Irelia vs Vex Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Irelia against Vex (Mid) is tracked here with real ranked data rather than theorycraft. Across 562 recorded games on patch 16.13.1, Irelia wins 42.4% of the time against Vex. That places Vex among Irelia’s toughest opponents right now — the win rate sits clearly below the break-even line, which is exactly why this matchup is flagged as a counter.
Win rate and sample size are the two numbers to trust here: the more games behind a matchup, the more stable its rating from patch to patch. The stats refresh automatically every 48 hours from ranked games at Emerald and above, so this page always reflects the current meta rather than an old snapshot.
