How to win lane as Poppy against Quinn · 57.43% win rate over 249 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You are both weak at level 1 with one ability — deny her Harrier last-hits and set up to fight near your wall, don't chase into open lane. |
| Level 2 | Poppy | Q+E online means any Vault knockback or Harrier dash against terrain becomes a free Heroic Charge wall-stun. |
| Level 3 | Poppy | All your tools are up — bait her step-up, E her into the wall and Q-chunk her before her nimble move speed kites you off. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Her E blind and Harrier poke trade evenly with your flat damage here — lean on W's armor/MR and percent-HP Q rather than raw kill threat. |
| Level 6 | Poppy | Keeper's Verdict cancels her Tag-and-Release reposition or peels her kite, turning a trade you would lose into a reset. |
| First item | Poppy | Cheap tank components plus gold-independent W dash-deny and percent-HP Q let you out-trade her first-item poke. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | She out-scales you hard — Harrier crits and splitpush let her kite your flat damage in the open, so group and play frontline instead. |
Quinn's whole game is never letting you press E, so fight near your own wall where any Vault knockback or Harrier dash sticks her against terrain for a free Heroic Charge stun. At level 1 you both want to farm — don't chase her into open lane where her Harrier nimble move speed kites your autos forever. Once you hit 2-3, threaten a quick E-into-wall combo whenever she steps up to last-hit, and use W's passive armor/MR to shrug off her poke.
