Playing as Quinn

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Malphite

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Pop his shield before trading

    Break Granite Shield (passive) with a cheap hit before taking a real trade: it absorbs 10% of his max health and triples his bonus armor.

  2. Lean on magic damage

    If you deal magic damage, lean on it in trades: his only resistances come from Thunderclap (W), which only gives armor.

  3. Trade when his mana runs low

    Trade when his mana runs low: Seismic Shard (Q) costs 70 to 90 mana, and it's his only ranged slow.

  4. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, only step up if he's visible: Unstoppable Force (R) comes from far away, nothing stops it, and its impact knocks every enemy in the area into the air.

  5. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Unstoppable Force (R), spread out from your allies in teamfights: the impact knocks every enemy in the area into the air.
