Irelia has a better win rate mid than top?

I know this is just one site and we are talking about a division where people are mostly skills mechanically, but still it's kind of weird to see irelia having a better win rate as a mid than a top. Even in bronze there's a slight advantage to midrelia. I'm fairly certain riot didn't mean to turn her into a mid, but it seems like she might be a good niche pick there. If you look at her items it seems like if she's able to complete her TF, she's got a decent win rate. If she's able to get to her second or 3rd item, she's probably going to win the game.

Note, I'm not against Midrelia being a thing, it's just odd to see it. If anything, it's kind of cool to think that a top-laner might have a chance to shake up mid. I'm kind of hoping riot gives this a chance to play out. It's just a weird statistic I was curios about prior to the rework but not fully expecting to see pan out.

So have any of you guys tried Midrelia?

After they cut down her base stats like they did, it's pretty hard to duel some top laners, but it's often very easy to cheese squishy mid laners early because a lot of people don't seem to expect how much damage she can do after landing a stun with a fully stacked passive. More freedom to take ignite also really increases the snowball chance.

That's been my experience, at least.

Are the champs she has trouble dueling the ones she's always had a bad match ups with?

I think its more that w/ her new kit she struggles a lot more against tanks/juggernauts which are a decent chunk of the toplane roster, yes she does well against someone like gnar or gp, and has a pretty even matchup vs camille/fiora/riven but malphite sion maokai can push her out of lane b/c of her lack of sustain, and someone like illaoi can just build tabi's and win every trade after that.

Camille has been the most difficult matchup for me. :s

I can never seem to outtrade her no matter what and she has good poke as well.

all the top irelia i had fed heavily because they don't use their spells properly like really if a garen is freaking spinning at you jump to the minion with Q not run away and get hit by the full spin... ugh..
