Who counters Irelia?

She has insane sustain, a gap closer, a slow and stun, a ranged poke that does decent damage early and mid game, true damage, who counters her? So far she's a unfun champion to play against, and many people have been abusing her lately.

Rumble can do pretty well early on at least.

riven

disengage when she uses her W, engage when her W is on cd

Attack speed debuffs work well against her. So Frozen Heart is a good choice to build. You can go Warwick, Lee Sin, Olaf counters her early+mid pretty well, you might want to try vlad as well.

Riven can still bully Irelia if the Irelia player is not confident enough. Riven's mobility means she can harass and even stop Irelia from harassing, so Riven can win every exchange.

Cho Gath doesn't really win, but he doesn't lose either. His sustain is good but also he clears minions very quickly. If you can safely keep Irelia pushed back she is out of the game (She needs to farm so she will stay in lane).

I'd like to say Shyvana counters her but the lack of CC really means Irelia can power through the harass.

Teemo also should win vs her. Tryndamere too.

Riven in very-early.. Olaf can handle her. Rumble can.
Shyvanna is also a gould pick, as you can just push the lane fast and sit pick.
Tryn and Teemo dont work imho.

Pantheon.

If you promise not to laugh .. Poppy wrecks Irelia.
