Playing against Qiyana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Avoid fights near walls and the river: her R stuns against these elements.
Her W needs to touch terrain: in the middle of the lane, she has fewer options.
Qiyana is squishy and weak early — punish her before level 3 when she gets her combo.
If she takes the bush element, watch for the invisibility: control wards reveal her.
