Gnar vs Quinn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by using mini form range to poke and kite Quinn while managing Rage for mega form engages.
Prioritize denying Quinn the chance to crash waves uncontested and roam, as this matchup is control versus Quinn's roam snowball style.

Trading pattern

Trade short-range poke in mini form using (Q) to slow Quinn and kite with (E) to avoid her (Q) blind trades.
Punish Quinn when her (E) is down by engaging with (E) and converting Rage into mega form crowd control.
Use terrain angles to maximize mega (R) stun impact and force Quinn into unfavorable fights.

Danger windows

Respect (E) for disengage; avoid fighting when it is available to prevent being kited or blinded by (Q).
Be cautious when Rage is low and (E) is down, as mini form is fragile and vulnerable to Quinn's poke.
After mega form expires, avoid extended trades since you lose hard CC and durability advantage.

Early game

Use mini form (Q) and (W) to chip Quinn from a safe distance and avoid fighting without (E) available.
Time your Rage buildup to transform into mega form for level 6 power spike trades or wave crashes.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is up, as she can disengage and punish your cooldowns.

Power spikes

At level 6, use mega form (R) near walls to stun Quinn and initiate decisive fights.
Manage Rage to enter fights with mega form ready, increasing durability and CC to punish Quinn's fragile state.
Respect Quinn's level 6 (R) roam potential by punishing missed waves or roaming attempts with wave pressure and vision.

Win conditions

Use mini form ranged poke to chip Quinn and build Rage safely, avoiding fights without (E).
Convert Rage into mega form engages near terrain to stun and burst Quinn or force her out of lane.
Deny Quinn wave crashes and roams by controlling wave state and punishing her absence with plate damage or jungle pressure.
