Looking for Gold-ish Irelia main to 1v1 for exp

Not sure if this is the right place to go, but I didn't think Team Recruitment quite fit, so.

Anyway I'm a Teemo main in lower-elo but as of right now it seems I can beat most match-ups in top lane if I play my cards right. But Irelia always seems to get me no matter what new strategy I try- I can even win for the first 5 levels in the game but as soon as the enemy Irelia hits 6 it seems its an impossible stomp-fest on me and the best I can do is sit under tower with my shroomfield and farm as best I can.

Anyway, I was hoping I could get an Irelia main in Gold-ish elo to 1v1 for some laning experience against her, as well as maybe tips to beat Irelia. I don't know exactly when I'll be open but if anyone is up, just say it here and add me and we'll get in a custom game.

Well that's just common knowledge. I'm looking for experience against Irelia and what to do versus her.

That is literally it..... dont stand near her or dead minions because u lose trades. Otherwise keep on her ao she doesnt sustain and play normal

Irelia tends to crush squishy top-lane match-ups after a certain point.

It might be a good idea to bulk-up early game by grabbing some early health (i.e. 3x Doran's Rings into Haunting Guise) to improve your chances of surviving early all-in attempts.

In addition, I would recommend you try maxing Q first in this match-up. Quite frankly, Irelia can attempt to all-in Teemo if she's within his AA-range, so you can't quite poke her down with basic attacks safely. Having the increased burst damage and blind duration should hopefully help you survive against her all-in attempts.

Generally I poke her to death or deny enough farm and EXP at level 1 so that I'm level 2 first or even level 3 before she hits two sometimes. Its generally after level 3 or 6 that's the problem, she has no issues with all-inning, taking me down to 20% and her down to 10% and then going and healing up so much that my poke doesn't do enough so she can just all-in when her abilities are off cd again she can instantly all-in and kill me from there if I try to poke after that point. Good Irelias do that, bad Irelias like first-time or whatever just get poked to death until level 6 and I'm level 8 and then they go in and kill me before I can get them to 50% health.
