Irelia is dumb as fk and broken with no counter play

Let's see. A passive that is basically jax R, and his passive combined + extra damage to shields. "oh you got to stack it" Oh hur dur. Hit Q on 1 minion, E an enemy champ + hitting a minion same time = 2 stacks + Q one more time on enemy champ = 4 stacks...

Hur durrrr hard to stack my ass. High ass base AD, high ass base HP, high ass base armor, built in sustain on a skill that helps her never miss CS under tower, so whats the point of picking ranged top against her, when she's gonna CS regardless, sustain back up, and kill you once she reaches 2 item power spike. + shitttt 2.4k gold? With 2.4k gold I probably have + + just to not die against her

and guess what? She probably still 1 shots me for over extending halfway in top lane because. oh dam a clicking gap closer of 400 range that can 1 shot ranged minions and dam she hit me with an E after 40 tries the whole laning phase? Dam now I die. Dam took 40 tries? guess what the E is 40 mana cost, she never oom, never runs out of HP. Melee champs not named Jax don't outduel her, ranged champs can't poke her out of lane. Flash? dam, she just Q's me again because stupid skill is 6 second cooldown even if she misses reset, hurdur balance

And that ult is the dumbest shit ever. No ult should have the potential of being better than a fiora ult, in terms of dueling, but here we have irelia, queen of dueling, queen of sustain, queen of gapclosing, queen of CC, queen of lack of mana costs, queen of killing u for over extending halfway through top lane, cuz she can jump from her turret to u cuz minions hurdur 1 shot 'bonus damage to minions' on Q cuz she needs that

"Play passive" Hurdur, she roams, has next level mobility, teammates aren't top lane mains and get hit by her E and dies dam she got 4 kills? dammmmmmm

TLDR Irelia top lane meta sucks balls. Darius and Mundo are strong picks but have reliable counters and playstyles that can win you the lane. But there is no counterplay to fucking dumb ass irelia
