How to win lane as Quinn against Mordekaiser · 49.24% win rate over 331 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a true coinflip — your range and Harrier resets answer a Morde with no Q empower stacked yet, so it comes down to who trades cleaner. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | His E pull plus isolated Q slam comes online and outdamages your Q poke the moment he sticks to you. |
| Level 3 | Mordekaiser | With W shield added he wins the sustained trade — your blind doesn't touch his ability damage, so he heals through your pokes. |
| Levels 4-5 | Mordekaiser | He keeps converting E-pull-into-Q windows into your HP while you can't all-in through his W sustain. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Realm of Death (R) drags you into a stat-stealing 1v1 that cancels your kite entirely — his hardest spike over you. |
| First item | Mordekaiser | His first AP item plus death realm still beats your lethality spike in any duel he forces, so he owns this window. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | You reclaim it: lethality/crit and roam let you chip him from range his dashless kit can't answer — just never face his R alone. |
Level 1 is genuinely even — your range and Harrier resets match a Morde who has no Q empower stacked yet, so trade autos and deny his last-hits. The second he hits 2-3, respect the E pull: if he lands it he drags you into Q-slam range where his isolated bonus damage and W shield turn your poke into a losing trade. Q-blind does nothing to his ability damage, so don't lean on it here — last-hit at max range and keep E Vault in your pocket to break the pull, not to dive him.
