Playing as Quinn
Tips to maximize your impact
- Vault off the melee charging you
Cast Vault (E) on the melee champion charging you: you leap back after the hit, and your target is slowed and marked by Harrier (passive).
- Auto every marked target
Auto every target marked by Harrier (passive): your first auto on them deals bonus damage, and Heightened Senses (W) then gives you speed.
- Trade from range against melee
Against a melee champion, trade from range: Blinding Assault (Q) marks them with Harrier and reduces their vision before your empowered auto.
- Roam with your R
Roam with Behind Enemy Lines (R): after a 2-second channel, you gain a lot of speed, and an auto or a spell ends the flight with an area attack.
Playing against Jax
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.
- Back off during Counter Strike
During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.
- Trade after his E
Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.
- Don't let him split push alone
In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
