Views: 500 Irelia, attack speed?
|
First of all, im new to Irelia. im not presumptuous, and im not saying i know her. this thread is to help me understand her more and improve :) your help is much appreciated.
So anyways i read a few guides and watced a few ranked games and i got mixed signales. I was able to gather up a few things about her. Many people rush Blade of the Ruined King while the rest rush Trinity Force ive seen some people getting Hextech Gunblade as a first item. im not new to the league, i know that when someone buys Wit's End first its because they are up against a Malphite. But im getting confused as to what her playstyle is.
which one gives you the most damage? and im not talking specific cases like botrk against Shen because hes an op tank. im talking all round best first item. what will get me through the laning phase best?

That said, Blade of the Ruined King is probably the most standard first item on Irelia, as far as I know (haven't played her much this season). Blade or Trinity Force both give a lot of damage, though I'd say Blade is more of a damage item considering the number of other things you get from Trinity (mana, MS, slow proc). Wit's End is more of a defensive item as you probably guessed.
I'd suggest getting Blade of the Ruined King pretty early in the game, then build tanky stuff like Randuin's Omen and Guardian Angel. BotRK is pretty good for laning phase since it increases your sustain with lifesteal and is a pretty strong dueling item, regardless of whether you're against a tanky top or a squishy.
EDIT: Also it might be more helpful if you pose these kinds of questions in a forum thread or Q&A question instead of your blog. Those areas generally get more traffic from the people able and willing to help.
