Gangplank vs Quinn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlling barrel zones to limit Quinn's ranged poke and roaming impact.
Manage lane pressure by balancing safe farming with short (Q) trades to avoid Quinn's high early poke.
Focus on scaling through barrel setups and global (R) impact rather than early lane dominance.

Trading pattern

Engage with short (Q) poke followed by barrel chains only when passive is up and (W) is available to counter Quinn's crowd control.
Punish Quinn immediately after she uses (E) to (E) away, as her engage and disengage options are limited.
Avoid trading without barrel setup, especially when (W) is down, to prevent Quinn's ranged harassment from overwhelming you.

Danger windows

Be cautious when barrels are cleared, as your zoning and damage threat significantly decrease.
Avoid all-ins when (W) is on cooldown, as crowd control from Quinn can stick and lead to lethal trades.
Ping and hard push the wave when Quinn roams on (R) to punish her absence and take plates or jungle pressure.

Early game

Use (Q) to farm safely and reset passive without overextending against Quinn's ranged harassment.
Avoid extended trades before setting up barrels to prevent Quinn from exploiting her mobility and blind.
Keep (W) ready to cleanse (Q) blind or (E) slow when she attempts to engage or disengage.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to influence side-lane fights and slow Quinn, limiting her roam effectiveness.
Scale into critical item barrel damage to turn barrel chains into lethal threats during skirmishes.
Respect Quinn's level 6 (R) roam power by maintaining vision and avoiding overextension without barrel control.

Win conditions

Control the lane with (Q) poke and barrel zoning to deny Quinn safe farming and force mistakes.
Scale into your critical barrel damage threshold to dominate side-lane skirmishes and objectives.
Use (R) strategically to impact fights globally, slow Quinn's engages, and secure team advantages without leaving lane.
