Playing against Qiyana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Avoid fights near walls and the river: her R stuns against these elements.

2

Her W needs to touch terrain: in the middle of the lane, she has fewer options.

3

Qiyana is squishy and weak early — punish her before level 3 when she gets her combo.

4

If she takes the bush element, watch for the invisibility: control wards reveal her.
