Qiyana needs some urgent buff

Ηuawei·6/29/2019, 10:19:37 AM·13 votes·4,904 views

I get it, people dont know how to play her but she literally got nothing going on for herself.

Her dash is nothing but a dash. No shields or att speed buffs etc like other champs etc. Her Q doesnt do any damage. I can throw 2 Qs back to back and i still do damage that another champ would do with just 1 skill Her W is practically a mini dash and doesnt do anything by itself besides buffing and reseting your other skills. Her ultimate is very underwhelming if you dont manage to make someone hit a wall ior if the fight is not at the river.

She has no shield to actually survive to do any damage.

Your only real skill is your Q, all your other skills are there so you can use your Q. E gives you distance to use your Q, W resets your Q.

She feels like a very bad diana.

I cant remember a time nobody plays the champion on release day. I practically get a free pass right now. Nobody bans or plays Qyana

She must be the only assasin that doesnt deal any damage at the moment

Riot may have made her an "assassin" but they made her that in the same way vi is a "top laner", in short she is an hp stacking bruiser who runs either conquerer/grasp primary into tiamat + cleaver or triforce if doing good. She will never be an assassin with the kit she has.

No no no NO

She is VERY Strong. Issue is that people dont know how to play her and she has a higher base skill needed to be played then Annie.

i think her damage is fine especially bcause her skills are spammable. I was able to trade out with darius early untill he got phage and bleed me for 400 with only autos. i think she has massive manna issues but thats about it her ult is skill or nothing simple

She has a high skill level. Give it time

She was literally just released. Riot needs more time than just one day to see where she is at currently. -.-

Let's wait a bit longer than a day before panic-buffing the high-skill assassin because people don't know how to play her yet.

I like her but i guess maybe a little bit more range.. Perhaps on her green element? so you can stay invis longer?

It's honestly a bit frustrating seeing people spam for a buff on her when she hasn't even been out for a week. Look at her win rate the last few days. Pro players have steadily been getting an increased win rate on her as they learn how to play her. She needs to be left alone at least until 9.15. She needs 2 full patches before Riot can go changing stuff. People don't know how to play her and the people who do know how to play her are abusing her because people don't know how to play AGAINST her (fyi don't stand beside a wall. Her ult is literally a supercharged Condemn).

I think she needs to be slightly tankier and see some possible range increases, but apart from that she's fine.

Remember what happened with Yuumi? Dont make Riot buff someone thats already broken. Shes simply bad in low elo but everywhere else she is a design disaster just like Akali. Maybe try and learn her for more than a day like everyone else.

Been playing a tonne of Qiyana and I can tell you for a fact that she is not weak. She is nowhere near weak and she is decently strong. Look at my match history and you'll see that I must be doing something right. Her early game is one of the best in the entire game. START W FIRST. There is no point starting Q first since you can't get an element. Your passive is super strong. Wind element is busted on her, level 3 have wind element ready with W up and just go in with E. Q to get the stealth and reposition to get Earth and auto-attack then Q. You 100 - 0 people early game, it's insane. Her ultimate paired with an Earth Q does insane damage. Her ult isn't supposed to be used for the damage it's supposed to be used for utility.

Qiyana has an insanely high skill cap, I'm still learning stuff as I go. You can animation cancel your AA into your E for example. Your level 1 is the best if an enemy makes the mistake of coming close to you. Have an element ready and just AA - W - AA again and you do half their health bar. She is in a very good place right now but knowing Riot she will be buffed because she has a low win rate. I hope not though since then she'll be gutted and permabanned.

There's tonnes of tips you learn as you play her a bit. More than I can write here, but she doesn't need a buff at all.
