Quinn Tips?

Dovahkiin416·Aug 20, 2016·1 votes·978 views

I recently bought .

So far, I've played her top and ADC. I have yet to try her in the jungle.

If any mains would care to look at my match history and give me some tips on my build, or just tips on her in general. It would be greatly appreciated. I'll put my build order below for you guys as well!

Also, if anyone can give me some of her hard counters, that would be awesome.

Thanks guys!

You actually want item 3142 on Quinn most of the time, it's a huge power spike as soon as you get the item, from there the build changes depending on how the game is going and the matchups. If you are snowballing then follow it up with a item 3147 and you can make sure the enemy carries are dead before they can contribute to any team fight, if not it's usually better to go a zeal item, item 3046 is the best for dueling, item 3087 for more waveclear, some people prefer item 3094 as well. Vs tankier lane opponents you can go item 3071 into or build standard and roam.

item 3022 is something you usually want to get later on into a build, rather than as a first item. IE rush isn't that optimal as well, if you're going ADC you might want to still rush item 3142 since the power spike is enough to overwhelm most ADC, or go item 1038 into a zeal item and then upgrade to either item 3031 or item 3508 later on. item 3139 is a great addition to pretty much any build, starting with the item 3140 , preventing lock down is super valuable.

For summoner spells as well I would recommend exhaust, I run it in pretty much every game and it's incredibly versatile, not only preventing damage to you but also providing some light CC and reducing the targets armor.

The runes I usually run are armor pen reds and quints, flat MR blues and flat armor seals. Quinn has great base damage so the armor pen runes actually benefit her a ton, if you don't have them you can still run AD, but they're worth saving up for.

Masteries I go 12/18/0 taking Fury, Double edged sword, Natural talent and oppressor in the ferocity tree and Savagery, assassin, merciless, dangerous game, precision and thunderlord's decree in the cunning tree. in the early game Quinn can easily proc thinderlords with an auto E auto or auto Q auto combo, it's some great harass, 18/12/0 is good vs tanks, for fervor, but TLD is just too good for taking out squishy targets. Some people do also take storm raiders surge in some matchups, but while just starting out it's probably best to go with TLD or fervor.

Here's the end screen from a recent game https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/189735825850892289/216570320390324224/game.png The item 3512 is something I find useful some games as well, you can either place it behind mid turret to hold off a push with your team while you split or use it as pressure or extra tower damage while sieging, another benefit I've found is that enemy carries will follow the voidlings right to you for some easy picks.

If I knew how to post a screenshot I would, but this will have to suffice.

10/1/6 38/6/6 9/5/10 17/9/17 19/3/16 16/7/6

All with the build(s) I posted above.

There's more but not as impressive.

Looks like you're playing Quinn as an ADC or jungler, so that's going to be a bit different from top lane, what you might want to be aware of is the power spike you get from item 3142 , once you get that you can usually duel enemies even 2 levels higher than you and expect to win Here's a screenshot of the score screen of one of my games, at one point in the game I was at a point where my Q and E plus an auto would both literally 1 shot someone, not Q plus an E, I mean kill one person with Q and kill another with E. http://i.imgur.com/oVKxapP.png

Only 1 or 2 of those was from ADC and jungle. I definitely prefer her top lane.

Dovahkiin416Aug 22, 20161 votes

I will definitely try item 3142 on her though. I can see how it would be a great item for her.

The way I play Quinn top is I harass a lot and when they are low I go all in and I try to get level 6 then back because I will have my ult. I like to go summoner 14 summoner 4 top lane and I like to play her jungle, I don't really like adc though. You don't really need tp because of your ult but it depends on the match up if you need summoner 12 or not I like ignite so I can get easy kills, I mostly always get first blood because of ignite and Quinn's harass. Quinn is really good at roaming too because of her ult and her blind/slow. I like to max q first. Her combos are e auto q auto, w is for attack speed best you can save it probably, I don't really know anything about builds I just copy builds and I have Quinn level 5. Quinn's counters are Malphite, Karthus and Pantheon, for adc Caitlyn, Tristiana, Varus. I hope this helped you and have a great day!

Not a fan of the flat armor pen builds.

Too cheesy

but its the only thing that works on top and jung quin

Flat armor pen isn't really a cheese strat, it's actually better on champions that have high base values. If a target has 60 armor and you're ignoring 20 of it from item 3142 , normally they would have ~38% reduction in damage from resistances, but since they effectively have 40 armor instead they now only reduce incoming damage by ~28%, add in the armor runes and they only get 17% damage reduction. If you are fighting a carry champion this is going to let you deal so much more damage to them.

If you're going ADC, ER is a much better first buy, as you will be using your spells quite a bit

For top/jungle, you should pick up a Ghostblade as a first core, and really build to the enemy team from that. Most often you'll be going GB, SS, IE as core items

Frozen mallet isn't really that great of an item on Quinn

I just get it mainly for the passive. Helps with kiting someone who has mobility, and helps prevent people from running away lol.

I play her only on mid. She is quite good on there, but other mid lane champions have more kill pressure on her than most top lane champions.

I would most match ups on mid are skill match ups. The worst one i have faced so far is Syndra. She is basically an anti-carry so murders you if you not careful enough.

I usually pick her when i see the enemy team doesn't have too much tanks on their comp. Two tanks are already meh, but three is a no no.

Her mid game is really strong with the armor pen build.
