How to win lane as Quinn against Yone · 51.42% win rate over 492 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | You're ranged with Harrier auto-resets and he's a melee whose Q doesn't knock up yet — own the level 1 last-hit war. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | Your W attack-speed steroid turns one Harrier proc into a one-sided trade before his Q stacks come online. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | Full Q-W-E lets you blind his commit, E for a fresh Harrier, and auto him down while his sustain is minimal. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | His W spirit-cleave sustain and faster Q stacks dry up your free trades — trades go even around his E rewind. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | R is roam pressure for you, not duel burst, and his R knockup punishes deep all-ins — neither side gets a clean window. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your lethality spike keeps you even, but his cleave lifesteal and Q mobility close the gap as he stabilizes. |
| Two+ items | Yone | He out-scales hard: Q-dash and ability damage ignore your blind and kite, and his R knockup bursts your squishy frame. |
Levels 1-3 are yours. Yone is melee and his Q only knocks up on the third stack, so before that comes online you out-range and out-trade him with Harrier auto-resets. Save your Q blind for the moment he steps in to last-hit or commit a trade — a blinded Yone's autos and empowered Q whiff, and you can E in, knock back over him for a fresh Harrier proc, then auto him down. Don't waste the blind poking minions, because his sustain on W cleave is real once he has a stack of it.
