Honestly, the saying shouldn't be "nerf Irelia" -- it should be "nerf Lee Sin". Irelia has been buffed about as much as she has been nerfed, but Lee has had his W range reduced, passive nerfed, Q's CD, AD ratio, % of missing HP, all for a measly +5 base damage. His Iron Will got its Life Steal and Spell vamp nerfed, then buffed back to old values while losing the bonus armor, and his Safeguard CD got nerfed. Cripple's power early on got nerfed and its range was lowered, Iron will's duration got nerfed, Safeguard duration got nerfed, ward-jumping with it got nerfed BUT I guess it did get its CD lowered for jungle clearing. He's still a meta pick.

Evelynn has surprise because she has no CC/displacement and early on her burst damage is not that great, nor is her MS boost very strong. You don't have to counterjungle her (in fact this plays to her strengths because you can't tell if she's about to come kill you and generally, people will not waste their time leaving their lanes to help kill an invisible enemy in hostile territory) but I would recommend warding her jungle camps to find out where she is.
