^We, by saying that, don't mean to say that Irelia is weaker because those champions exist, but are trying to say instead that she isn't invincible or unbeatable. You can give Irelia a run for her money, just know what she does and know your champion equally as well.

...I actually want to impress that last part for further emphasis. If you try to lane against Irelia with champions that supposedly "hard counter" Irelia and are unfamiliar with those champions, don't expect to get an easy win. It's been said on this very wiki page, Irelia can beat her "counters" if she is more skilled than they are (which is just as true for every other match-up in the game).
