How to win lane as Quinn against Master Yi · 47.32% win rate over 112 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Your Blinding Assault blind plus the Vault knockback dominate level 1 completely. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | Q blind and constant kiting keep him off you through level 2 — he cannot reach you. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | At 3 you still control the spacing with Vault and poke; every trade starts on your terms. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 hinge on your Q blind and Vault timing — clean usage keeps it even, wasted cooldowns lose it. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even because your R is a roam tool, not a duel tool — neither of you flips the lane here. |
| First item | Master Yi | His first item plus Highlander lets him finally stick to and kill you — the kill pressure is his now. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | With R resets and item power he deletes you and your team late; only group play answers it. |
You own the first three levels outright: Q blind erases his autos, Vault knocks him straight off you, and your poke controls every inch of spacing. Chunk him at each last hit and call jungle pressure — the lead you build in this window is the only currency that matters against a scaling Yi.
