Aatrox vs Quinn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use your sustained (Q) sweet spots and (W) pull threat to pressure Quinn's melee approach and deny her ranged poke impact.
Control the wave near your side to force Quinn into risky last-hits inside your (Q) range, limiting her ability to safely harass.
This is a snowball lane where you must leverage your lane pressure and sustain to outlast Quinn's poke and prevent her roaming impact.

Trading pattern

Fish for (Q1) and use (E) to secure sweet spots, then extend trades only when (W) can trap Quinn or (R) is active.
Punish Quinn when her (E) is down by committing to longer trades and forcing her out of position.
Avoid short trades after missing (Q1) or (W) since Quinn can disengage and punish your cooldowns easily.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) and (E) are on cooldown, as Quinn can safely poke and disengage with her (E).
Avoid fighting when (E) is available to (E) away from your engage or when she has wave priority to roam.
Watch for Quinn's roam timing after wave crashes; hard push and take plates or ping to avoid losing map pressure.

Early game

Start with measured spacing to land (Q1) on Quinn as she approaches for ranged last-hits.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 unless you have (R) ready to sustain through her poke and chase down.
Use (E) to reposition for (Q) sweet spots and retreat when Quinn uses (E) to disengage, minimizing poke damage.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) to increase healing and chase potential; use this to force all-ins or extended fights.
After your first fighter item, pressure the wave and threaten multiple (Q) sweet spots to dominate trades.
Respect Quinn's level 6 (R) roam power by pushing waves quickly and preparing to punish her if she fails to roam.

Win conditions

Win lane by landing repeated (Q) sweet spots and chaining (W) pulls to trap Quinn for kills or forced recalls.
Use (R) windows and item spikes to extend fights and convert lane pressure into side-lane threat.
Deny Quinn safe farming and roaming by controlling wave position and punishing her when (E) is down to snowball advantage.
