How to win lane as Aatrox against Quinn · 53.58% win rate over 907 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| 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 | Aatrox | 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 | Aatrox | 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 — her ranged autos plus Q (Blinding Assault) blind and harass you for free before you have any way to reach her, and the blind neuters your auto damage. Don't walk up to CS into her poke; use abilities to last-hit and give ground. She's favoured here because a comboless, gap-close-less Aatrox is just a punching bag for a mobile marksman. Minimize the damage you eat and wait for your Level 3.
