Who beats irelia at top lane?
Haha, I literally asked this in the ingame chat channel earlier today and was googling about it. So far I have the following ideas:
* Teemo (try to blind, probably a terrible idea, just saw someone mention it...oh and you'll run out of mana)
* Jax (jump on her?)
* Riven
* Nasus (make it into a farm fest and do more damage than her if the game goes on forever?)
*edit* I think I saw Yorick mentioned too, and he sounds like a good idea though I guess Irelia would reduce the slow duration.
I like Riven but never figured out how to beat Irelia. Someone in the chat channel told me to buy runes to get 25 arpen, so I did. I then played a 1v1 round with that person and died horribly to their Irelia...so apparently I'm just doing it wrong in general. Supposedly there's some area where you can position yourself next to minion and farm them while simultaneously saving your Q to do double hop and one escape damage to Irelia.
I think the other piece of advice people were giving may be to not push the lane, since Irelia likes farming under her own tower and it's really hard to gank her.
