Quinn vs Ryze

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Quinn should use her ranged poke and high lane pressure to deny Ryze safe farming and scaling opportunities.
Focus on snowballing through lane dominance and converting wave crashes into roams with (R) to create side-lane tempo.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) blind to negate Ryze's auto-attack trades and poke him when he steps up for (E) or (W).
Avoid trading when (E) is down as Ryze can better engage or root you.
Punish Ryze's low mana or missed (W) by stepping forward for short trades and wave pressure.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is down, as Ryze can engage or root more reliably.
Respect (W) root threat especially when empowered by (E) setup; avoid walking into his range without (E) ready.
Track (R) cooldown to anticipate map plays and avoid overextending without vision or jungle support.

Early game

Harass Ryze early with ranged autos and (Q) to punish his short spell range and mana limitations.
Hold (E) for disengage against (W) root attempts and avoid extended trades.
Crash waves quickly to open roam windows before Ryze can safely scale or use (R) for map plays.

Power spikes

At level 6, crash waves and use (R) to roam and create map pressure before Ryze can respond.
After first damage item, pressure isolated targets with ranged burst while keeping (E) ready for escape.
Respect Ryze's first mana/AP item spike by playing more cautiously and avoiding extended trades when he can cycle spells freely.

Win conditions

Dominate lane by denying Ryze farm and forcing him to play defensively with ranged poke and (Q) blind.
Use wave crashes to unlock (R) roams and create side-lane picks or map tempo advantages.
Maintain (E) for spacing and disengage to avoid Ryze's root and spell rotations, enabling sustained lane pressure and snowballing.
