Overall, Irelia sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Thresh. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This change may indicate that Thresh does not support by providing protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Irelia is played alongside Thresh on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Thresh.

Moreover, when Irelia plays with Thresh on the same team, she often takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Thresh does a decent job of protecting Irelia in team fights.

Is Irelia better when played alongside Thresh?

There is no one best synergy for Irelia that will 100% of the time be her best synergy. Yet, Thresh is a relatively poor teammate for Irelia. By being on the same team as Irelia, he drops their win rate by -2.7% to 47.1%. This shows that there is a bad bond between Irelia and Thresh that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Thresh has a greater difficulty than Irelia. That means Irelia players should be very careful when enlisting Thresh comrades to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Irelia players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to support your allies. When paired, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.

Although, by grouping Irelia and Thresh together, you may not be granting your team much protection for burst damage. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that helps cover this relative hole in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Thresh ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
