Is Quiyana even a damn jungler?
Seeing a lot of People Play her on lanes, and the reveal wasnt really clear enough for me. Is she a jgler as in officially, or is she a jungler the same way sion or Poppy work there? Not intended for, but still works?

She is a solo lane AD assassin. Champion Roadmap: April 2019
This new champion will be a solo lane AD assassin.
She is an ad mid lane assassin. She has potential to be a jg, but her jg clear needs to be good in order for that to happen. I haven’t been able to play her yet, but she’s definitely supposed to be in the mid lane.
in the games i have played with her in them she so far seems to do best jungle but that has been like 4 games. 1 game mid where she was trashed and 3 games jungle where 2 was good and one was meh
She works, but she doesn't have a healthy clear. She's good at ganking and moving around the map, but not much else. It's better to be in the midlane where you can catch people for your jungler and roam with your movement speed rather than be the jungler.
She's from the jungle, not a jungler. She was always intended to be a solo-laner, but if it works, it works?
No shes a top or a mid.
= shes unkillable. And will wipe your team. 1v5 champion, easily perm banned.
Worse than this champion. Finally something worse... Sigh. Game needs more of that... Oh yea....
The latter. She takes significant clear damage on her first 2 clears, and is compensated by itemization.
In LANE, she just needs to W rock walls to farm. She can use Q Twice in succession if she Q > W > Q's, which is PLENTY to clear a wave in lane.
Once she has itemization, she's a decent jungler with near insta clear of multiple camps at the same time. She is one of the best wall jumpers in the game, because unlike champs like Talon who are limited to once per wall, and champs like Nidalee needing a target, her W doesn't need a target other than terrain... it's basically a free 100% success wall jump that will never get you stuck on the wrong side of the wall because of a bad leap.
Qiyana's one big weakness is on hit skirmishers/adcs who are designed around auto attacking rather than skills, like Miss Fortune, Yi, etc.
Her kit once mastered will hard counter casters, because she has up to FIVE disrupts in her kit; Up to 3 River CC with Q, and 2 on her ult with delayed action. Once people time her R to hit someone launching a skill shot, she'll be dangerous, because not only will it stop the skill shot with the knockback, but it follows up with a stun 1 second later.... disrupting whatever dashes or secondary skills the person was going to use to avoid the damage on her R.
Shes an unintended jungler, in the same way you can have Nasus, Poppy, Sion, Camille and Ekko jungle.
