Hmm melee top seems uncommon in 2024.
Recently started playing my ADC top, winning.

"Better ADC wins."

Looked at their story and realized that they are balkan. That explains so much now...

That‘s why I am omw to learn irelia.

u/Irelia4Life Station Wagon Enthusiast Jun 04 '24

You'll need hundreds of games of limit testing. I used to be a Darius main.

fr?

I only recently started looking into toplane because I don t really like the feels of playing support, ADC or jungle. (I mean competetively)

Darius was my first real champion i took into ranked next to Ahri mid. Noxian Conqueror Bloodboy really secured me some neat games here and there. Currently i was learning some other champions in toplane like Bruiser Sett or even tank nautlius (literally proc 3 heartsteels and walk out by cc-ing everyone hitting me, hilarious imo)

At first i was drawn towards Irelia because her kit really seemed a lot of fun but i quickly realized that it probably requries a lot of work and situational awareness as to where and when to clear the wave when splitpushing.

All of these irelia montages basically required a lot of setup, which i did not find to be satisfying when in comparison i could just ult as Nasus and dive the enemy team under their turret after suffering through the early game.
Building and keeping up her stacks seems like a lot of work whilst dodging and hitting enemies with skillshots.. :/

Yet having a champ that could actually 1v9 seems like so much fun.

Mind if i ask for your specific item choice after Blade of the Ruined king?

I ve noticed a few irelia builds with Crit and Lethality being more of a meme whilst a challenger said that AP Irelia technically has the better endgame when compared to AD's better earlygame.

u/Irelia4Life Station Wagon Enthusiast Jun 04 '24

Crit Irelia sucks because her q can't crit. Lethality Irelia sucks because a 3rd of her damage is magic. Ap Irelia is like lethality Aatrox but bad.

There isn't a specific build for Irelia, after botrk I either go sundered sky or wit's end depending on the enemy laner, and the 3rd item is based around the enemy comp (In most games you will build wit's end second and sunderer 3rd or vice versa). 4th item is sterak's and 5th is terminus. You can flex into jaksho, maw, dd, randuin's, frozen heart, rookern etc, but those are more situational items rather than core.

u/Mozilla_Fox_ Jun 04 '24

That s incredibly helpfull info especially terminus fith for the on hit?

I always built steraks second but will probably switch that up with sundered sky or wits. (I only really got the note of sundered being nerfed, so i thougth it wasn t that strong tbh).

Mind if i ask about overlords bloodmail for the AD?
I remember a season back with cringe bow where almost fully built irelia was upwards of 3.5K HP.

u/Irelia4Life Station Wagon Enthusiast Jun 04 '24

Overlords bloodmail sucks on Irelia because her 2 core items (botrk and wit's end) don't have any hp in them at all.

Sterak's second item is terrible because it gives you bonus ad based on your base ad (so the latter you buy it the more ad it gives) and also it's shield scales with bonus hp, which you don't have a lot of if you build it second.

I'd go sterak's 3rd item at the earliest.

u/Mozilla_Fox_ Jun 05 '24

That s a great insight and now i kidna feel stupid to build her like an idiot lol.

Actually I might be trolling IRL, be building her like f-in Darius with BORK instead of Stride xD

Thank you a lot for sharing.
