Why is Irelia allowed to ddos me by pressing E?

2 second stun that requires you to be higher health than her is honestly fine. There are a lot more annoying CCs in this game.

Also I would argue Irelia is one of the most balanced toplaners right now....clear strengths, clear weaknesses and alot of counterplay but also few bad matchups.

Tell me one weakness and 3 methods of counterplay that don't involve the classic "Just CC HER" "CAMP HER LANE" "PICK X CHAMPION"

"Herself before level 6" isn't a weakness. She has no clear weakness. Hell, she doesn't have any clear strengths. The history behind Irelia is specifically BECAUSE of that fact.

To be fair, she's pretty susceptible to anyone who stacks HP (because she usually depends on the true damage), her clear is pretty terrible too without her ult...on that note her ult is pretty useless besides sheen procs and every now and then healing.

But yea, her E is bad, almost as bad as fiddle's fear... Q_Q

Her weaknesses are lanebullies and getting outscaled. You counterplay her by abusing her weak early game and not fighting her when she hits her midgame powerspike.

So how do any of those stop her from destroying my back line with trinity force + full tank, she may have so counters (WHICH ARE NOT EQUAL TO COUNTERPLAY) but she has no counterplay, just gut her until the rework please.

same way you stop a hec/vi/jax/anyone that goes tri force and full tank you peel em off, they do a lot of damage and have pretty good cc and damage but theyre stupid easy to peel off once their shit is on cd

irelia is fine i dont see why so many people complain about her, shes just like any other melee

because she has a fuckload of tenacity, peeling her is pretty hard.

You do that by not diving the enemy adc and instead protecting yours. If Irelia goes full tank after Triforce her damage will fall off very hard as her true damage doesn't scale after she hits leve 9. At that point, 75 true damage is alot cause most people have like 1000hp at that point but at level 18 everyone has atleast 2k hp and 75 of 2000 is not nearly as threatening as 75 of 1000. If she opts for more damage items (Bork or Ghostblade) she dies fast cause has 0 tank stats so what you do is help your adc kill her. Most of her damage is single target, and her ult will only hurt more than 1 person if you atre standing behind each other, so basically she can only focus on one target which makes it impossible for her to kill your backline, she can either focus the ADC or APC but never both. If she uses her Q to gapclose to one of them they will have lower hp than her making it impossible for her to get her stun off, if you are playing one of the adcs with a dash you use it to reposition and kill her, if you are playing an immobile adc like Ashe, Kog Maw or Varus for example and your ult is down then you have to rely on your support to cc her for you. In higher elo people know what kind of threat Irelia is for your adc during her midgame spike so instead of brainlessly diving the enemy adc they actually use their skills defensively and help their adc kill Irelia.

Lol. it is the only stun in the game that requires you to be higher hp than the person casting it...Renekton can stun me at any hp and then proceed to combo me down and dash away wtih E taking 0 damage.
