• Laning Phase and some Stuff about teamfights

  Irelias early game is pretty much bullshit. I start with my q to farm better and be able to escape some early situations. If you invade, w or e are better, cause u need the cc or the dmg. I would choose e, cause the slow or stun is massive.

   

  Irelia Early Game:

  Until u are lvl 6 or smthing, you are just farming, dont try to trade your enemy. Try to get as many cs as u can without using your q, to save some mana. Just FARM NOTHING ELSE. If you get some ganks, q to an minion, which is low hp, u must kill this minion, to have your q still up. Turn on your w and e him. If he flashes, q him and deal tons of dmg.

   

  Mid Game:

  First i wanna say, irelias mid game, depends on how do you build. Some ppl go double gp/10 or smthing. Its ok to do this, but you can deal so much dmg, and bully your enemy. Normaly i finish my boots and rush tri force. If you are able to start with zeal, do it, cause ur main dmg comes from your w. If you got an enemy like lee or jax, buy phage first, cause u need the slow to trade them better or to chase them. In teamfights, your main rule is, to kill the enemy ad. q to him instant e and w and spit in his face all you got. if you got ur triforce or sheen, q auto hit, e autohit, r auto r auto r auto ...

   

  Late Game

  Now you are the god of the gods, cause you are irelia. You got your ga, tri force, and fh, feel free to engage or counterengage. you must kill the ad and the ap before you die :=). YOUR LATE GAME IS AMAZING!!!

• Teamfights

  Your main role is killing the enemy ad carry.

   

  If the enemys got hard cc, you need to wait, until they uses oll of their shit on you or your jungler. After they uses their cc, focus the enemy ad, you are one of the best champs to do that, in my opinion the best. Make sure, that you got lower hp than the enemy ad, cause u must be able to stun him. If not its also ok, but champs like ez or corki got good escape skills, which will help them to stay alife.

   

  If they got soft cc, jump into them, and kill the enemy carry. It sounds pretty easy, but if they disengage, you got big problems.

   

• Some Stuff about Irelia

  The hardest part in learning how to play Irelia is, to understand her mechaniks.

   

  Her main dmg depends on your attackspeed.

   

  To understand irelia, is to play her. I can write so much as i want here, but i wont helps you.You need to play her often in normals or rankeds. You can also 1on1 against an friend, to learn how to lane with her against any1.

   

  Keep in mind, that your e stuns only if you got lower hp than your enemy, that you deal so much dmg if you press r and autoattack and this 4 times, that your laning phase is not good and that you are able to engage pretty well.

  Olaf: Olaf is not an counter, but he do well against you. Dont get hitten by his axes

   

  Teemo: Teemo destroys irelia, but only with some of his ga* skins

   

  Kayle: Kayle is like Teemo but she deals so much more dmg. If you play against her, let her push and go gp/10. You cant win any trades against her until you are lvl 10 or smthing

   

  Singed: Singed is for some reason, an very good counter against you. He pushes you, you cant chase him, hell escape any trades. you need an good jungler to win against him.

   

   

   

• Jungle Irelia

  Some ppl thinks, jungle irelia is an troll or doesnt works good, i dont think so. Irelia is an strong ganker, got livesteal and is there also op.

  When i Jungle irelia, i start with my w. w>q>e. It is pretty good, to start at red, to gank early, cause you dont need blue so much. I dont know why, but the most players in this game thinks, if you got mana as an jungler, you must start at blue, i dont think so. Start at Wraiths, Red, wolves, blue gank.

   

  Items as jungler

  Wriggels

  Tri

  GA

  qss

  fh

   

  Irelia rlly does well in jungle. I would buy 2x gp/10 and sell them later or build them into shu and randuins, depends.
