Avucado says “Start E and abuse her incredibly weak lvl 1 and 2. She may go corrupting pots and if she does you want most of them gone before shes lvl 3. She has crazy damage output and can very easily kill you at half health, and if she lands everything she will kill you at full health. Look for hooks but don't walk into her e range because if you do you will be locked in the animation and she can easily combo you. After lvl 3 don't look to E through her because she can jump away or e through you at an angle. Go longsword because she cant spam her qs at you early or she will run out of mana. ”
Drewmatth Taliyah says “Against Qiyana you're interested to duel her pre 6 as often as you can from a longer range and, if possible to make her dash through your E. Get 2x Doran Rings and maybe a cloth armor. Be extremely careful post 6 for her ultimate since most Qiyana players will try to push you into a wall and one-shot you. I would argue that Barrier against her would be more useful than Heal. Be careful on 2vs2 with your jungler or on enemy ganks because if she gets advantage she's a monster in mid game, but falls off late game usually.”
Ambitieux says “Qiyana is a very scary laner. If she gets even the slightest lead she can push it miles with her high burst. Don't be afraid though your best ability to win this is to bully her pre 6. Pushing her under tower and harassing her. When she dashes at all you can charm and it will stop her in her tracks. Careful of 6 due to her ability to 1 shot. It's still able to be beaten but you need distance, and playing around your dash. Try to get early wards in jungle to ensure that you can't be ganked due to her instant CC capabilities. Pick up armguard early.”
iZianni says “She presses her 4 sec CD W every time you cast a spell to avoid anything you use the entire game.
Your only hope is full comboing her from fog of war or off a positioning mistake.
You don't ever win this match up, so just power farm at max range with E until your jungler helps you 2v1.”
iZianni says “Like all assasins, if she closes the game we're immediately doomed. She is a melee which is to our advantage but she has so many dashes + hops that it's extremely dangerous to go for poke. It takes one ultimate to 100-0.
Avoid bush enchants like the plague, avoid water enchants like the plague.
STAY AWAY FROM THE WALLS.
Zhonyas match up”
Sanctuar says “Due to her versatile kit as well as high mobility in lane, trading with her seems almost impossible. You can hit her with W while she's invisible, avoid fighting near walls as she excels there with her ultimate.”
iZianni says “Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q Bush Q
You honestly do really good early since you outrange her, but it becomes an issue when she oneshots you from stealth. A seekers armguard should render her mostly useless if you can survive the combo!
Manaflow band is king in this match up, 100-0 is extremely likely if you land GLP.”
Coldsong says “Qiyana's multiple dashes make her super slippery, especially when in the jungle. Make sure to not stand too close to terrain so she doesn't get a good R off and stand behind minions to dodge her elemental Q's.”
DebilekLaZe says “If you keep your distance level 1 and auto from afar, she literally cannot do anything. Don't die and build up a cs lead with constant slow pushes.”
angeLoon says “Conq Dblade in Resolve Conditioning or Bone Plating.
Easy matchup for yasuo, You can block her Q and R squishy,all-in lvl 2
ins't necessary to build armor early if you kill her lvl 2,3.”
King Turtle says “Qiyana can blow up your health bar at any phase of the game and her being able to E through minions means she can get through your poke if she wants to delete you.”
luminyan says “An annoying matchup. I would bring Barrier here, and again just try and farm. Stay away from walls and turrets, and just wait for your jungler before you try and engage.”
Fuzzmonkey says “Quite a hard match-up since she does out trade you pretty easily and has multiple dashes to dodge your chain. I would suggest using double chains to keep your distance from her and calling your jungler to help you snowball off her too. ”
eiensiei says “I'll poke with E and can go for passive procs, but that will put me in her E range. If she does jump to me, I'll shield myself as she AA-Q's once and then grabs another element (which resets both her Q CD and her passive damage). This leaves her with no more mobility abilities, vulnerable to my Q. Pointless calling my jungler for help as she can go invisible with her Q twice in a short span of time. After level 6 it's important to keep track of my surroundings, her R stuns when it knocks a champion back into a brush/wall/river. I'll pay attention to her whereabouts during baron/drake fights especially or she'll quickly wipe out the whole team with a well placed R. She needs to snowball to be useful, she'll try roaming bot/top after 6. It's usually easier for Lux to get a pick than it is for her later on. Zhonya's/Ninja Tabi are both great buys when not doing great against her.”
Fuzzmonkey says “Quite easy since your poke will always out-trade her, don't let her dash into you, and always save your E for the moment where she does attempt this. ”
Katawina52 says “Go Bone Plating/Overgrowth or Unflinching (depends how much cc they have) always vs Qiyana for her all in trades. When she goes in just W-Q her and trade back. If your boneplating is up, you should win this most of the times. Remember to never all in her near a wall to prevent her chain cc from R/blue Q. If they have an AD jgler its a really easy matchup if you just rush seekers. Make sure to use the short trades harass (tip 2 on general kata tips) with qiyana aswell in lane if you want to be the one that trades first.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “This champion actually gives me trouble just bc i never expect how much damage she can do. Go fleet boneplating and revitalize. I would go double dorans and if you are not ahead then sit on a cloth armor or she can easily full to 0 you if you mis position even one time. Try to abuse her lvl 1 and get lvl 2 before her to build a lead early. One misplay in this matchup = 0/10. ”
WayOfTheTempesst says “You should abuse Qiyana really hard level 1 and 2 since she really is not a champion until she gets all her abilities at level 3. If she does not have her grass element and you see she has mountain or water, that is the time you can all in her as long as you windwall her snare because she can not avoid your ulti by going stealth. Always windwall in her direction when she E's you bc her Q will track towards you. Your windwall can also block her ult so she should really never kill you.”
