OP. Well that's true, and the same item that give Irelia trouble also can give more problematic tops, like Shen and Jax, issues as well. I can definately see an Irelia v Jax lane being won depending on who build Warden's Mail first, and just as well can see Gangplank being quite viable against tops like Shen since EC is so good on him, and the healing reduction is so good against Shen.

Of course that doesn't mean Irelia, Jax, Shen, etc. can't adapt as well and build in response to such measures; it just mean that these once quite-dominant tops now have more to think about.
