Quinn vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Quinn must use her ranged pressure to deny Mordekaiser a slow, extended trade lane and avoid letting him activate his passive safely.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Quinn's early lane dominance and roams define the game tempo.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) blind to reduce his auto damage and back off before he can retaliate.
Avoid extended trades when his (W) shield is active or his passive is stacked; punish him when (E) is down to reduce his engage threat.
Use (E) to disengage his pull and maintain spacing; do not engage if (E) is on cooldown to avoid getting locked down.

Danger windows

Mordekaiser is dangerous when (E) lands, enabling his (Q) and passive damage; stay mobile and keep (E) ready to avoid pulls.
The realm (R) at level 6 forces isolated duels; avoid being caught alone or without (E) escape.
Quinn is vulnerable when (E) is down as she cannot disengage his engage attempts effectively.

Early game

Use (Q) and ranged autos to harass Mordekaiser early, forcing him to farm under pressure and preventing passive stacks.
Hold (E) to disengage his (E) pull attempts and avoid extended trades where his passive and shield heal matter.
Crash waves quickly after pushing to create roam opportunities with (R) before Mordekaiser reaches level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to roam and create map pressure, avoiding direct all-ins during Mordekaiser's realm unless you have clear escape.
First damage item spike increases Quinn's burst; pressure isolated targets while keeping (E) ready for escape.
Respect Mordekaiser's level 6 (R) isolation; save mobility and defensive cooldowns to survive the duel or avoid it.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and (Q) blind to deny Mordekaiser farm and passive stacks, forcing him into unfavorable trades.
Crash waves to unlock (R) roams and create side-lane pressure, snowballing map control.
Avoid extended trades and grouped fights; leverage Quinn's mobility and pick potential to outmaneuver Mordekaiser and his teamfight reliance.
