How to win lane as Quinn against Locke · 49.34% win rate over 377 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Your level-1 Q outranges him and the blind shuts off his Silver Stake autos — the opening trades are yours. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | At 2, Harrier marks plus Q poke chunk him every single time he steps up to farm. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | Level 3 Vault gives you a dash-reset and a second blind, winning any trade you choose to take. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | Through 4-5 your Q and E cooldowns stay ahead of his gap-close, so you keep kiting him off you for free. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it evens out: his all-in threat comes online and forces you to start respecting his engage windows. |
| First item | Locke | Once his first item lands, Purgatory lets him totem-execute you below threshold after a slow-in — his stage. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Post-items it is a skill coinflip: your Valor disengage offsets his burst if you space the execute range. |
Levels 1 through 5 are yours: Q blind shuts off his Silver Stake autos, Harrier marks chunk him at every last hit, and level-3 Vault hands you a dash-reset plus a second blind. Keep your Q and E cycling ahead of his gap-close and he never completes a full trade — build the CS and HP lead now.
