How to win lane as Quinn against Aatrox · 51.62% win rate over 587 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Aatrox is weak at level 1 — your range and Harrier auto-resets chunk him while he can only walk up to last-hit. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even window — his Q is online but your blind whiffs the sweetspot auto, so trades come down to who lands first. |
| Level 3 | Aatrox | He spikes here: all three Q knockups plus W chain-pull let him pull you into a full drain combo if you mistime Vault. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Roughly even — you blind his sweetspot and kite with W move speed, but his passive heal claws back your poke. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your R is roam tempo not duel power, and his R combat stats match it — neither side owns the straight 1v1 at 6. |
| First item | Aatrox | His Eclipse/Goredrinker drain spike outheals your lethality poke once his Q lands — his clearest all-in window. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late it splits: he wins the duel with sustain, but you take over the map with R roam and side-lane picks. |
Levels 1-2 are mine — Aatrox is genuinely weak before his Q rotation comes up, so I walk him down with Harrier auto-resets and chunk him while he can only last-hit. The trick is my Q blind: the instant he winds up a sweetspot Q for the knockup, I blind him and the auto-attack portion whiffs. I never sit in W chain-pull range, because if he pulls me into a sweetspot Q he gets a free drain. Poke, reset Harrier with Vault, and back out before he can stack his combo.
