now im pretty sure in this last game the enemy irelia player was smurfing and its not the first time being against a smurfing player, but holy hell.

mix the tankyness of rammus with the ad xin zhao damage and the dash potential of an akali and you have irelia. ow wait she also has murderous sustain gotcha

normally when a champion is fed you can focus them down catch them out of position. something at least. but with irelia there is no such thing no amount of team effort will stop an irelia that is fed this is wrong.

if an adc, jungler, midlaner or assasin who is fed but caught of guard they and their team will pay for it a fed irelia just murders you.

now im not saying that numbers are the problem here its her kit design that makes no sense. i blame her passive.

ive been banning irelia all season long every single time i get ban status and whenever someone says irelia is balanced i laugh my ass off becasue thats just SO fucking stupid.

that champion is disgusting and im glad in this entire season ive had to play against her NEVER when im given a ban.

when im not? i pick the safest champ and know im going to lose every trade and wait for ganks or late game because riot games balance team are full of irelia mains.

She has multiple dashes, a stun/slow, she gets pretty tanky, yet she's still doing all this damage. It's insane.

I play support Nami and I always bubble her when she goes in on the adc and it doesn't matter. Even the fed adc can't get enough damage on her before they are dead, even if she's CC'd because she just keeps dashing to them and the tankiness keeps her alive.

A champion like that either needs to be tanky or do damage but no inbetween. At least if Xin or Akali get CC'd they'll die if focused because they're generally squishier, and Rammus doesn't do enough damage. Irelia is just a monster.

Here is a quick way to shut out irelia. Play Lulu, she is the damn anti everything champ lol. I know this because Lulu is second to my main.

Irelia has always shit on Yasuo unless Yasuo gets some kind of advantage or the Irelia gets greedy/doesn't know the matchup. If it was Illaio, Darius or path this irelia likely would have not got the ball rolling.

You dont have to be top lane with lulu to use her to shut out an irelia :P

First of all Irelia shits on Yasuo as hard as yasuo shits on most skill shot dependent mages.

Irelia had 2 kills before 6 minutes meaning there was for sure a sheen or phage after that and likely more.

The real kicker is the triple at around 14 minutes which was likely a completed trinity and got a good part of another item started.

This looks more like a case of a champ getting fed early and the enemy team having no way to stop them which given your team comp was Lux, Yasuo Nunu, Jhin and brand I am going to say your tools to contain any snowballing enemy champ were limited. You had some tools but they are not really anything reliable for containing a fed enemy from running all over you and your only arguable tank was nunu who can slow down an enemy but can't really contain them.
