Need a rune page and mastery page for nasus as irelia

I can at least survive any lane as irelia because she is all I play but then nasus comes along. I Don't do enough damage early game to kill or even harass him, after 6 though its just too one sided. I need runes and masteries specifically for nasus to be able to kill him early and im going to start running ignite in this lane as well because i just have no pressure on nasus.

Can I please get some help.

On my normal irelia Page for Runes I have: 20% attack speed 18 armor 12 flat MR

The attack speed just gets countered by wither making those runes useless imo. At the same time I want a little attack speed though. I know im greedy XD

Sorry, but Nasus counters Irelia. It's literally the only lane Nasus can ACTUALLY win, that and Tryndamere. Give him a break, he loses lane to literally every other champ in the game.

Doesn't matter, Nasus has a hidden passive where he is 50% more likely to get a team that feeds EXTREMELY hard during early game. So chances are you can lose lane to him and get carried anyway. At least happens all the time to me when I vs. Irelia, I can make her go 0/6 in lane but her fed teammates pay me a visit and camp me until we lose.

Tyson I think you misunderstand, he's playing as Irelia not Nasus. Anyway, just my opinion. Runes/Masteries are not too significant, try to think about how you play in lane versus him. Maybe bait out his Wither before a heavier trade. Or if you do get the jump on him by Q'ing a minion and stunning. At least you get a couple hits + a WQ on him. His Wither doesn't seem too much of a problem for me. Anyway, I haven't put much thought in here, not sure why I'm even awake. If you really want to get better, I'd suggest watching some high elo players. Don't know if I'll get in trouble for this, but I suggest checking out "Irelia Carries U" and his guide/stream/youtube for tips. I love playing Irelia too, only match up I find actually hard is ganks and being dived...

Edit: My opinion of runes, well I just like going scaling HP/Mr if I'm going full ASPD with no AD.

I don't know man, im not struggling with learning the mechanics of irelia. Its just that no matter what I do I never get an opportunity to kill this slick basterd. So im thinking about a little more offensive runes earlier to give me the edge on killing him. I know for a fact if I cant get a kill on him pre-6 I will lose this lane like a land slide, It happens everytime. Its so bad I feel more secure laning against darius because at least I know he wont out scale me if I go even in lane. More often then naught these darius's will get greedy for a kill and try to dive me then die and I can snowball that way. But anyway I think I will take away my attack speed marks and replace it with armor pen I guess.

nas 3 cdr quints and cdr blues i think thats most importand cause you will need cdr to spam your q get 40 asap you can start of with 20% cdr easy even 25 if u really wanted to than dmg marks and armor yellows

20% attack speed is soooo good but against nasus its just fucking useless.

just played a game as nasus, cant really do anything about irelia, she built damage and i couldnt even be in lane for more than 20 seconds before she burst me down with DD ease. it literally felt like she was made just to suppress me

Irelia loses to Nasus because of wither and mana constraints early. I see no reason to take 20% attack speed in any match up let alone against Nasus. Take AD and ask your jungle to camp Nasus otherwise he free farms.
