Viktor vs Irelia in Mid lane is a hard lane on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: her 5-stack all-in is oppressive — never fight into full stacks, and don't get caught by her Q dash while overextended. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Never fight at 5 stacks

Never fight when she has 5 stacks — keep your distance from her Q dash and don't get caught overextended, or you're a free kill.

Play for ganks

Her only game is perma-aggro — if she doesn't leave lane with a lead she's doomed, so beg your jungler for ganks and deny her the snowball.

Start E to farm safe

Let her shove into you and start E so you can last-hit the first three dying melees while landing an E or Q on her from range.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never fight her at 5 stacks or while overextended — that's a free kill for her, so play safe and lean on your jungler.
