general guide on how to counter Irelia

Avoid trading with Irelia when she has her Passive stacked as she will out trade you. Keep an eye on the little bar under her health.

When trading with Irelia, keep an eye on low health minions in your lane. Irelia may use her Bladesurge Q on the minion to escape the trade or run you down after a skirmish.

Irelia benefits from extended trades. Try and avoid going for extended trades with her as she will always win them.

Try and lock Irelia down at the start of the fight. This will make it much harder for her to jump around your team and get resets on her Bladesurge Q.

Avoid fighting too close together as it will allow Irelia to use her Ultimate Vanguard's Edge R on multiple people and allow her Bladesurge Q to reset. Stand together but not super close together.

Try and fight after Irelia uses her Flawless Duet E as it is one of her best tools to start a fight. Ideally, try and also fight around her Ultimate Vanguard's Edge R as it will reduce her chances of getting resets.
