Quinn Counters Classic 26.22

Valor marks a target before Quinn commits, and the first attack that lands on that mark carries the extra damage. Blinding Assault answers anything built on basic attacks; hold your trade until the blind fades, then step in while Vault is down.

The play Take the fight beside your tower, because Vault has to deliver her inside its range.

Who Counters Quinn in LoL Classic?

The threat board · every lane, graded

Ranged damage covers every seat here. Defile makes the Karthus lane one-sided, taxing seconds spent close. Double Up clearly favors Miss Fortune, bouncing through a minion. Tristana, Twitch, and Sivir crowd bottom.

How to Counter Quinn in LoL Classic

Counter guide

Quinn fights in short trips. Vault carries her onto a body and leaves her back at range. These three picks argue with it from three directions. Karthus takes the one-sided version, and Requiem does not care where she stands. Miss Fortune puts damage on the ground. Tristana's reach grows with every level.

02Strong counter

Playing Karthus into Quinn

Requiem arrives from wherever he is standing, and the blast under it is back every second.

Lay Waste comes back on one second, so there is always another one coming. It pays double when the blast catches a single unit. Vault finishes with Quinn back out at her own maximum attack range, away from whatever she jumped on. Put the next blast there, not on the minions.

Drop Wall of Pain across her path rather than on top of her. Crossing it takes fifteen percent off her magic resist and slows her hard, and the speed only creeps back over the five seconds. Every bit of damage in your kit is magic, so that cut is on all of it.

Dying does not take Karthus out of the fight. Death Defied gives him seven seconds of free casting. Requiem still wants three full seconds of channel. Vault ends on a brief interruption of whoever it landed on. Start the channel where Quinn cannot reach you, or the longest wait in his kit buys nothing.

03Good counter

Playing Miss Fortune into Quinn

Set up Bullet Time where neither Make It Rain nor Double Up can reach, then sit through the two second channel.

Hold one body and let Impure Shots count. Its passive stacks magic damage on the same target, five strikes deep, and pressing it adds attack speed for six seconds. That is a firm edge against a champion whose dash takes her straight back out.

Make It Rain does not land the moment you press it. There is half a second of flight first. So aim it out where Vault leaves her, roughly her whole attack range from you, not the ground she is on now. The slow holds a second, the damage two.

Tag Team turns Quinn into Valor, a melee attacker who has to walk into range to trade. Bullet Time channels for two seconds and is the slowest thing to come back that you own. Hold it for that swap, because a Bullet Time spent early is not there for the melee form.
