To all who say that Irelia is bad

An example of a good Irelia (me - laning) vs a bad Irelia (jungling with smite)

Also, you see Vlad's score? He was soloing top lane against me and Corki.

bad

Oh yeah, with 3 other carries on our team I should totally be making sure that I last hit every champion as opposed to someone like Twitch getting the kill...

Slightly off topic, but:

I really hate it when people say that the other team fed, and that's the only reason you did good. You do realize that in order to get fed, you have to get kills, right? Everyone starts off on a level playing field until someone dies and someone else gets a slight (~500 gold) advantage. You can't take a look at an end of game screenshot and know everything that went down in that match, all you can see are the totals. So it's best not to draw conclusions as to why x team did better then the y team when you have no idea how the players were playing.

Back on to topic:

As far as DPS Sion vs. Irelia goes, they're rather different playstyles. If you still don't think that Irelia is a good champion (if a tad underpowered: aka balanced) then I suggest that you take a look at my recent games. Have I won every single one of them? No. Have I had some pretty good scores in most of them? Yes.

In response to the DPS sion comment, Irelia > DPS Sion in a 1v1. The two matches I've played with Irelia I went against a dps Sion and I raped him every time we went 1v1 against eachother.

dps sion vs irelia? lolol dps sion will win always.. like 9000% lifesteal = win

yeah really dps sion is better..... guarenteed stun and shield life leach and pwnd lol he has f*** 100% lifesteal there is no way he can lose when he crits for 300 at level 3

I honestly can't say that I've played her, but Irelia DOES have the true dmg on her w, no? giver her a bloodrazor and some damage items and she should be able to kill pretty much anything... Armor is useless due to true damage, health is useless due to bloodrazor...

new champions interest me, however I cannot aford her therefore I have no experiance with her, also however i have seen enuff to know she needs some tweeks, because i can almost always kill her on ANY champion with relative ease.
just seems to me like she's a heavy lategame carry, and her potential really doesnt cut it early/mid game, witch to me really is just broken, because i can shut her down completely so easily.
I suppose however that if your opposing team doesnt realize this, and they let you get away with too much (as usualy is seen in pubgames) then yes she can be quite usefull.
