Once Irelia can dash onto Vlad with Hiten Style active, she starts winning the lane. Her Bladesurge is as long a range as Vlad ability set, and her E directly counters Vlad's sustain by punishing him with stuns. Vlad has no real means of escaping Irelia once she engages on him without pool, and if you pool, you've already lost the trade, and she can just wait for you to pop up, HitenSurge you and lay waste to your blood gorged face.
