^ Since when is he squishier than Irelia? Especially since most Mundo's love rushing Warmog's as first complete item? Oh, and obviously regening 70% of your 4000+ HP bar over 12 seconds by late game is pretty insignificant for you. Made all the more Ironic considering your picture is Master Yi who takes roughly 2 seconds to focus down after he Alpha Strikes into a teamfight.

^^ Ofcourse, If all 3 have the same farm, and all had a mutually easy early game, Irelia would have more of an impact mid/late. But you're comparing Apples and Oranges here. Mundo and Shen are notorious among solo tops for having a very good early, while Irelia is known for having the exact opposite. Both have powerful low CD harass, inbuilt sustain/shield and moreover neither have any kind of mana limitations to abuse them, in contrary to Irelia. If as Shen/Mundo you allow Irelia to have an easy early game laning against you, you're doing it wrong and deserve to lose. However, If the Shen and Mundo are actually some good and manage to take advantage of Irelia early, yes, even though she's naturally strong mid game, if they manage to drive you out of lane/kill you multiple times, get good farm and dominate early and therefore end up with better items they can easily be better than Irelia even in late.
