@Broda no one maxes e over w. Its always been w and always will be w.

Love this guide!
Just a small note on the Item Builds section. Now we have the limit of 5 health pots maximum, so you might wanna change your 3rd Start! :)

I prefer max E after W. Because of the stun duration. But this guide is good

@DomoRoars I always rush giant's belt as my first item against darius, followed by vamp scepter. the giant's belt gives you the ability to go all in against him and come out on top (though it will be a pretty close fight, you have to play it perfectly), and the vamp scepter basically makes it impossible for him to harass you effectively. I prefer sunfire or randuins over warmogs, since mogs provides no utility.

Really don't see how you could actually say that your "late game goal" should be to have no additional MR. I mean none. Not a single piece of your late game goal gear includes MR. Seriously?

Dude is not only in your elo irelia is hard to play very intricately

@Cyclosis personally i would go for botrk first because irelia can gain so much dmg from it's aspd passive + lifesteal sustain on top of hiten style. It's active allows you to destroy your opponent or burning his flash instantly which you can catch up because you have a gap close skill. I would only get zephyr if im required to get tabi early on and i need tenacity against strong cc ganks.

@DomoRoars in this case, you must understand Darius is almost a devil against any melee bruiser which requires you to last hit creeps near it because his decimate and his passive is just so sick. In order for u to win your lane, you should ask your jungle for help so that you can snowball against him. However, should you receive no help at all, my advice would to be go more passively tanky something lyka sunfire cape so that you are able to farm or even trade against him. Going more dps in a losing lane against darius just get you 100% to 0% instant.

What about BOTRK first instead of Zephyr ? is that CDR so important or can we just skip it until later in the game ?

You should make a small part about akali. i faced one today and i went double neg cloak when i normally start fort pot and ward/4pots and it wasnt that bad but i felt like chalice was a pretty bad idea and then i went merc treads over wits end cause i normally go zepher and after i built i felt really dumb for having 2 tenacity items. anyway this guides pretty great ive won my last 6 games as irelia always refrencing back to this guide and lolcounter for some tips on how to play the lane and ive won almost every time except i think a renek and jax gave me a hard time but i always get fort pots so baiting with her is like crazy funny thanks again man!
