How to win lane as Quinn against Ryze · 57.42% win rate over 310 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Ryze has only a single Q poke and no mobility at level 1 — your range and Harrier auto-resets simply out-damage him. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | Your W attack-speed steroid stacks more Harrier-marked autos than his one-spell poke can answer. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | With Q-W-E online you blind his minion wave, zone him, and Vault-reset trades he cannot escape or sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | You convert the lead into plates and a shove while he is still too squishy to fight back without a full root combo. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | Behind Enemy Lines lets you roam on an immobile lane-bound Ryze — your tempo edge, not his dueling, wins the window. |
| First item | Quinn | Your lethality/crit and E-reset all-in still out-burst a one-item Ryze before his Tear stacks come online. |
| Two+ items | Ryze | He outscales hard: Archangel's shield, HP, and Q-E spam-root lock down and burst your squishy frame — play safe and let your team handle him. |
Ryze is squishy and immobile at levels 1-3 with only his Q to poke, so you own this window hard. Lead with Harrier-marked autos and refresh the mark off Vault (E) to dash in, slow, and knock yourself back out before he can land a Q-E root. Dodge his Q — it is a skillshot and the root only lands if E primes it — and if you sidestep it he has no answer to your auto-attack burst. Do not stand still in minions where his Q-E combo can chain a root onto you.
