Do not forget you have a team to back you up. And being an assasin you only have to go in get you Q+E and start running while casting TB which will make sure you survive until you are out of the fight. As with all the assasins and melee mages your job is to go in and burst the carry down. AP sion is the exact same thing. His passive is not really noticable late game and that shield which will absorb about 800? damage? Also minor, plus he has no teamfight sustain. And he cannot spam his shield or his stun. I think that you didn't realise the way I played her. I played her the way I play akali. Go in burst the squishy, leave. Not go in and stay. It is nice that TB doesn't restrict the movement when you cast them so they are perfect once you stun, jsut run away casting them and in those few seconds the carry is dead. Timing TB is good when you are fighting 1v1 not in a teamfight. And I would never even try to time TB to proc lichbane in a teamfight when you may die as fast as the squishy you just bursted. And if you are playing trinity tank Irelia (assasin role) you still have to go in and kill the carry, but guess what, the carry deals and lifesteals tons more damage than you. You are just a soak late game which pull nice damage against supports, everyone knows that if you build trinity tank Irelia you will get out-dpsed lategame by other Trinity tanks or even some shen with a thornmail. If you build an initiator say goodbye to killing the squishy not enough damage, you can only peel the enemies from your carry and probably zone the AD carry cause they are always afraid of getting a 2sec stun on their faces if they don't build mercs. So you should just try the build, it was ny first time with an AP build even though it was to troll I had good results, the build ofcourse is not perfect and I know how to improve it. Till next time.
