you are a strong pick against him all in him in level 4 and he will easily die
Gnar
very easy match up for you your cooldown is much more less than him you normal combo aka q to low hp minion stun and auto then q when he jumps will take mostly more than half of his hp and his jump on a high cooldown so you can deny him farm easily just 1 tip if he turn to mega gnar RUN !
Akali
pretty simple lane if she is ap your damage is higher but her poke is better just back get a shen and a pink and all in her she will be dead or flash when she come back try to protect your pink or poke her down if she try to destroy it but if he is tanky she will be a problem as she has better sustain and lower cooldowns in long term fights so try to not fight her alone if she is tank ( sunfire iceborn ... etc)
Yasuo
this is your dream lane the easiest match up you can get just be passive till your level 4 and from this point forward you can destroy him pretty easily once you complete your try force you can kill him without even using ultimate
Swain
simply like vlad play passive stay away from his bird as much as you can cs safe till level 4 and then give him a little surprise butt ***
Garen
garen is easy lane cuz you need only 1 trick to win against him in early levels he will try to jump on you with his q then auto all you need to do it just stun him in the middle of his jump and give him 1 to 2 autos and you will win the trades at level 3 you can stand and fight him just be careful as his ult deals so much damage and do not miss time and stun him during his e cuz then you stun will be useless
Malphite
very boring lane his e decrease your attack speed so much so you can not kill him fast but if you can get a little early lead you will make him explode just ask for one early gank and he is so done
Aatrox
this match up funny because it is bad for both champs one simple mistake and the lane is over this is lane who takes the first kill snowballs over the other but irelia can kill him easily after 6
Ekko
tank ekko is nerfed now so he is not a huge problem to irelia since triforce buffs your best shot to kill him is from lvl 3 to 6 if you are smart you can get 1 to 2 kills in these levels try to wait for him to make mistake of using his w wrong it is cooldown is pretty high if he make this mistake punish him hard !
Jax
irelia beats jax hard in early game as usual play safe till level 3 or 4 and from this moment to level 11 you will 100% of the fights after that he will start to out damage you as he builds more damage items and gets life steal while you do not
Gangplank
a very annoying lane to deal with if the gb is any where near good his poke is very good and can zone you with barrels and reach you even if you play safe his ult slows and his w removes your stun but overall you out damage him hard try to not die to him and play safe till you complete your phage and shen then you can out kill him easily but be careful a simple mistake will lead to your death so play it wisely
Nasus
at this type of match ups we start to call for the jungler a good nasus player can make you tilt very hard his passive make him sustain very good and will heal for most of your damage you need to get and early kill on him by any means if you can get a very early phage or shen nasus will be over you best shots on him is form level 1 to 4 unlike any match up here you start your aggressive play very early start e and when he try to stack stun and try to aa him as much as possible level 2 open q and do the same thing if he use his w on you q to him and one last auto attack if you do this perfectly he will have like 2 bars left and if your jungler listen to you and come then it is over
Kayle
this match up here is not easy at all as kayle is very annoying to deal with she has splash damage and her q slows you down and she can speed her self up so she can poke you down very easily but still she still stands in the same postion of atrox the one of you 2 who gets the first kill will snow ball over the other play safe wait for the jungler and it will good just be careful from her late game she is a monster ! so try to shut her down early
Olaf
as most people say that he is her main counter i doubt it so much and here is why. olaf is a big threat for irelia from level 1 to 3 as he can run her down with his axes easily if she is not careful his passive is annoying he life steals alot and deals true damage as you. but when irelia hits level 4 she can trade with him very easily try to bait his w then stun him open your w and fight him you will be surprised with how easily you can fight him and when you reach lvl 8 you simply dominate him the problem starts at late game when he just simply does not die from anything just AN IMPORTANT TIP : do not say oh he is just 1 bar and i am 4 bars i can kill him easily he can still kill you with this one bar only do not run into him unless your q is up your q is the only thing saving you from him lifestealing on you
Riven
there is a battle going between the people of who wins between irelia and riven from my opinion it is a very skill match up irelia can dodge riven combo with one q while riven can make irelia waste her ultimate easily and then fight her back but overall irelia riven wins from level 1 to 3 irelia wins from level 4 to 11 riven then the rest is of the game they are pretty much equal as i said it mainly depends on your skill or a baby sitting jungler that works too.
