This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Irelia.

When playing alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by pairing Yorick and Irelia together, you probably will not be granting your other allies much crowd control. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Irelia ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
