Better Buff Irelia

Nasus is probably the best counter I've found against her. Wither cripples her DPS and chasing potential at all stages of the game and she's weak enough that you can easily free-farm against her.

By the time she finishes Trinity Force or Guinsoo's Rageblade and hits a power-spike, you should have 300+ Q stacks, Iceborn Gauntlet and Kindlegem. You'll pretty much chunk 1/4 or 1/3 of her health every Q.

Hey man if you ever run into an Irelia in champion select, just pick these guys [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Renekton alright I'll give you that he is a pain in the butt. The rest I can deal with unless I start playing stupid which does happen sometimes. | But this is more clearly a buff to Irelia building ghostblade or Maw and might get her a little bit less dependent on rageblade finally.

This might however make the Q first build become more popular which while I have not been a huge fan of I do see some value in it for pressured assassinations and stickiness.

She's really good as a counter-pick against squishy and/or ranged opponents.

If they pick someone like Gnar, Gangplank, Quinn, Graves, or Vladimir, they aren't going to have a good time.

While she isn't great at dueling some tanks, she's still good at diving past them to kill their back-line.
