How to win lane as Quinn against Malphite · 48.08% win rate over 755 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | My range and Harrier auto-resets out-poke an immobile Malphite who only has a single Q slow to answer me. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | W's move speed steroid lets me dodge his Q and stack blind plus Harrier procs faster than he can shove back. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | I can blind his Granite Shield auto and Vault-reset, but he just farms safely under tower so it's a wash — neither kills. |
| Levels 4-5 | Malphite | He starts stacking armor and Granite Shield, so my physical autos lose bite and his Q poke trades even with mine. |
| Level 6 | Malphite | His unstoppable R ignores my blind and E entirely — once it's online he owns every all-in he commits to. |
| First item | Malphite | His first armor item plus Granite Shield makes my autos bounce; my damage falls off while his survivability climbs. |
| Two+ items | Malphite | Two-plus items in, I'm a squishy he one-shots with flash-R while my physical kit does nothing to a stacked armor tank. |
Levels 1-3 are mine. Malphite is a slow, immobile lump who can only answer my range with one Q slow, so I free-poke with Harrier auto-resets and chip him with Blinding Assault. My blind even blanks his Granite Shield (W) auto if I time it. Just respect the Q slow — if it lands and he has tempo, don't tunnel; keep W's move speed up so I can re-kite. He can't all-in me without 6.
