How to win lane as Ryze against Quinn · 58.22% win rate over 146 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Quinn's auto-attacks at level 1 outrange your entire trade pattern — you have no W or E yet, just a Q you must cast at melee range while she pokes freely from distance. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | Vault (E) now negates your W-root setup: she vaults away the instant you commit, blinds you during your empowered Q window, and resets her Harrier passive for a free proc. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | Your full EQW loop is online but Quinn's Vault cooldown is short enough to deny every entry — you can bounce Flux off a minion but she disengages before the root lands cleanly. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | Pre-item mana costs keep your rotation short while Quinn's crit items are coming online; she wins every extended trade and every all-in with Vault available. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | Realm Warp adds macro threat but zero lane combat steroids — Quinn still blind-negates your empowered Q and kites Phase Rush with Harrier move-speed. |
| First item | Quinn | Quinn's crit-path first item arrives before Rod of Ages; her burst damage in a Vault-into-auto burst pattern exceeds your HP recovery in a short trade. |
| Two+ items | Ryze | Seraph's Embrace and Rod of Ages stack into full Arcane Mastery loop speed — your Flux-cascade DPS in extended teamfights outscales Quinn's crit burst, and Realm Warp keeps you in the fight she cannot kite you out of. |
Quinn's Vault (E) is the entire lane problem from level 1: the moment you step up to E-Flux her she vaults away, blinds you, and the auto-attacks you cannot land during blind mean your empowered Q lands for nothing. Do not try to force the Flux chain in the open — instead E the minion adjacent to her to bounce Flux onto her without closing distance, then W-root only if the bounce connects. Accept that levels 1 through 3 are about stacking Manaflow Band charges and Tear of the Goddess, not winning trades.
