I've never tried ap Irelia but my natural response to this claim " Ap Irelia does WAY more damage than AD" was of complete negativity and resistance lol.

For a start have you ever seen a full ad irelia? i haven't literally ever in all my lol games (several thousand), Irelia built with 2 items Botrk and Trinity can eliminate squishies in a couple of seconds and that's only 2 very low damage items, that's why she's built tanky cause she quite literally doesn't need more damage, In all honestly it's not the AD irelia cares about it's the attack speed that's why trinity will always be better than lichbane because her Q deals on hit stuff like ezreals q having lifesteal and crit is a good move......... botrk synergises with irelia so well she's basically the best duelist in the game, and unless you're itemising for mana relying on Q'S to farm only (because your autos are so bad) irelia has insane mana issues once you get good with her cause you're clearing waves (for speeds sake) with w and then q's every time as a result i take mana from masteries AND buy 5 mana potions and still i will burn through them very quickly if i'm pushing hard, as ap irelia i imagine this problem gets amplified ridiculously lol, and then you make no use of your passive being a squishy ap champ that can die in a second,

Yea i really don't like this BOTRK is the only item you should be worrying about with irelia once you have it most champions in the game will fall to you.
