Irelia vs Quinn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use high lane pressure and mobility to deny Quinn safe ranged poke and limit her wave control.
Focus on maintaining minion waves that enable (Q) resets and passive stacking to create all-in windows.
This is a snowball matchup where Irelia must leverage wave control and cooldown windows to prevent Quinn's roaming impact.

Trading pattern

Prepare passive stacks and low-health minions before committing to extended trades using (Q) resets around (E) marks.
Punish Quinn after she uses (E) to disengage, as her escape is then less reliable.
Avoid (Q) forward without a reset path to prevent being punished by Quinn's ranged harass and blind (Q).

Danger windows

Respect (E) disengage cooldown; engaging immediately after she uses it increases all-in success.
Be cautious when lacking passive stacks or (Q) reset paths, as Quinn can punish overextensions with ranged poke.
When Quinn roams using (R), hard push the wave, take plates, and communicate to avoid losing lane tempo.

Early game

At level 2, use (Q) and (E) to land reliable stuns and force trades when minion waves allow safe resets.
Avoid fighting without passive stacks or (Q) reset paths to minimize Quinn's ranged poke advantage.
Build early lane dominance by forcing Quinn to use (E) defensively, reducing her disengage threat.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) and (E), enabling early stun and reset combos; use this to pressure Quinn before she can safely farm.
Level 6 (R) grants strong engage and slow zone; use (R) to commit when passive stacks and reset paths are ready for extended fights.
First completed fighter item increases durability and damage; leverage this to pressure waves and side-lane trades confidently.

Win conditions

Deny Quinn safe farming by controlling minion waves that enable your (Q) resets and passive stacking.
Use (E) and (R) marks to create reliable all-in windows and convert kills into side-lane pressure.
Exploit Quinn's cooldowns, especially (E), to force extended trades and snowball lane dominance into map impact.
