New to Irelia, just learning to play her. Want to ask a question: why BloodThirster seems such a bad option on Irelia? I mean it got decent damage, synergizes with her W and gives temporary shield. I do quite good with it, as 1st-2nd item, but ppl usually laugh when they see I got it in my inventory. So can some1 clarify to me: what so bad about it?
