I find Irelia to be one of those 'don't die to carry' type of champions, which if she isn't completely shut down (more than 0/4/1) then she'll intrinsically become a problem.

Her power to build full tank and become an unstoppable juggernaut, can't be matched by anyone except maybe Wukong, Jarvan (her major competitors when it comes to the title of best divers in the game) or Mundo (who has the intrinsic advantage of not scaling on anything except raw defences).

That example of the 0/4/1 game I made above was of my most recient game as her. I got killed repeatedly in lane by the enemy Jax, but then bought a Giant's Belt and found I could dive their 2 carries (Varus and Jungle KhaZix) and drive them away just as easilly as if I was fed (and my actually fed teammates could back me up when they were done 4v3ing the rest of the enemy, I got away with the skin of my teeth more than once).
