"you can't have decent AP tanks in this game"

huh? Amumu, Ryze, Maokai, Blitzcrank, Swain, Galio, Sejuani, Rumble, Cho'Gath and way way waaaay more champs can build both AP and tanky and still be extremely effective, especially Amumu/Ryze/Mao/Swain/Rumble/Kassadin

AD builds one to two dmg items so yeah there's no chance AD Irelia could match a 6 item AP burst Irelia. At least not for the one second of dmg. AP Irelia would have the ol' mage burst then has to wait for CDs, so in the long run, AD Irelia lives longer, does actually deal more sustained dmg(dmg in general over time as well), disrupts harder and just does everything better. But don't worry I know that you know AD is better or it wouldn't be meta.. Just wanted to say AD Irelia is still way better for damage and that "decent AP tanks" are very strong right now, even in the meta.
