Because she has the perfect kit to destroy a melee.

bro i literally can't even force myself to play because i can't do anything. the only thing i want to do is get out of that game. i make a lot of complain threads and i exaggerate often. however most of these aren't "op threads" its just fraustration factors with certain champions. like currently i think kennen is the most op champion but i never created a thread about him because he isn't nearly as frustrating to play against as some other champions. like i dont think cassiopeia is op i just think shes too annoying to play against. same thing with ahri shes just bullies everyone and make their lane miserable.

i mean why do you design a champion to make someone's life miserable. the least i should be allowed to do is farm safely under my turret . not have 1/4th of quinn cs and get chunked under turret every time her passive is up its just unplayable. hell i dont want to win but i just want to not get oppressed into oblivion in lane.

Honestly I fully support top/jungle Quinn (I also hate it) because I feel she fits as someone who ends up fighting melee guys solo often. That being said, she does weaken her team by losing a frontlinger, though depending on how the game goes it hardly matters.

The biggest problem imo is that because she's ranged she can really bully someone without ever falling off given how ADC items scale into late game. It's a problem.

seriously, her kit legit means "Fuck every melee top laner"

Because top lane is cancer, and nearly nothing survives in top lane except cheap click2win champions. I am fairly sure quinn's vault is actually a 1.5 second stun, no matter what the tooltip says it does. Nothing beats having 50% of your hp chunked by a completely unavoidable attack. All i can suggest is to pick a mage into her (or anyone who outranges her), if you have the chance. Taliyah, Ahri, LB, probably Ryze, could all trash her pretty easily.

This is really not a fun season for melee top laners, though.

I'd actually rather play against Teemo top than Quinn, her kit is just awful to play against, it just makes me want to dive into a meat grinder head first.

Plays Darius I bet... Yup.

It's not the champion, it's the matchup. Darius messes up some other champions just as hard (e.g. Poppy). You just need to not let her get a heavy health lead on you early (i.e. don't go for a CS if you're going to take a bad trade...) and then with higher health farm under turret AND call for jungle help. Get an early thornmail or other big armor item then just ignore her.

Top lane is frankly the worst lane right now for balance. There are a lot of very unequal matchups with terrible laning phases for an otherwise okay champion. Due to that, if you want to play top you've got to be willing to play a matchup where all you can do is clench really hard and not die until your jungler can help you out or you can outscale / roam to help the team.

Malphite? Her only counter?

Akali counters her so hard it isn't even funny. Wait until 6 with 0 cs and 4 deaths and akali can still 100-0 Quinn at will.

Irelia dumpsters her. Maokai does well against her (after w'ing her just kite back to her turret so she can't e off you). Pantheon can win lane against her (but he'll get outscaled).

Quinn is cancer but its possible to beat her if u dont feed pre6 after that her ult generally isnt as useful for fighting u 1v1 in lane

I don't understand the downvotes TBH.

I used to play top lane last season, and she was the absolute worst to lane against. Quinn top has been flaring up like a nasty sore every few months or so for years. She comes into the meta for a moment, then flies back out for a few more months.

Thankfully not many people are playing her at the moment, which is probably why you're getting downvoted. When you do come in contact with one though it hurts, it hurts a lot.

Riot should address her because she isn't a new problem. She is not like Teemo either.

In my mind she symbolizes the end game for this obsession with making marksmen our all powerful overlords. The good part of Quinn is that she doesn't scale smoothly without someone feeding her. However she's not weak early game, and her range and blind can really force you under tower. It's not fun.

If you must play a melee against her I would advise picking something like BS Irelia to deal with her.
