sometimes. depending on my team i can do that with all of my junglers. im also good at turning lanes. let them push up to the tower while my laners coming up then mandrop
start with spear and max that first then heart seeker. hes the master of turret dives so use that to your advantage but he can still be squishy so watch out for that
in this current meta, she one of the only champs with a reliable, singe target stun, that lasts any duration worth a dam. (2sc at max rank ,1 sec at level 1) all most all other top laners have a semi unreliable stun that doesn't last that long.
his stun is nice, but it doesn't scale well, (in time the damage is nice) and even the slightest bit of tanactiy makes it almost worthless in terms of time a person is locked down. the fury bonus is nice, but is hard to use correctly, especially when ruining away.
What do you mean his stun doesn't scale well? It scales 1.5x his total attack damage which is pretty great, and the fury bonus puts it at 2.25x. The duration of it is a big downside, but it doubles to 1.5 seconds if you have 50 fury, which you most likely will have, and it's enough to get a kill. If you're running away it's difficult to use but if you play it right with your e you can get away. Overall I think he's just a more viable champion, he's always been a massive bully in lane and I personally think only darius could beat him in terms of being a lane bully. Irelia is still a great champion though, she's got a great kit and ass and can really make teams panic if she gets the ball rolling.
Also, Renekton is more dangerous to dive than Irelia because of his ult which gives him a bunch of health and can be used to bait, then stun for the same duration as Irelia.
Nasus is an even greater threat due to his similar ult and long, strong slow.
True damage doesn't really make her much of a diving threat, just a general threat
Like someone else said, the stun will really only be 1 second while diving is still risky.
All she can really do is stun you under tower.
That's an early silver gank, in bronze they come, the enemies start to run away, and they just keep coming then go die under tower in frustration or they come the enemies back off and they just sit there for 2-3 minutes hoping they'll push out again.
the only problem is if you push too far so that it isnt a safe gank for him and he has to wait for the other player to push back. its happened to me a lot. i go into the bush and my top laner with no cc goes full lane push
