Hmm I've mained Irelia for a long period of time. But I have never come across early game weakness. The only early game weakness in my opinion is only level 1 and 2. The moment I achieve Hiten, B-Surge and E. Strike, It's practically my lane, unless I vs someone like Jayce, which is nothing but a bully when I try to farm.

And towards getting ganked, if your prone to getting aimed and such, I recommend Ghost. I tend to get targetted strongly when Mid loses their lane, to the point it causes somewhat like a global taunt, basically, keep 3 wards on you everytime you leave the base. Who cares if your 12 gold shy off your next item, it prevents death. Which gives you an advantage over the jungler and the laner. You may be able to even cost the jungler a minute or two in waiting.

I've completely learned how to play Irelia and know her full potential, and trust me, Fiora, is walking food.
