ok, one thing at start, don´t bother fight champs as wukong pre8.

i played kong a lot on top lane in gold elo...his lvl2 is by far the strongest from whole league!

lets look at the matchups...what do you have, they DON´T have...right, sustain!

use that!

i usually start rejuvian for health regen, 5 hp-pots and ward. you can also go cloth armor pots and ward. 9.21.0 masteries.

try to survive and farm until u reach ~lvl8, which is the point irelia getting extremly strong!

get phage, randiuns as health/armor items.

if kong comes for a little combo, dont let him get away with it! you can deal a lot dmg too!!! bring out the whole combo on him, you deal true dmg and heal with it! just make sure to not fight him while he got 20minions around.

once u hit lvl8, with phage and wardens mail f.e you should be able to win trades. if he ulti, try Q away on a minion, he might chase u anyways, now u have upper hand and should be able to win fihgts.

against jayce, get ninja tabi asap! to reduce his ranged poke, use bush to hide from it too.

as he is able to hammer you away, engage him with Q on a minion next to him, and after hammer you Q on him. at lvl7...8...you should win trades.

good luck with it, there are stronger counters, with training, a little luck ofc you will win this laning soon ;D
