Irelia Counters

Every matchup listed here, both the ones that beat Irelia and the ones Irelia beats, comes from live ranked Top lane data. At the moment Irelia has the most trouble against Vel’Koz, Galio, and Warwick, where her win rate falls furthest under her overall average. Vel’Koz is the toughest of the three: Irelia takes only 41.0% of 134 recorded games against him. On the other side, Irelia has an edge over Jayce, Ryze, and Aurora, which are good picks to aim for during champion select.

Each card displays Irelia’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it’s based on. A result drawn from tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. Easy, Even, and Hard labels are assigned from the win rate itself: anything under 48% is marked Hard, and anything over 52% is marked Easy. These labels only help with reading the numbers and aren’t a separate statistic. The figures come from ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, using patch 16.13.1, and they update every 48 hours so they keep pace with the meta. Matchups are only part of the decision, so check the current Irelia build for her best items and runes, or visit the Irelia champion page for her abilities and complete details.
