Irelia is still very strong, indeed. Not OP, but strong and difficult to play against. The key is to not let her farm and to not let her heal up with W's passive. Oh yes, and NEVER, NEVER ever put a squishy against her without a support.

Irelia eats squishies for breakfast, even if she builds tanky, because of W's active and overall good damage output. Against other offtanks and tanks she is at a good point if farmed. If Irelia is not farmed enough...her opponent can crush her, as she is squishy as hell.

A good counter for her is for example Morgana in top lane - Her shield block's Irelia's cc, her snare roots her in a place for quite a time, the soil makes it dangerous for Irelia to stand inbetween the creeps and the passive allows her to sustain yourself.
