Kassadin vs Irelia Matchup Summary

The Kassadin vs Irelia matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 18 recent matches analyzed, Irelia wins with a 72.2% win rate compared to Kassadin's 27.8%, giving Irelia a 44.4 percentage point advantage. Irelia dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
