Gwen vs Irelia question
Hi Irelia mains,
I'm a gwen OTP and was wondering how to play the bounce against irelia? Waves 1-2 I always try and get prio and do a fast 2 wave crash so she cannot stack passive. If she tries fighting me for prio, I give as she wins the all-in. However, the wave inevitably bounces and unlike most match ups where slow pushing into hard push allows for a big wave to build up and protect you against an all in, irelia benefits from a slow pushing wave since she can spam Q and instantly get passive to all-in me. Pre-6 it is very scary for gwen to play the bounce since I had this irelia keep trying to and successfully cheesing me by sitting in the bush and killing me. So how do I play the bounce if Irelia may be sitting in a bush waiting for me to slow push a wave for her passive?
