How to Play This Matchup
Early Aggression
Irelia needs to punish Veigar before they scale. Zone them off CS levels 1-5 and look for solo kills before first back. If Veigar reaches 2 items even, you're in trouble.
Mixed Resistances
Irelia deals AD damage while Veigar deals AP. Build resistances accordingly  don't stack the wrong type.
