Darius vs Quinn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Darius must pressure Quinn early to deny her ranged poke and prevent safe farming under tower.
Use high lane pressure and pull threat to force Quinn into extended melee trades where Darius excels.
This is a snowball matchup where Darius aims to dominate lane and punish Quinn's reliance on ranged harassment and roams.

Trading pattern

Threaten (E) to control Quinn's spacing and force her into unfavorable melee trades.
Prioritize landing outer (Q) to heal and maximize damage during trades.
Avoid short trades where Quinn can blind with (Q) and disengage with (E); instead, commit to long trades to stack passive bleed before all-in.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is down as Quinn can kite and disengage more easily.
Respect (E) slow and disengage ability to avoid being pulled into unfavorable fights.
Ping and hard push to punish Quinn's roams after level 6 to avoid losing lane tempo and map pressure.

Early game

Start aggressive to force Quinn to farm cautiously and avoid giving her free poke with (Q) and autos.
Use (E) pull carefully to catch Quinn when she tries to last hit, but avoid using it too early against her (E) disengage.
Maintain wave near center or on Darius's side to limit Quinn's ability to safely poke and roam.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) execute after stacking passive to kill or heavily pressure Quinn, punishing her fragile health.
After first bruiser item, leverage increased durability and damage to force longer trades and survive Quinn's burst.
Respect Quinn's level 6 (R) roam potential by punishing missed waves and preparing for map pressure.

Win conditions

Deny Quinn safe farming by using (E) pull threat and wave control to force extended trades.
Stack passive bleed and use (R) execute resets to snowball kills and dominate lane.
Force Quinn out of lane to punish her roams by crashing waves and taking plates, then extend side-lane pressure.
