MetaBot Tips
  • Quinn secures less objectives than most champions. Your value may be better oriented towards helping other champions secure objectives.
  • Quinn steals less objectives than other junglers, and may struggle in last hitting objectives compared to other jungling champions.
  • Quinn has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
  • Quinn has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.

Playing Quinn

  • Attacking a
  • Vulnerable
  • target marked by Valor will put Harrier on cooldown. Quickly consuming Harrier marks will allow you to generate them faster.
  • Vault is powerful but must be used with caution, as enemies can attack Quinn when she strikes them. Vault can sometimes be used to cross terrain if your back is to a wall.
  • Use Behind Enemy Lines for traveling very long distances quickly, for farming minions around the map, or for chasing wounded targets.

Playing Against Quinn

  • After being marked, move away from Quinn so she can't take advantage of it.
  • Keep tabs on Quinn's position. Behind Enemy Lines can enable Valor to cross the map very quickly and attack you by surprise.
  • When Quinn is using Behind Enemy Lines, damaging her removes her Move Speed bonus temporarily.
