So I have some problems recently on picking which champ to counter irelia top. It might be an old topic, but I am not consistently on the Irelia page, so I apprecitate every constructive answer u can give me. I tried Renekton and Udyr (while I am not so experienced with Udyr and a bit out of shape with Renek.) But I really gave my best to harass her early. But still, even in her early levels she could beat my dmg output as soon as she took her W. And it felt like my dmg output was just absorbed by a whole lot of armor, even though our armor stats were nearly even. It might sound ridiculous, but the only way imo to counter a true dmg based champ, is to have a champ that deals even more true dmg. ^^ So I had some games before with Darius vs. Irelia and I destroyed every single Irelia I met (maybe he needs a bit balancing still, but that shouldn't be the topic now). AND Olaf who is probably her best counter pick by "outdamaging" her with true dmg (there might be more reasons why Olaf can counter her). However I haven't bought Olaf yet, and I think there must be more ways to not only handle, but also to kill Irelia. Is Irelia really so dominant that no one that really mains these early aggression champs can counter her, besides u take a even more true dmg dealing champ ? Sry, but I am a bit mad about this.
