Yone vs Quinn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yone is a scaling melee skirmisher who must use (E) + (Q) combos to force trades with planned exits against Quinn's ranged poke.
Quinn exerts strong early lane pressure and high mobility, so Yone should avoid giving her free ranged harass and deny her tempo advantages.
This matchup is a snowball duel where Yone aims to survive early poke and reach key power spikes to outscale Quinn's early roam and poke.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) to threaten knockup, then use (E) and second (Q) to gap close and trade quickly before snapping back with (E).
Punish Quinn when her (E) is down by committing to trades, as her disengage and slow are key defensive tools.
Avoid using (E) from bad positions to prevent Quinn from counterattacking; always plan a safe exit route.

Danger windows

Quinn is most dangerous when (E) is available to disengage or slow Yone's engage; respect this cooldown to avoid lethal trades.
Yone is vulnerable immediately after using (E) as Quinn can exploit his known position; avoid committing without backup or minion advantage.
Quinn's roams after level 6 can leave Yone isolated; hard push wave and communicate to avoid jungle pressure or map disadvantage.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Yone lacks full combo and shield to absorb Quinn's ranged poke.
Use minion waves and spacing to safely stack (Q) and engage with (E) + (Q) once shield is available.
Respect (E) disengage and hold (E) for safe entry and exit during early trades.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Yone's full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo with shield, enabling stronger trades; use this window aggressively when cooldowns align.
After first attack-speed item, increase wave pressure and trade confidence to challenge Quinn's poke.
Quinn's level 6 (R) unlocks high-speed roams; hard push wave and prepare to respond or punish missed roam attempts.

Win conditions

Use (E) + (Q) combo to force trades and deny Quinn safe farming, preventing her from crashing waves and roaming effectively.
Survive early poke and reach key power spikes to outscale Quinn's early lane dominance.
Leverage Yone's teamfight engage and side-lane pressure post-level 6 to snowball advantage and control map tempo.
