The only thing annoying about Aatrox is that he can cancel your Q with his Q. Other than that, it should be pretty easy to land stuns and kill him.
Darius
Just do the level 1 Cheese ignite lmao easy af matchup. People over-estimate Darius but really he's not that strong.
Camille
A good Camille can shut down an Irelia. Learn how to play around her E and W and you should be able to win the lane. Your W doesn't work on her Q cause it deals true damage.
Gangplank
Same as darius, abuse his immobility and just bully him in lane.
Jayce
A good Jayce will know how to poke and kite away from Irelia. Learn to abuse when his E (Hammer form) is on cooldown and that's when you all in him.
Gnar
A very annoying matchup, Gnar can kite forever and it will be very hard for you to kill him. I recommend doing the level 1 cheese and then don't try killing him until level 6. Frozen Mallet can help him shut down his mobility.
Akali
Akali can't do much to Irelia so just counter roam and bully her every time she tries to cs.
Jax
Jax can cut through Irelia's W and is also a very sticky champ. W his E and then try fighting him with ulti.
Garen
A very annoying matchup since he can silence you with Q and just stack up his grasp. Fight him whenever his Q is down and don't take the full damage of E. W doesn't work with his R
Kled
I don't recommend fighting him after level 1. Always fight him when your ult is up and his W is down. your W doesn't work against his W.
Nasus
Very easy matchup. Punish him when he goes for minions in the early game and don't leave top EVER.
Poppy
Just be patient and wait for W to go down.
Dr. Mundo
This is why you go ignite and not teleport. Just level 1 cheese and you should be fine.
Ornn
Very easy matchup for Irelia. Just W the CC and all in him at any level.
Sion
Sion has been very consistent even when he's feeding (hence, inting sion) so always hard push so he doesn't get to the tower.
Renekton
Just W his full combo. Never waste W in this matchup or else you're gonna lose.
Tahm Kench
Unsually, yes. Tahm is a very hard matchup and i recommend farming a lot. Don't use level 1 Cheese cause it will backfire and Teleport is better in this matchup.
Zed
If the Zed is smart, he will play around you and try not to get close. Abuse him when his W is on cooldown and don't waste W.
Riven
Same as gangplank.
Urgot
Do the level 1 cheese and then abuse him at lane when you kill him. Not much of a challenge tbh.
Fiora
A good Fiora is sometimes very hard to manage, playing smart is the best key. Don't waste W and bait her W.
Yasuo
Use the level 1 cheese and it should be an easy lane. Expect getting camped.
Galio
Galio top doesn't appear much often cause he's more viable at mid.
Illaoi
Avoid getting hit by E and tentacles. Annoying but manageable.
