Quinn vs Jayce

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Quinn should use her ranged poke and mobility to pressure Jayce and deny him easy melee farm.
This is a snowball lane where Quinn aims to control tempo and leverage roams to extend lead beyond lane.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) blind to reduce Jayce's auto damage and back off before his hammer form engages.
Punish Jayce when he wastes empowered (Q) poke or commits hammer form by stepping forward with (E) ready to disengage.
Avoid grouped fights and extended melee trades where Jayce's burst and knockback are stronger.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown as Jayce's hammer form engage and knockback become reliable.
Avoid fighting when Jayce has just empowered (Q) through (E) as his poke damage can quickly reduce your health.
Ping and hard push if Jayce roams to deny him plates and alert your team to his movement.

Early game

Start by harassing Jayce with (Q) and ranged autos while keeping (E) ready to disengage his hammer form engage.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is down to prevent Jayce's counter-engage.
Use wave crashes to create roam windows after level 6 when (R) unlocks high-speed map pressure.

Power spikes

At level 6, crash waves and use (R) to roam and create side-lane pressure, punishing Jayce if he fails to respond.
After first damage item, increase ranged poke pressure to threaten kills on isolated Jayce, forcing him to respect your (E) disengage.
Respect Jayce's first damage item spike where his poke and burst become more punishing; avoid unnecessary trades during this window.

Win conditions

Win lane by denying Jayce melee farm and using (Q) blind plus (E) spacing to maintain lane pressure.
Use wave crashes to create roam opportunities with (R) and snowball leads through side-lane picks and map tempo.
Exploit Jayce's cooldowns and form swap commits by punishing overextensions with burst trades and disengages.
