Lolking takes about 3% of the ranked games into it's statistics, I hardly think that Lolking win ratios are all about how good a champion is relatively. I maintain that while the increase to cost on her items may have hurt her, the diversity in new items plus the change in masteries leads to an overall buff. Win ratios are in flux anyway right now, black cleaver stacking is pretty silly and leads to advantages for those champs who benefit most from building it, Irelia does not build it typically. Although she could. If you took win ratios seriously just by those numbers you may say Talon is OP, he just hit 70 ish % win ratio. And it really isn't his fault, its the fact that black cleavers are such an abusable stackable item. Don't trust Lolking statistics.

You are also trying to use zephyr as a completed item. Remember, you can build in parts. So you can build stinger, phage, and Sheen all for about 3k. Upgrading those into trinity, Zephyr, and so on helps quite a bit. For 3k you get 200 something hp, some AD, some AP, most of a trinity proc, 10% CDR, and 40% attack speed.
