She pokes + blinds + kites your field — E her early, or roam.
Track: Quinn's E — Vault (12–8s cooldown). Her self-peel. E her when down.
Read from Illaoi's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Quinn.
This is Illaoi's own plan; across 286 pooled games the lane is Illaoi-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | At level 1 Quinn's Blinding Assault and range let her poke you freely with no counterplay. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | At level 2 her Vault kite and blind keep you unable to trade. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | At level 3 she still negates your autos and dashes away from every approach. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | At level 4 the ranged blind-and-kite pattern keeps the lane firmly hers. |
| Level 6 | Illaoi | At 6 your R gap-close finally gives you a landed-E kill window, favouring you. |
| First item | Illaoi | With first item, R plus stacked tentacles let one landed E burst her squishy frame. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | In the 2+ item stage her R roam/split and superior kiting out-scale your melee reach. |
Levels 1-4 are miserable: Quinn's Blinding Assault turns off your autos and tentacle procs while Vault lets her dodge any approach, so there's no landing E — sit under tower, farm what you can, and call for ganks.
