Irelia Mid matchup tips

  1. Irelia vs Zed Mid - Irelia can recover much of Zed's WEQ poke with Q resets, while Defiant Dance(W) reduces the physical Q damage in his combo if she times the charge as the shuriken lands. If Zed fails to finish her in the short trade, her passive stacks and sustain let her continue a longer fight, supporting Irelia's low-Elo advantage.
  2. Irelia vs Malzahar Mid - Use Bladesurge(Q) to clear Malzahar's voidlings and chain dashes through the wave, but wait for Malzahar's passive to be down before committing; play around your Ionian Fervor(P) stacks and avoid an all-in under his turret.
  3. Irelia vs Mel Mid - Let Mel push the wave toward your side and keep low-health minions available for Q resets; use a minion dash to dodge Solar Snare(E) before turning back onto her.

How these matchup statistics are calculated

Counter and synergy statistics use Ranked Solo/Duo games, exclude matches shorter than 600 seconds, and group results by patch window, region, rank scope, and champion role.

Pairwise pages use a rolling three-patch window and compare observed win rate with a log-odds expected win rate based on each champion's role-adjusted baseline; listed pairs require at least 1,000 games.
