage to you until level 6.
Sejuani
Never seen this pick in lane before, should be free especially after BORK.
Senna
Dodge the CC and run them down you should be fine
Seraphine
Kill the *****
Sett
If he lands W you lose, if he lands E Q you lose, if he ignites you, you lose, if he breathes in your direction, you lose. Fun matchup though, I recommend to /deafen before you get flamed unironically.
Shaco
Dont chase him, you statcheck him, he only wins if you follow him into bushes like a moron. His lane is garbage because he has no mana and no damage.
Shen
He wins against your all in unless hes really stupid. Even if you win in lane your team will hate you since a handless hamster can play this champion and win games with it top lane.
Shyvana
This champs bunz now after the nerfs. Shes gonna look to poke you, and proc PTA. You just win the statcheck aslong as you didnt get poked out.
Singed
Follow your first minion wave against singed and sion. Dont chase unless you hit him with E then he should be free to kill if you hold your second Q for his E. He can do more damage than you'd expect but you outstatcheck him and he won't be able to proxy you if you get him low enough / get jgl help.
Sion
Follow your first minion wave against singed and sion. You win the statcheck but he outscales you heavily after around 10-20 minutes depending on how fed he is. Respect bush cheese thats his only way of killing you and respect his tower since his W is basically a mini HP bar.
Sivir
Hit your E and run them down
Skarner
trash ahh champ
bummy ahh rework bring back old skarner on baby
Smolder
E him out of his flight and you have a dead little dragon.
Sona
Hit your E and run them down
Soraka
Hit your E and run them down. Shes probably gonna have exhaust and wait for you to do some dome dive. Just dont play like a dumbaz and you should be fine and ping when shes missing because she honestly has some crazy roaming potential / ult potential.
Swain
Hit your E and run them down, this matchup is cancer for him because you can dodge literally all of his abilites. Lvl 6 he might? be able to kill you but you should be able to disengage if you coordinate minions well enough. Think of it as a really bad nasus ult. Dont give him stacks for free either. BORK = free lane.
Sylas
All ins you win, if you let him burst you down you lose.
Syndra
Hit your E and run them down. She has a stun so don't get knocked back for no reason. This matchup is MUCH harder midlane because her plan is to wait and outscale you and shred your team. Still a pretty easy lane though.
Tahm Kench
Pre6 you have a chance if hes kind of bad and you dont let him land Qs, Minions are your friend here. If he has ignite call it wraps and if he gets like even 1 kill ahead you lose this lane completely.
Taliyah
Ranged champ that can counter you if shes good enough. This is still very irelia favored though and you should be able to outsustain all of her combos. Dont get poked for no reason then all in and you should be able to kill her after a few all ins. If shes good shes gonna make it very hard for you.
Talon
Skill matchup, theres a lot to learn. W his engage and your full combo should out stat check him. You also have a better level 1 and 3, level 2 I wouldn't recommend since you need all you're abilities to outstatcheck him. He has crazy roaming potential so make sure to ping when hes missing.
Taric
Braindead champ. He can spew out more damage than you might expect but in a lane 1v1 he really is useless. Watch out for his jgler helping him think like a worse maokai or a worse malphite,
Teemo
Teemo hates this matchups, for you its meh. If you hit your E Q combo he should be dead or losing the trade so dont worry about this too much. Should be a free lane if you dont let him poke you. Sweepers (Oracle lens) recommended for his shroom.
Thresh
haha. Can do more damage than you might expect. Dodge his Q if he hits you, you can W his whole Q + E + R combo and just all in him. After Bork this is free.
Tristana
Hit your E and run them down. She might do more damage than you might expect, so be wary if she has exhaust or some cheese for you.
Trundle
you wont ever kill him. you can try around lvl 4-5 if your confident but just take TP and enjoy the farming simulator
Tryndamere
pray to papi RNG and pray he doesnt get those random crits. One of the only champs that can statcheck you in a AA battle. Also remember his R after 6, a good way of tracking it is comparing it your R cd.
Twisted Fate
Run him down he has 1 CC and thats not enough to stop you early game. Ping when you know he has ult and is gonna roam to mid / bot / jgl.
Twitch
Hit your E and run them down
Udyr
hes squishy enough to where you can kill him but he always has some random bs up his sleeve. I have no idea honestly, if its lethality he will prob statcheck you, otherwise it should be free lane.
