Levels 1-2 Quinn owns the lane: her Blinding Assault (Q) outranges everything you have and the blind shuts off your Silver Stake on-hit, while Harrier auto-marks let her chunk you for free whenever you go for CS. Do not try to trade through Q up; farm at max range and dodge the telegraphed skillshot.
