Re: Comment: "...do a few crowd controls." "...has no get away kind of abilities..."

Not that I play Irelia much, but I just read her abilities. Her passive (plus any tenacity) means that the CC are short lived. Yes, useful, but unless it's a stun/knockup/something similar, doesn't seem all that helpful. Why? Because Bladesurge allows her to catch up or run away, especially if the player is smart and casts it on low minions. She absorbed all the CC for her team, who then stomps you. Just sayin'.

Re: Original Post: As for how to shut her down, team comp and communication are excellent. Don't feed her, and she can't get money (since she is, as mentioned, item dependent). Try to keep her away from her minions by being a bully (if you're aggressive and can pull it off; not easy to do, however). If we're talking team fights and she's the bruiser/tank, if possible, ignore her and kill the rest of the team. 5v1 is scary, even for an Irelia.

If absolutely needed, be a jerk and coordinate with your team to gank her all the time. Nothing wrong with shutting out what would be a good champ.
