Is Irelia worth getting S5?

Hello summmoners,

I have been recently thinking about buying Irelia as I find her skill set interesting. I am especially interested in her Transcendent Blades and her Equilibrium Strike. I have seen Irelia players bait enemies in to tower diving them and just stunning them under the turret. Plus,she has some amazing juking potential when she is around some low health minions. (dash,get the dash reset on killing the minion,dash,get the reset,and so on)

I also started playing ranked around a month ago,and it has been a long time since i have played ranked. (I kept rage quitting XD) I'm ready to go back on to ranked and get some better ranks,and I need a solid top laner as I main top lane. I used to play Riven but I'm just not so great at her....

So,thoughts on Irelia and whether I should buy her or not? I don't really mind if she's boring or not (she looks really fun though)

Or If you guys disagree with me getting Irelia, any other solid top laners for ranked?

And don't give me suggestions for the general top laners such as Garen Darius Nasus PantheonGnar MonkeyKing

P.S. I am in Silver V

She carried me from bronze to promo matches to plat so yes, she can be played at most levels. Understanding powerspikes and taking opportunities is the only thing you need to know to win most lanes in silver when playing irelia.

This is a good example of why I link to ICU's YouTube videos. The information on them aren't something you can just get off of simply reading about Irelia through her patch notes or anything of that sort. Its 100% mechanical skills which you need thousands upon thousands of games to build upon in order to acquire and ICU has been really kind of even share it.

Its an opportunity to learn Irelia from one of the best players in this league community who has mastered her. Take it. I wish I could myself, but I could never really get Top lane in solo q rank as much as I do for Sup (more like I'm forced into it and had to learn it). GL to you m8.
