Someone who builds no armor or magic resist takes a lot of damage.

Against irelia should I buy health for her true damage, MR for her magic damage, or armor for her physical damage?

Health to counter the True Dmg.

Trick question; Health works for all of them, idiot.

Her magic damage is basically nothing...

build a FH or Randuins and a warmongs and you are fine against her.

Health works against physical, magical, and true damage. Shocking, I know.

ZZ'rot gives 0 offensive stats, which means irelia will outsustain anything you do against her. Also, zz'rot gives no health

Buy a mix of armor and health. Her only magic damage comes from her E. She's known for her true damage from her W, but she relies on Sheen procs, which also do physical damage.

Pretty much everyone who builds even one damage item can deal massive damage to squishies since they have no defensive items. It's why they are considered squishy.

everyone who builds a damage item, ive built 1 damage item on like j4 and then proceeded to instantly nuke their carry before they hit the ground

Because she was nerfed so many times, people just feel awkward to ask her to be nerfed even more.

Complaints come in cycles, three months go it was Kalista / Jinx, Six months ago it was Zed / Lee, right now It's ironically Ekko and any mages that beat Ekko.

So do Annie Azir Chogath Darius Fiora JarvanIV Lux Olaf Pantheon Vi

Edit: And Irelia is classified as an assassin.

All the champions you listed NEED to buy more than one damaging item to burst people Except Irelia

Darius, J4, Olaf, Panth, and Vi only need Hydra. Plus Irelia is classified as an assassin, ofc she can burst down squishies. And, they're squishies, ofc they're going to get bursted down by most champs.

People do complain about Irelia. And for good reason, she's one of the strongest top laners in the game right now.

I ban Irelia in every game. It's not that she's the most powerful champion ever, i ban her because she i don't know if my jungler/top laner can manage to gimp her early came. If she is not shut down early and manages to just farm fairly okay and gets triforce she goes from a little school girl to a female gladiator in one recall.

Right now there are a few champions that are more or less, survive laning phase, you can even die once or twice and just manage to get some stacks or these items and you can wreck faces. People complain about champions like Riven or Zed, but atleast they need to play aggressive and make some plays in order to get strong. Champions like Irelia or Nasus, can choose to play passive and just outscale everything, low risk high reward. I don't want her to get nerfed though, but i would like to transfer some late game power to her early game to reduce that level 9 triforce super duper spike.

Squishies are squishy for a reason

Irelia's power is mid game as she actually has bad scaling on her skills but she has many sources of sheen/trinity procs to power spike during the mid game her late game is actually below average-average at best.
