Can anyone out there give me some pointers?

So yea I'm an Irelia main, started off with a subpar winrate at 48% and eventually climbed to about 64% at around 72 games now at 60% at 91 games.

My question is has any other Irelia main or player out there found a decent way to consistently carry with her? I find myself tilted and a lot more toxic anymore a lot of the time watching the clock widdle down and seeing the god aweful score in the enemies favour... I won't name the lane that shall not be named that feeds in about 50% of my games but I want to improve on ME and focus on my play.

I have tried going ignite top and snowballing myself so that I can try to help with the carrying, but no cigar. I have tried mostly full AD builds, no cigar, and half the time I can only carry half of my full tank games. There are games that I get lucky and my whole team is doing well, but those come once in a blue moon. So tell me how I can improve on ME?

Another problem I have is trying to get my laners to deep ward for my TP. No matter how many times I ask or ping" 80% of the time they don't listen.

Don't focusing on yourself and work on macro plays for the sake of the team. Teleport plays, lane swaps to let adc farm up, map rotations, wave control.

Winning your lane means nothing if you don't do anything to actively help your team.

Getting your bot to ward the far lane bush or tribush so you can make an early bot tp is useful, and can help turn the clown fiesta in botlane in your favor. It's better if your opponent wates tp to get into lane. You get a free advantage in bot, and can power push the turret before their toplaner can take yours (usually, teamcomps depending).

If your bot is struggling but you lost outer turret, let your adc swap top and freeze the lane while you go bot with the support and try to hold turret (mid/jungle should help at times too).

There's lots to do, but you usually have to give something up for the rest of the team to help them get back into the game.

There are two ways to win through top lane. The harder of the two is going to be grouping and teamfighting. Only a select few top laners are good in teamfights and can solo carry them. For you the better way to carry is going to be to split push. Learn how to snowball your lane to the point of no return for the enemy lane opponent. The best ways to learn how to do so are from watching some players. I would recommend IreliaCarriesU (you should already know), SoloRenektonOnly, and BoxerPete. SRO mains Renekton and Pete mains Tryndamere. Learning top from these players is super helpful and has allowed me to actually play that lane if I ever wished to do so.
