Cmon gameplay, help me play against this cancer champ in toplane? If before was unfair, now with the new mastery is even more unfair, green father gift and the other mastery gives her a good poke with a ridicolous cd, and the funny part, the last quinn i played against had the colossus mastery, which pops with her E (?), so even if i was playing Irelia, she killed me with surving with minimal hp.

What are some tips to play against her.(pls, no answers like "dont stay in lane" or "farm under tower till jungler ganks" they are not usefull tips)

Consider also that i will not play top with exhaust, i need tp to put pressure in map, and considering that i will lose the lane anyway, its not worth.

You dont. Sorry. I suggest finding a less cancerous lane, top is won in champ select.

If you have poke, you poke her. Quinn is annoying for a reason. Sorry.

I think the best you can do is realize that losing lane =/= losing game. You should play passively and build hp and armor. Try to stay within exp range. Once late game comes, you become much more useful to your team than her, because you are much tankier.

Use whatever ranged ability you have to take whatever CS you can get while sobbing quietly and hope your team can carry you if you don't feed her too much.

I honestly think this whole "ranged top lane meta" is seriously exaggerated. Most ranged top champs are not that difficult to deal with but Quin is just intolerable.

You can try begging her to take it easy on you, or just drop down to your knees and kiss her boots. You have to realize that when you fight Quinn as melee, you are her bittch. She owns you, you might as well stamp or brand her name on you because she owns you.

Like any other ranged toplaner or any laner in general, you evaluate risk versus reward. At early levels you have to just say to yourself that you're going to lose a few creeps at the start so simply focus on levelling up and take whatever farm you can without losing too much health. If you think you can win and snowball off the opposing champion build damage items, if not go for tanky/sustain items like ninja tabi.

If you were playing as Irelia, you should have beaten Quinn. Irelia is the one melee champ that actually hardcounters ranged champs. You just have to wait for Quinn to stand somewhere near an almost dead minion, Q to that minion to kill it and reset your gapcloser, wait for her to somersault away from you because you're close to her, then use your Q to get on top of her and ruffle her feathers. Alternately, if it's a bad Quinn, you walk right up to her, she somersaults back, and then you gapclose and beatdown.

If you're not Irelia, you hug your turret, stick your thumb up your ass, and cry to your jungler. You may find solace in the fact that your team has a better chance of winning if you don't feed during the laning phase since you'll be more useful than her later on, but that's little comfort as you spend the first 10-15 minutes of the game in absolute misery.

Which is also why Riot isn't looking at the ranged vs melee problem in top lane all that seriously; melees still tend to win the game and have the higher winrates. However, that laning phase is pure torture that pretty much takes all the fun out of the win. We're going to have to wait until one of the members of the balance team plays a Garen into a Kennen top and has the worst laning experience of his life for action to finally be taken.
