Read from Aatrox's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Quinn.
This is Aatrox's own plan; across 907 pooled games the lane is leaning Aatrox.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Level 1 favours Quinn as ranged autos and Blinding Assault harass a gap-close-less Aatrox for free. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | Level 2 stays Quinn's — even with a second ability you can't reliably reach her, so she keeps harassing with autos and Blinding Assault. |
| Level 3 | Aatrox | Level 3 flips to Aatrox because E-into-W lets you pin and combo her before she Vaults away. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 return to even since a missed W lets her Vault-kite and reset her poke. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | Level 6 favours Aatrox — Behind Enemy Lines is only a roam tool, so when she stays you out-brawl her with drain and R once you land W. |
| First item | Aatrox | First item favours Aatrox as bruiser stats and gap-close make a landed W a kill on her. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | Late favours Aatrox — your bruiser scaling and a landed W turn every catch into a kill, out-valuing her fading kite in the sidelane duel. |
Quinn wins level 1 outright — ranged autos plus Blinding Assault (Q, 11s) blind and harass you for free before you can reach her, and the blind neuters your auto damage. Harrier marks make her first hit on a marked target hurt far more, so don't stand still for it. Use abilities to last-hit and give ground. A gap-close-less Aatrox is a punching bag for a mobile marksman — minimise the damage and wait for level 3.
