Mega update please, I'm sure now you play something like Mercs/Ionian + Phage + BotRK + Bruta into something like Mercs + BotRK + Mallet/Trinity + BC + Randuin's/Iceborn Gauntlet + GA/SV or anything similar.
Since its change basically every Irelia is building BotRK.

WOW just facerolled with this build on a ranked 14/5/7 better nerf Irelia. Runes of AS and MS synergize with her so well, and the best thing is she deals tons of damage while being tanky :D

Personally, i'd take 9/21/0 masteries, but with +1 point in atk speed, and -1 point in summoner's wrath. I really like the 4% as opposed to 3%, but that's just me. Overall GREAT GUIDE. Haven't had to try this build out, but it seems interesting and viable.

THIS GUIDE ROCKS!!! :D
just played 2 games...but its sooo much fun!! :D
Guys you need to try this!!!! :)

this guide is FAR BETTER then this "[S3] REVAMP: Better Nerf Irelia" crapguide ...
sorry but atkspeed + movementspeed is thousands of times better than atkdmg - and this masterie-tree as well!
but i also would suggest ninjatabi's as well! i play mostly each game with those - because 80% of the dmg you take will come from carries ._.

I love this build, I've been following it and I won every single match except for once.
Now the problem is that I snowball top lane easily, but I feel kind of useless in teamfights..
I wonder if I go Tabi + Zephyr + Wit's + Mallet + Randuin + SV
Replacing trinity force with Frozen mallet and adding Wit's end to compensate for the damage loss.
Will it be better or worse for teamfights?

Hey, I know maby it's a little bit of topic, but I've been testing out muramane for irelia, and I'm wondering why noone is using it. I tried Iceborn+muramane or a few times and its great because it grants you with +200 dmg per hit when you need it. Of course It means that you need to get frozen mallet instead of trinity force, but i think its worth it.
tho i guess you can go for trinity instead of iceborn, cuz it still gives you some mana + precious attack speed

cloth armor + 5 pots is the perfect start, you can fight and you have enough pots to stay in the lane. In Addition you get less damage.

I love this guide! With the nerf to the flask, what do you recommend we start with? I've been starting either with flask, ward, and a pot clothe armor + 5, or boots + 3. Personally, flask has worked decently with me but I'm not sure if there are better options.

i played irelia like 2-3 times before i saw this guide. With the knowledge of this guide i played 2 ranked games and scored 1 quadra and 1 pentakill. this build is just awesome, it works perfectly.

Tho i changed 1 thing: I first buy a giants belt before i buy ga, imo the extra hp is better (especially if you have only 1 slot left and you have to decide between giants belt and chains vest), so i buy giants belt and after that ga and randuins ^^

Awesome guide
