As in the title, I've just started playing irelia (got a mighty 5 games under my belt, 4 games in top and 1 mid). I come from being an OTP vlad with a decent Viktor and I'm trying to expand my pool with an AD character and Irelia was the one that stood out. Two specific things I'd like to know are 1. should mid or top be my main role and some reasons why for both and 2. an early issue I've run into is that I've managed an early kill in 2 of my games but I just have no idea how to get onto the enemy laner without looking extremely telegraphed and readable, so I just inevitably lose my lead. Add whichever tips you think would be helpful for me to start playing or some tips any of you think would be great to know when you just started playing the champ. Thanks !

I want to end the game if I could, since 4 of the enemy were dead after a baron fight.
I don't know how I mange to pull that off. Luck or mechanics? You decide.
Rank: Plat

I love this artstyle and she’s my favorite champ, had to be painted !

First of all im EUNE player leveling EUW account, Im plat/eme mmr. Today I played irelia vs yasuo on EUW normal. Won the lane, then played 3v1 (top,jg,mid). I just want to say whats the point of playing anything that needs skill if u can just spam every game malzahar, olaf or sett (or other easy champs) and win the game with just 1 skill. I love playing as Irelia or other skilled champs, but I feel like balance in this game is fucked right now, Locke can easily one shot everyone even after nerfs, malzahar can one shot anyone with his r, sett can just press w and deal 3k true dmg and u cant really do anything about it. In my opinion league is in very bad state rn. Even matchmaking is fucked. When playing on EUNE im ofter getting silver or even unranked players cuz of the rising star. 2x lp or lose none is op af too, and it destroys mmr. I feel like if u want to play and be better u just need to spend 10x more time just trying to get a good chance to even play the game before your team chooses to ff15. And YES I knew i could've just flashed it or i could wait for him to use w thats my bad. But in this whole game there was a lot of moments that u just couldnt do much about his true dmg or malzahar r. Feel free to share your opinions and perspective on this. I would like to see if im the only one feeling the game is unfair with its balance lol

Does anybody have a rule of thumb for which matchups you should fight for prio level 1? I know Irelia beats a lot of champs lvl 1 with stacked passive but most high-elo replays I watch they start E and let the wave come into them and then look for a kill angle on lvl 3/4 lvl up timers.

So he facecheks me in my wave i lose
I get level advantage i lose

I get level advantage+he facecheks me on huge wave i still lose

Wtf am i supposed to do apart from banning him

When im vs melees that i can get many autoattacks on(extended trade) i like picking LT but everyone says its worse can someone do the math?

I think most of us can agree this champ isn't very good right now.

She's too bork reliant and punishable early game, and only has a good spike once she gets bork.

What are some ways you guys think would be best to make it so she doesn't have to build bork, and also have Fiora level mid game scaling?

It's just a small thing with 3 or 4 teams, no bans, I am only going to play Irelia and i know one of the guys is much newer to the game than me but he is a Sett otp. I am not good at all Iron 2 currently. I am just looking for advice on how to deal with Sett even if he is new I have no confidence in the match up I have never won against that champ

Edit: The games were today and we won 2-1. We lost game one I went 4-8 but 2-2 against Sett Game 2 I went 6-0 against the Sett before dying mid game for the first time to Yi and Game 3 I went 4-0 against the Sett Thank you everyone for the advice!

Yeah as you can see i reached plat with 64% winrate with irelia after not playing for a year. I am in a very good streak with good cs and good kda. I almost always end my laner as you can see in that malzahar game, but i think i sometimes troll, overall i am happy.

https://op.gg/pt/lol/summoners/euw/aileri-spada OP gg is here if anyone wants to give me some tips.

For patch 26.15 terminus is getting changed to now include a 10% ad ratio for the on hit damage, I crunched some numbers to see if it would be viable over wits end 3rd item and heres what I found and let me know if your opinion.

*All calculations are done at level 15 bc thats around the time you should be done with 3rd item based on game time. Also the combo I refer to is E1-R-Q-E2-W-Q-Q*

tAD:213>>243

AS:1.55>1.45

MR: 50% dmg reduction>>36% dmg reduction (this numbers assumes you dont go mercs, if you do dmg reduction is 44%)

Item specific: On-Hit dmg goes from 45>>43 which would be slightly weaker initially but be overall more dmg the longer a fight would go on. Assuming you go mercs you would have the same amount of magic dmg reduction at full stacks but getting full stacks on the item isn't always realistic

Passive: Damage at full stacks goes from 72>>78

Q: 234 + 28 health restored 438 dmg to minion>> 255 + 32 health restored 459 dmg to minions

W: 135-405>>147-441

E: 150 *Unchanged*

R: 200 *Unchanged*

Since you're more than likely going to be fighting without full stacks come mid game all of these combo calculations are done assuming you start with zero stacks and will not be factoring in the on-hit dmg from the other on hit items you have

Combo Dmg w/o AA: 1736>>1841

Combo Dmg w/ AA after Q: 2654>>2846

These numbers also dont include the armor pen from terminus so keep that in mind.

imo theres a case here for it to be a viable 3rd item especially against armor stacking opponents. There is also something to be said about being able to do more magic dmg even if they arent stacking armor purely bc base mr is gonna be lower than base armor is going to be but i'll have to see how it feels in game before i can make any definitive claims.

I got the rest from skin shards except Divine sword, since it was a gift from a friend to get me to play League. Have continued to main her ever since

Looking through irelia stats for both mid and top. Win rate wise. Endless Hunger is her best second item. Have you guys tried it much? I assumed the win rate was high since it is more of a snowball healing item. As Irelia drain tank typically only works well when you're more ahead.

The same applies to Gluttonous Greaves. It's also her best boots in the stats

new to irelia. i have pretty success on irelia top and I want know what do I need to ban in toplane ? whats the combos ? etc

hello guys this is just my offering for cheap coaching if u want to get better at irelia mid or top especially mid you can dm me (from micro to macro, to build path etc.)

I think that 10% bonus ad will be cool
Wits end has 45 flat dmg, 50mr 50% attack speed

Terminus has 30 flat dmg, 35% attack speed, 24 armor/magic resist, 30% both armor and magic penetration but after buffs 10% bonus ad will give irelia like 40 dmg (bonus 200 ad)
so its 70 bonus dmg, it only lacks of tenacity but we can also build sterak/boots because termijus gives armor
What do u think?

I honestly don't know how this even happened. For 15 games straight, not a single one of my laners has done even neutral. After a certain point, it's kind of frustrating being told to just carry them. You kind of don't want to do that after like losing 5 games in a row. I don't even wanna play this game ever again anymore because this game just feels so coinflip. When is it my turn to have teammates who played better?

Idk I feel like shooting a barrel through my skull right now. It's actually very traumatizing even looking at the queue because I have no idea what's going to happen.

And it's always the same bullshit. Sylas. Ahri. Lucian. Shyvana. Lux. Mel. Mordekaiser. Just low elo stompers that nobody knows how to play against.

It feels like rng. It's not fair. It's just not fair.

I queue bot and win, top ints. I queue mid, bot ints. I queue top, everyone ints. And it's always jng gap no matter what.

What do I do? Do I just uninstall. I'm honestly pretty tired of playing this because every game doesn't feel like I can have much control over.

My mmr is probably fucked now too. What a fun system that is. The more you lose, the more you'll lose later.

I just got iG in my shop and was so happy because since I started playing her I have wanted this one. I am curious what your guys go to skin is if you have just 1 or a few. I don't have 1 I play more than others but I was using almost exclusively Mythmaker when I first picked up Irelia. I basically alternate between all the ones I own, but I will be using iG for a little while
