Tell me how and why I am playing Irelia wrong

I play Irelia grasp on undying with precision as my second set of runes, I do it because I am scared of feeding lane. Sometimes I dont even rush triforce until somestimes 2nd or 3rd item. Against a Vlad I went wits end frozen mallet then tri, against an aatrox I went tabi Thornmail then tri and against a kayle i went wits end tabi then tri. Sometimes I smashed lane other times I went even in farm but died alot. Come team fight time I feel more impactful. Is grasp on undying bad? I feel like a lot of solo que teams in silver lack a lot of positions speccing into the resolve tree.

If I were you I would try out conquerer.

Try looking at other websites that have guides, or maybe even the irelia mains subreddit. Usually they provide detailed explanations to everything. Good luck!

Grasp is really mean to give tanks extra sustain in lane and more hp for late game. Irellia's goal is to deal damage late as a late game damage dealer who can duel most opponents. But you're being too passive by ty the late game just because you don't feel confident enough to think you won't feed so much early on. You build tanky when you should be building damage, and vice-versa.

As buddy above said, Conquerer, which adds more damage, is better suited for her.

You might wanna hold off on learning Irelia, frankly. If pro players continue to abuse her she'll get nerfed until she's overly difficult to play in soloQ.
