._. Your supposed to go tanky as Irelia. A glass-cannon Irelia is just a Defeat waiting to happen. As Irelia you should play her more of a bruiser than a Q-Kser or Q-Finisher. I never feed within my lane as Irelia because of her strong sustain and passive farming potential, especially Fiora, she's the easiest person to fight at top for me as Irelia since shes so squishy. All you have to do is make sure she doesn't get any free hits on you, so when she does engage you, and assuming you ward on a regular basis like me, you can just stand there and hit her back. More than likely if she's doing more damage, take the advantage to slowly pull them between minion agro and stun them. As long as she doesn't ignite you first, and you use your ult as Irelia, aim for her and the back minions, a properly aimed Ult, can give you back nearly 1/4 per shot.

They rely on their highspeed burst, so just stun her during her E, and then you can just sit back while her E is going to waste. It's all about timing.
