Cassiopeia
My permaban,biggest threat to Irelia outside top,really high damage,better scaling,and most importanly her W prevents you from using Q,talking away your mobility and a lot of healing since u cant jump on low hp minions to heal or into marked enemies
Champion Build Guide
You want to take Triumph as It is the best rune of his group,It is so useful,that healing on kill can really Mark a difference both in lane and in TF
Here is where It gets interesting,almost any rune of Alacrity Bloodline and Tenacity is viable here,however,for the reason i exposed before, Alacrity is not optimal if you are building Trinity as mythic(things change if you build shieldbow) Tenacity is a good choice against heavy cc teams,but in the other cases Bloodline is the optimal,even thought life-steal went from 12 to 9%,It is still a good rune
At last,It is between Coup de Grace and Last Stand personally,i preffer Coup de Grace,as i find It more useful at the state the game is right now,but Last stand is still a good choice,its not like Irelia is Tryndamere,but still you can get quite damage out of the rune
For the secondary runes you go either Inspiration with Time Warp Tonic and Biscuit Delivery or my favourite go Domination with Sudden Impact and Ravenous Hunter despite nerfs to Ravenous Hunter It is still a really good rune,i preffer Domination because It is better for late game as well as better overall,Inspiration is better for top since It gives more sustain and is good in top because It takes longer to come from base so the less you back the less you lose and thats why sustain is important,in mid however,lane is shorter and you reach your lane before so backing doesnt make you lose so much time
As first Ãtem you can go either Trinity Force Immortal Shieldbow or even Blade of the Ruined King.you will take BOTRK when you are under heavy poke in lane but you are not building shieldbow,since Trinity doesn't give any Life steal,you miss some sustain in lane,building Vampiric Scepter to build It into BOTRK gives you a very nice sustain to help you in lane against those annoying poke champ in mid like Xerath
If not you can go either go Trinity Force or Immortal Shieldbow main difference is that shieldbow gives lifesteal and is usually followed by a Guinsoo if you follow that kind of build,this build has stronger Life steal in teamfights and makes you last longer and is strong in long 1v1. Trinity build has better scaling,and its mythic passive is more useful than the one from shieldbow
Now with that decided,lets get on the rest of items:
From Immortal Shieldbow you'll be building Guinsoo's Rageblade as second and from there,mostly more on-Hit damage items like Blade of the Ruined King or Wit's End,or items like Death's Dance or Guardian Angel,basically more Hp and resistances to survive the one-shoot items that are everywhere now. Ravenous Hydra is also a good item im building in both items as It gives a lot of Lifesteal,AD and Ability Haste and also its passive is useful(It was so long since i last built Tiamat and It feels really good to have It back on the build :) Note: Sterak's Gage is not compatible with this build as It and Shieldbow share same lifeline passive meaning only 1 of the 2 will activate
On the Trinity Forcebuild,you'll be building Blade of the Ruined King and from there,you can choose between Ravenous Hydra which is what im building right now or you can build Death's Dance is still a very good item against AD burst,or even Wit's End against heavy AP,as 4th item for me Sterak's Gage is a must buy as It gives some healing but most importanly anti-burst with extra HP and its shield from passive which is too important to ignore right now.As last you can build Guardian Angel if you are very important for your team or any of the previous items (Death dance,Wit's....) That you didnt buy as 3rd item
In both builds you will be looking for the Elixir of Wrath over the Elixir of Iron unless they have many CC
Keep in mind all of this will change as better or more efficient builds are created and items are changed by Riot
