How to counter Irelia

Irelia is a snowball duelist who chains dashes with her Q on minions and marked targets, blocks with her W, and stuns with her blades. She is very strong when ahead but weak if behind, so you stop her with armor that nullifies her damage, champions that stop her dash, or that out-duel her over time.

  • Malphite — Stacking armor nullifies her physical damage and his point-and-click slow pins her; there's no trade Irelia can win.
  • Jax — His E dodges her auto-attacks and he out-duels her over time, scaling past her.
  • Tryndamere — He wins the duel with his crit and spin, and his undying ultimate survives her all-in.
