Irelia is one of the few champions in League of Legends who can single-handedly take over a game. She has a kit tailored towards brute-forcing enemies with raw power and cutting them down through sheer physical damage.

As a result, if Irelia tries to go all-in on Tryndamere, he can flash out or use his E to dodge her. If Irelia misses her combo by any chance, she will become a sitting duck.

Once that happens, Tryndamere can launch a counter. If things get dicey, he can pop his ultimate (gives him invulnerability for a few seconds) and cut Irelia down without breaking any sweat.

This is because, in the early game, Volibear