Fiora
irelia simply wins if she does not **** up her combo. fiora is a bad match up for irelia as if she times it right she dodge either irelia stun or q and both of them is an essential part of irelia combo and she deals true damage so it does not matter how much irelia gets tanky she will still be able to kill you but overall your damage is higher and you can burst her so fast if you do not **** up as one mistake and your lanning phase is over
Volibear
voli is very strong against irelia he deals tons of damage with his r his engade is strong his bite is op and he deals so many types of damage so it is hard to build against him simply irelia can not fight him good until mid game call for jungler help or play very passive till you get your triforce the look for roams your roaming potential is much more effective than him
Jayce
jayce vs irelia is the ultimate skill match up there is a phrase known as the only counter to jayce is irelia and the only counter to irelia is jayce if you wanna test your skill you will know it here as for lanning phase he is very annoying his poke is hard and he can throw you away if you jump on him but you can burst him down when you complete your trifoce just make sure you do not die to him early cuz if he gets a kill on you you are then as good as an afk an afk would be better in my opinion
Renekton
if you are against renekton you are in a very bad situation he can deny you farm easily his damage is insane and his poke is so hard for you to handle you have to call for a jungler if you can get an early kill get shen run back to lane and do not make the mistake of making him generate fury fight him if he try to do so you will be able to win easily after it because as the game move forward you are getting stronger and he is getting weaker
Pantheon
this is so bad for you specialy if he has ignite you will not any kind of farm without taking tones of poke you will need lots of help in this lane you will not be able to fight good against him until you get your triforce and it will not be easy to reach that point if you are against him try to call for your jungler as much as you can bec he will be pushing hard tip : start cloth 4 health potions it will help alot
Illaoi
a big lane bully with lots of sustain and you will not be able to do much in this lane especial after irelia recent nerfs to the ultimate cooldown to be honest this lane depend mostly on you and your dodging skills if you can dodge her e then her damage will be reduced by much and her tentacles can be dodged so you will have to be very focused bec with one e landed on you say bye bye to more the 2/3 of your hp
Cho'Gath
very easy lane for you his q is very easy to dodge and you can burst him down from level 4 when you base get a phage first and then you can run him down so easily
Darius
he is very bad match up for you specialy if he is aggressive type you will suffer in the early levels but can outplay him by denying his healing by dashing into him when he use his q and after tri force you will be able to burst him down just do not die in early game and you will be fine N.B he is a late game monster try to win hard in the mid game bec if he reaches late game you will have a very tough times
ireliais an easy champ to learn and a very fun champion to play with lots of outplay potential and also escape and gap closing moves irelia is very simple and strong in this moment that you can literally smash your head on the keyboard and will still do something and be useful she can snowball with the smallest leads and can crush whole teams of get a little feed and turn to a 1 vs 5 monster that can kill anything and still be tanky. but as easy as irelia seems to be irelia is a hard champion to master just when you think that you know every thing about her she will surprise you that you know nothing and will always feel that you could have done something better and her team fighting is kinda complicated if you are still new to the champ

teams and team fights
teams and team fights
irelia fit in most team comps because her kit allow her to be have variety she can be tanky as hell she can burst people down so easily or she can be ad off tank. she has cc, gab closers, aoe ultimate ,and finally true damage that shreds people down * in team fights it differs for irelia as her role change according to the state of the game (mid or late where most team fights happen ) in mid game you will have your ghostblade and triforce completed you will be able to shred through most the enemy team and be a major threat for the enemy adc and mid lane you will be the shot caller and your team will follow most of the time the enemy will focus you which will give break for your back line you will mostly die but will take 1 to 2 people with you in late game you will be much more tanky and will be a true frontliner who you will have one of 2 jobs get the enemy adc or midlane out of the fight with you so he can not do major damage bec of you on him or of your adc needs high protection you can provide cc and damage that can not be ignored even from the front line of the enemy so your job in short will be mid game shot caller and an assassin in late game will be huge front line that protect your team or annoy the heal out of the enemy
unique skills
unique skills
i justed wanted to give a hint to some unique stuff irelia has that make he so different from any other character i will start with :
* W : if you look at it you will be like yeah we saw it before in champs like master yi but the thing is that it can heal you more than you can imagine and and provide you with soooo much true damage. at rank 5 it is 75 true damage !
* q : as simple as it is from the way you look at you are like yeah i am jumping to a minion and going back but for the enemy you are more annoying than you think imagine a champion always jumping next to with the potential to fight you at anytime that is ****ing scary ! and it can be used with shen so you can jump to them when they do not expect it so you use this to your advantage
*R : and finally your ultimate the most unique part of you some people may be amazed by it's damage or by it's way of activating sheen for me i am amazed by the amount of heal that can get you back if you used it right if you direct it on minions on the same time you hitting a champion oh boy you will refill your hp like you are garen with warmoges and it can make you do so many plays like if they are chasing you dec the health of the minions with it to q to them then use w with q to another one then another one and can do many trick with it so try to understand it well
Skill Sequence
Skill Sequence
if you know that you will have to fight if you come to cs start with e so you can cs and at the same time trade back as it deal fine damage at early levels and will give you free auto on them so you will mostly come out of it even. but if you are against a poke champs aka teemo lissandra gangblank... etc you do not wanna get attacked while you cs and at the same time take ability from them on your way back so it is best to start q against them e works fine too but q is better . finally if you do not wanna fight in line and see you just wanna stun and run or your jungler will do the damage for you max your the stun duration is quite alot and so annoying for the enemy to deal with if maxed first in early levels. but against any normal match up this is your standard maxing[/color]
combos
combos
this one will be short irelia combos is simple q to a low hp minion e the enemy champ then open w and start auto attack while firing you r at them at the end of your w (if he is not dead )use your q to make the q stronger as it is damage increased if w is still on
or when you complete tri force use w then q to a caster minion it will die and will give you the q reset or you can use your r to dec the hp of the minions and jump to it
N.B when you use your q on someone an autoattack will go after it so do not cancel it will go even if they flash ;)
