So I played Irelia for the first time tonight.
SOOOOOOOOOOO many free stats I didn't know what to do with them all!

The third time I've played Irelia I gotten 26/1, predated by 10 kills in each of my first two matches.
While she may be on the better half of the roster, most of her power comes from her unique abilities. People try to fight Irelia as if she were Wukong or Garen; it doesn't work.
It is similar to fighting Olaf or Tryndamere, be careful when she is low on health. Irelia will almost always have access to her stun then, and she can get her health back through W hits and ulting into a group of people/minions. As well, due to this reason, don't ever tower dive an Irelia unless you can take 3 turret shots. It is hilarious when I get a double kill by stunning the jungler under the turret.
I found champions that can chunk her and walk away will win lane. Don't go toe to toe unless you have better sustain.
YA Irelia pretty broken atm.