Urgot
fat bald idiot i hate him
if he lands E on you he wins no matter what, otherwise if you can make him whiff it you can statcheck him just care about his execute and make it annoying for him to pop all of his leg guns by matching his movements.
Varus
Hit your E and run them down
Vayne
Hit your E and run them down, keep in mind she has her knockback so dont get hit into a wall, and if your forced to be hit into a wall try to W it. You can outsustain most of her damage and all in her, so if your struggling with Vayne top this is a really good pick.
Veigar
His cage is his only threat to you. Hit your E and run them down.
Vel'Koz
Hit your E and run them down
Vex
Rush Merc treads. This is a skill matchup but vex favored learn to dodge her abilities and bait her fear / anti dash before going in. Once you learn this matchup it becomes much easier since her doom / gloom interactions need some learning to figure out.
Vi
She can actually statcheck tf out of you, especially lvl 1, dont let her LVL 1 cheese you. If you land your E you should win the all-in. If she ults you you can W her full combo. Shes gonna try and Q you out of your Qs so see if you can read / bait it.
Viego
Skill matchup, irelia sided. Dont take short trades. You can W his stun since its easy to see when hes about to do it. He can Q through waves you should win most all-ins.
Viktor
Free, dont get stunned its easy to dodge.
Vladimir
Skill matchup, dont let him farm. Dumb champ hes gonna pool away when you try hit him with your combo, he doesn't really threaten you though until level 6 or if you let him poke you for free with his blood stacks.
Volibear
You can statcheck him only when his E is on cooldown and when you DONT have a W mark on you. Ignite and 4 stacks is good just really try to dodge his E and dont fight him if hes procced W on you already, try to wait it out or kill him before the cooldown finishes.
Warwick
funny dog. hes gonna bait you into thinking hes low and then hes gonna 100-0 you in triple stacked minion wave. If he hits you with the fear E you lose, if he hits you with R you lose, if you dont have antiheal you lose, if he has hands you lose. Goodluck soldier!
Wukong
braindead monkey i hate this stupid champ just statchecks you for 40 minutes. literally never playable
Xayah
Hit your E and run them down
Xerath
Dodge the CC and run them down you should be fine
Xin Zhao
Never seen this pick top, but actually seems pretty scary if they play it right. He has really good short trades and a CC so if you see him do the spin AAs make sure to W it before you get CCd. All-ins should be in your favor, especially after 6 and BORK.
Yasuo
this is a harder lane for him than it is for you. remember he can windwall your projectiles, you should win the statcheck every single time though especially with ignite.
Yone
you statcheck him, he hates you.
Yorick
i forget this matchup but it should be easy. Your Q should oneshot his ghouls making it really annoying for him to try and poke you, dont underestimate his damage and bring ignite for sure.
Yuumi
This is probably the hardest lane in the game for you. Bring Conq + Lethal + Ignite + Ghost + Teleport + Flash. Watch out for her split pushing potential she can oneshot towers and your whole team. If you want a chance of winning this lane I would recommend praying 15 times to the Yuumi and hope they concede the lane to you because otherwise this isn't winnable in the slightest. Respect her Q3 by dodging and if your in a fight and can't dodge it use your W to soak up his combo. Fight her when you have max stacks and you might have a chance of outstatchecking her. Once she gets her LVL6 you might aswell go take a piss in real life because the lane is already impossible to win for you, since she rezzes her whole team and kill all of yours. When she autos make sure she doesn't stack too many bleed stacks or else she might also stun you for 15 seconds and throw you under tower. Also be careful of her E because if you get her low she can be unkillable for 12 seconds while slowly healing to full. This champ is so god dang annoying.
Zac
rush BORK statcheck the goop, dont fall for the bait that is him being 1 hp, he is like reksai where he will just sustain the **** out of the lane. You can try and kill him but the lane just gets worse and worse as it goes on.
Zed
Skill matchup very irelia favored. W his combos and fight at max stacks and you should be able to kill him. His disengage is cancer and if hes good enough he'll just ignore you and kill all your teammates instead. Not fun even if you are winning.
Zeri
Hit your E and run them down, you can also E her out of her dash.
Ziggs
Hit your E and run them down
Zilean
Hit your E and run them down. Dont get poked for no reason.
Zoe
Hit your E and run them down
Zyra
Dodge the CC and land your E then run them down

Any Jungler with CC will be good enough setup for you.
