How to play it

✓

Answer his R

Post-6, hold your R for his ult: throw it behind you as he exits the Death Mark animation for a guaranteed hit, or block it with your W.

✓

Punish his W

If he ever uses W for cs and steps up, all-in him: before 6 he has to Living Shadow away or he simply dies.

✓

Save Q for his W

Hold your Q for his W so you can dash straight back onto him when he uses it offensively.

✕

Never throw your R away post-6: save it to punish his Death Mark for a free, guaranteed hit.

Irelia vs Zed in Top lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: his R all-in is the only thing that kills you, hold your own R (and W) to answer it.
