What are some tips for the Irelia vs. Jax matchup?

This is arguably Irelia's worst matchup. Your only path to victory is if the Jax player makes significant errors. You must kite away from his E; use your Q on minions to create distance. If you can't escape, use your W to mitigate the damage. The only time you can trade or all-in is when his E is on cooldown. He will heavily outscale you in the 1v1, so your strategy must be to shove the wave, roam, and kill his squishier teammates.

Jax	Easy	183	48%	+126	-111	This is arguably Irelia's worst matchup. Your only path to victory is if the Jax player makes significant errors. You must kite away from his E; use your Q on minions to create distance. If you can't escape, use your W to mitigate the damage. The only time you can trade or all-in is when his E is on cooldown. He will heavily outscale you in the 1v1, so your strategy must be to shove the wave, roam, and kill his squishier teammates.

Garen	Easy	181	43%	+204	-26	This matchup has become much more difficult recently. You must use your W to mitigate his Q's silence and damage, and then kite away from his E. The lane can be won if you play the first level correctly and secure an early advantage. Once you complete Blade of the Ruined King, he has very little chance of winning a 1v1. Play around his W; either disengage when he uses it or continue fighting if you are already winning the trade.

Renekton	Easy	173	50%	+154	+664	You have a very strong level 1 if you can get to lane on time and build your passive stacks on the wave. Abuse this early advantage. The matchup is about playing around his Fury bar. Use your W to mitigate his stun; a good time to use it is when he reaches 50 Fury, as that's when he will likely look to engage. You can look for trades or all-ins when his abilities are on cooldown or his Fury is low.

Sett	Hard	160	44%	-426	-351	You must play around Bone Plating, as without it, he can nearly kill you with a few auto-attacks. Focus on soaking experience and avoid fighting him and his jungler in a 2v1. Use your W to mitigate the damage from his Q, and use your own Q to dodge the true damage portion of his W. Your win condition is to survive the lane and dive his backline in mid-to-late game teamfights. If he wastes his W and you can bait out his E, you have a clear window for an all-in.

Jayce	Easy	156	57%	+838	+1760	Against a skilled Jayce, this lane can be hell. Focus on getting to your Vampiric Scepter without taking excessive poke damage; taking Second Wind is recommended. Your kill opportunities arise when he positions too close to low-health minions, allowing you to Q to them to close the gap. Always use your W to mitigate the damage from his hammer-stance knockback.
