It's not about dueling or trading or winning in a solo lane or anything like Vlad.

It's the fact that she has everything you want from a bruiser and an assasin in one class. She can beat any AD carry/bruiser in lane once she has some levels, she can 1v1 just about anyone, and she transitions from a strong solo lane dominant hero into a powerful anti carry. She requires several people to peel her off your carriers. No champion can do ALL of that. Hell, most champions can't even do half of what Irelia does.
