| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Irelia | Irelia's Q-reset dodges your Level 1 skillshots and closes range instantly. |
| Level 2 | Irelia | At 2 her mobility lets her all-in through your poke unpunished. |
| Level 3 | Irelia | Her Q minion-resets out-trade you at 3 despite your root threat. |
| Levels 4-5 | Irelia | Through 4-5 she gaps your range for free and you can't kite her. |
| Level 6 | Irelia | At 6 her E stun into R wall kills you before your R fires. |
| First item | Irelia | One item doesn't fix your immobility against her reset chains. |
| Two+ items | Irelia | By 2+ items her Q-resets and W damage-reduction shred you on contact. |
Irelia wins the lane from level 1. Her Q resets let her weave through your skillshots and punish any missed spell, so you cannot poke safely. Treat Q as a reactive root only, farm cautiously behind your minions, and shove to deny her the stacks she wants.
