Out of all the solo top champs I lane against as Irelia...I just lose to Gangplank... I go armor pen reds, flat armor yellows, scaling mr blues, ms quints and start off with Cloth armor with 5 pots but even then...GP just owns me...esp. when he gets Brawler's Gloves and/or Ignite...

Basically he Parley's me and then melees me when I go in for last hit. And if I don't Bladesurge in...then I just get zoned out and he gets farmed while I don't...yet if I do...I get harassed more than I can heal back easily. Then when I ES him (which does stun him since I have less hp)...he just eats his oranges...

I've even rushed Chain Vest but for some reason that is still ineffective in mitigating the damage he deals to me....does Tabi's unique effect mitigate his Parley dmg? I wouldn't think so.

Basically I'm unsure how to itemize/play against him...ATM if I see GP I just feel like I've lost already...
