She wrecks ranged cancers on top lane

She wrecks nearly everyone right now in my experience. It seems like pretty much anyone can play her to success as long she completed Trinity Force.

LoL no, she loses vs Poppy, Voli, Trynd, Sion, Nasus and many others on top

She doesn't lose to Sion. She just can't kill him. Poppy needs a nerf, Voli is going to be nerfed, and Tryn can easily be outplayed with her kit.

I've never seen it happen, but that sounds more like a personal problem than a bad matchup.

Poppy does not need another nerf.

When played well, Irelia has no hard counter. However, fear not, for she's not the only champion with this problem. The flow of the game poses more of a threat to her than any champion does.

When played well? Irelia isn't Yasuo. She's a fucking stat ball. She relies on the enemy playing badly for a counter to lose to her.

I could probably find you five videos of Irelia losing to all those champions, but I won't. What would it prove? Are you so uneducated that you believe anecdotal evidence is valid?

With that said, of that list, only Poppy and Volibear really counter Irelia. The others are fairly even match-ups.

She is cancer.

Weird, I've never had a problem against her with Gnar. As long as you can kite you're fine with him. Once she gets close you're dead unless you go mega, but the match up is not really that bad.
