Quinn vs Irelia

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Quinn must leverage her ranged pressure and (E) disengage to deny Irelia safe passive stacking and reset paths.
This lane is a snowball matchup where Quinn should pressure early and convert lane dominance into roams and side-lane picks.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) blind and autos, then disengage with (E) before Irelia can commit with (E) stun or (Q) resets.
Punish Irelia when she misses (E) or uses (Q) forward without a reset path by stepping forward for damage.
Avoid extended trades without wave control to prevent Irelia from stacking passive and resetting safely.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Irelia has low-health minions nearby enabling (Q) resets and (E) stun setup.
Avoid fighting when (E) or (R) is available on Irelia as she can force extended all-ins and slow zones.
Hard push and take plates if Irelia roams, ping teammates to punish her absence on the map.

Early game

Use ranged autos and (Q) to harass Irelia while holding (E) to avoid her all-in attempts.
Crash waves quickly to create roam windows with (R) before Irelia can stack her passive safely.
Avoid extended fights near minion waves that enable (Q) resets and passive stacks.

Power spikes

At level 6, crash waves and use (R) to roam and create map pressure before Irelia can match with her own (R).
After first damage item, increase ranged poke and burst to pressure isolated targets while keeping (E) ready for escape.
Respect Irelia's level 2 power spike when she unlocks (Q) and (E) combo; avoid giving her clean engage opportunities.

Win conditions

Use Quinn's ranged poke and (E) spacing to deny Irelia passive stacks and reset paths.
Crash waves to create roam opportunities with (R) and generate side-lane pressure or picks.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Irelia from safely stacking and force her into unfavorable all-ins or map plays.
