Irelia just needs a minion wave to close the gap, and there's always a minion wave.

The Irelia matchup is frustrating in a very specific way: the thing that's supposed to protect you is the thing she uses to reach you. Every wave is a ladder and by the time she's on top of you her attack speed is already stacked. That's annoying, but it's also the exact mechanic that every answer to her attacks.

Paranoia [R] is the only ability in the game that turns your monitor off, and the reason it feels unfair is that it mostly is.

Losing to Nocturne rarely feels like losing a fight. The screen darkens, you lose your team, and then a champion arrives from a direction you had no way to check. That's a legitimately miserable experience and it's worth banning over. It also has a shape, and once you can see the shape, most of the deaths stop happening.
