Well most toplaners are most vulnerable early on (often not warded before first trip back, bruisers are generally relatively squishy early on, etc), and against Irelia you need to set her behind early = you need to play overly aggressive otherwise you're simply losing your lane on your own, if her jungler knows that he'll gank you when you abuse her early on and you're screwed.

Also about banning her, well I'm not always captain so can't ban her every time. If she becomes super popular again (like before her last nerf), she'll be a common ban again though, I'm pretty sure.
