I know this has been talked about before, but I still don't get it. What's Irelia's ult really geared toward?
Helps me win many top lane duels, but it just seems like a weird skill...?
What I do is I use it to weaken some minions, so when I Q to them, I kill them, resetting the counter, allowing me to potentially Q to an enemy Champion so I can catch up to them in a chase. Or just as engage.
But I never hear people talk about that.... what's the deal yo
Irelia is bad design. Just a ball of stats, so use the ult for killing the enemy. There's not really much other use.
Irelia's ult is great for 1 v 1 matches or even 1 v 2 when the enemy jungler comes. Just launch the blades through as many opponents as you can; the main power of her ult is the life steal.
Generally, it is a good idea to wait until you are a bit low for the stun on equilibrium strike and then heal back with W AAs and the ult.
Its main use is for the heal and to get 4 sheen procs of course.
