Irelia's ult is the only thing of hers that scales with AD. It's absurd to say that Bladesurge scales with AD, it's essentially an autoattack. Would you say that Bladesurge scales with Wit's End? Would you say it scales with Triforce? Because spoiler alert, she increases her damage on Q more efficiently with either of those items than she does with AD.

If you get a Last Whisper on Irelia, you are playing the wrong champion. Irelia has ZERO carry steroids. ZERO. Not a one. No AS, no AD, no crit. Last Whisper and Bloodthirster are items that you get on carries. Play Master Yi, Fiora, or Tryndamere if you want to build a melee champion like that, since those guys actually have built-in triple multiplicative scaling.

Meanwhile, in reality, Irelia is an Assassin. Items like BT are for people who don't understand how her kit works.
