Irelia is countered by crowd contro- oh wait. She's countered by building heavy armo- oh wait.

She's supposed to have a bad early game but that is actually far from true, her early game is only weak in comparison to her late game. Basically if you want to win your lane against Irelia, you need to take a huge advantage before she hits 6/9, because she will outscale you and will most likely destroy you no matter how far behind she was.

Maybe Jax would be able to get an advantage and keep it because he also scales super hard into late game, even if Irelia scales even harder.
