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	Favored	427	47%	-64	-314	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.

Ahri	Easy	400	47%	+617	+1,304

Garen	Easy	388	46%	+349	+73	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.

Malphite	Easy	388	48%	+638	+1,824	Once Malphite purchases early armor like Bramble Vest or Plated Steelcaps, he can actually win the 1v1. Your strategy should shift from trying to kill him to simply farming and looking for opportunities to kill his squishier teammates. Do not die to him in lane; a single death will likely cause you to lose all future duels against him until the late game.

Zaahen	Easy	365	48%	+652	+1,028

Darius	Easy	351	48%	+18	+290	Do not get frozen on. Take auto trades against him and q away before he can retaliate against you. Outsustain him and farm up. You hard win when you get bork.
