Introduction
I'm a 16 year old Mid/Top main and Irelia is one of my main top laners along with Singed and Jayce. I've recently earned Platinum with her as well.


My stream if you would like to check me out, I don't really have a regular streaming scheduled since I have school and what not.

Runes






Reds: 9 Attack Speed
I've been going full 9x attack speed reds as its just better for




Consider:
9x Attack Speed Marks
9x Attack Damage Marks
A mix of AD and Attack Speed.
Yellows: 9 Flat Armor
No other choice to be honest, Top lane is full of AD champs its the best Seal and nothing comes close in my opinion.
Blues: 9 Flat Magic Resistance or 9 Scaling Magic Resistance Glyphs
Scaling against an AD laner such as Jayce. Flat against Elise or Darius because he does a good bit of magic dmg with his passive. I just use flat MR because I don't have enough rune pages to put one with scaling :P
Quints: 3 Flat AD
Same thing as AD marks better damage on auto attacks.
Quints on Irelia is mostly on preference.
Consider:
3x Lifesteal Quints are viable
3x Health Regen Quints is AMAZING with

3x Armor Quints
3x MR Quints, against a

3x Movement Speed Quints

Difficulty:5 This guy is annoying as hell. With his sustain and revive passive nonsense. You should be able to duel him post 6-9. Consider



Difficulty:4 Shes weak early consider some aggressive play, at level 5. Try to hit 6 before her. Be very careful of her 6 & don't underestimate her.





Difficulty:3 So easy but boring, farm lane. Be careful of his 6 though.

Difficulty:6 He's got a lot of damage early and a lot of killing penitential at 6. Consider Heath Regen quints for this matchup. Not the hardest after his nerfs but annoying never the less. The key is to dodge his





Difficulty:5 After constant nerfs she is not as dominant as she once was but is still a potent Top Laner. She will poke you down in human form and execute you in spider form. My best tip hide in the brushes to take less damage from auto attacks and from




Difficulty:3 Easy, don't underestimate her early game though. Punish her when her




Difficulty:2 GP kinda sucks right now.



Difficulty:7 This guy is annoying as ****. Tanky and tons of damage. He gets



Difficulty:5 I recently experienced this and it was dead even. He couldn't kill me, I couldn't kill him. Consider


Difficulty:6 Not easy to say the least. He has A LOT of damage early. Just try to



Difficulty:8 One of the harder match ups but not impossible if you play it right. This is the most fun match up in my opinion since this gives you allows you to outplay him hard. The key is to NOT use







Difficulty:4 Easy. Jayce generally builds all damage so your






Difficulty:6 Starting









Difficulty:6.5 Careful of his cheese. He is really good early. Dodge his


Difficulty:4 Farm lane. Don't waste your mana.

Difficulty:5 You both can't really kill each other. The big problem is that you can't really deny him farm. Try to get your jungler to camp this guy if possible, preferably pre-6. A farmed Nasus is even more hell on Earth than Akali. To be honest I think this guy is kind of OP right now.

Difficulty:8 Since his rework hes become really strong. I've recently picked him back up and I don't know why he isn't played more. Be very carful in this matchup he can snowball out of control. He can out-trade you with his




Difficulty:7 This guy is annoying as hell. Does A LOT of damage early. Will be hard to kill because of


Difficulty:7 Much like Renekton she does A LOT of damage. Try trading with her post 9.



Difficulty:4