Dr Eggmund says “Qiyana can be very scary, however she is a melee champion so this does make it easier, with great mobility and burst damage she appears to be a threat to Vladimir, we need to farm and poke her like usual, whilst maintaining a safe distance so she doesn't trample all over you.”
Sylvan Lore says “Qiyana is a really hard match-up to understand if you haven't tried her yourself. I would highly recommend actually playing a few games of Qiyana if you are struggling with this matchup. Lane phase should be relatively easy since you have the range advantage, but as soon as she hits 6, this lane gets really rough. Zhonya is a must have for her damage. If you zhonya her combo, she won't have anything left over and you should be safe. Recommend vs. AD Assassin and barrier.”
DarDarThePenguin says “Qiyana can easily burst Yone down at levels 2 and 3, but can be killed after level 6 if you land your combo. Try not to fall too far behind early. Take the Standard page with Armor.”
LunarVortex says “While you can technically spellshield her stuns easily, her low cooldowns, good waveclear and high mobility make her difficult to deal with. Keep a Control Ward on the map at all times to reduce her roam potential. Buy an early Seeker's Armguard if necessary.”
richardlized says “You can get a good trade in against her level 1, but you have to back off level 2 and get in a good trade level 3. If she has the bush Q,you probably shouldn’t try to combo her because of the invisibility. This matchup is quite easy in lower elos and get harder as elo rises. Qiyana’s level 6 is very strong so it comes down to who ults second loses. If you ult her she has the chance to water Q root into R stun so you would have to dodge her R with your R. ”
CashLOL says “Really hard matchup pre 6, needs really good spacing. After level 6, don't ult her till she ults as she can just ult you into a wall after you ult her and die.”
Thresh Mid says “Qiyana early does not outtrade a Thresh max auto Flay if they are to start Terrashape (W), along with her Audacity (E) can be cancelled by Flay. Level 6 and beyond she can be difficult due to her full combo off of Supreme Display of Talent (R). Trading trading early game is needed. If not done she will consistently throw her Edge of Ixtal (Q) at you to attempt to look at kills.”
fanchessfan says “Same as Fizz: E her away when he tries to go in. If he gets ahead ur really f*ked. Take exhaust and trade around his cooldowns. Respect his ultimate. Try to get your jungler to try to "hover" you while you bait. Like fizz, if she tries to go in you can R and disengage. ”
DabiDabi says “Have not played against a lot of good Qiyana's. But what I can suggest is that her trade is almost as good as yours. Try to avoid her E+Q+W+Q combo. She can deal a lot of damage from it. ”
ParkboyYT says “If she can land cc on you, she will definitely outtrade you. Try to land your CC chain and engage with that. When you hit 6 don't be afraid to double chain Qiyana.”
Eriosunx says “Qiyana is a skill-based matchup.
Fleet + Boneplating is reccomended for this matchup
She can easily take over the lane if she gets a lead just like Zed.
You can cancel his Q and his Ultimate with your Windwall.
Make sure to trade her only when your Boneplating is up!”
TheDuskWalker says “Any Summs. Electrocute. Summon Aery is a possible choice.
Constantly harass her during laning phase but make sure to not get hit by a water q w q combo. she has formidable damage early game but you can constantly harass her. She will try to roam sidelane so punish her through freezing and turret plates.”
Shikikashi says “Before level 6, it is a very tough matchup for you. You need good spacing and positioning, if her ult is up, don't all in her, she will just kill you.”
Curt Mcbeltpants says “Similar to Pantheon, early seekers tabs and you can beat her. Just watch out when your low she can crit on abilites similar to Pantheon.”
Daers says “You can start W against her, and avoid fighting her lvl1 for longer than your W duration. You can perma poke her with your Q and she can't do too much about it. Punish her each time she goes up to farm. Avoid going for an electrocute proc if she has Ice enchantment on her Q. Watch out for her level 3 combo, it can kill you at about 60% HP as long as she has ignite.”
lolventureiro says “Skill matchup. Bloquear a ult dele com o W. Bem chato por causa da invisibilidade do Q e alta mobilidade da Qiyana. Eletrocute/letalidade é uma boa opção.”
Excalibxr says “Qiyana is similar to ekko, she can just dodge all your daggers. Combo slowly vs her and try to use your auto attacks. If you can, react to her r with e and dodge it. ”
Little Planet says “Qiyana's lvl 1-2 are really weak, use it to your advantage and generate a big health lead.
Once you hit lvl 3 she should be a free kill or you can zone her off the wave forever.
Your waveclear is better, so you can prevent her from roaming entirely.”
Joseph Evanss says “If shes bad then just auto attack her and q her until shes low, then go in and kill her. If has any ounce of talent then you will literally never win against her. Go Bone Plating, Overgrowth + D Blade and rush a Chain Vest”
TheSecretsWithin says “A good Qiyana player is hard to come by, but when you do face one, it is gonna be torture. Her mobility, stun, invisibility and bonus damage against low targets are already a problem for Kassadin, and I haven't even mentioned her ultimate yet. At lvl 1, try to trade with her. She has one of the weakest lvl 1, start W and start trading with her early. When you see her use her W, try to make her waste it so that she can't get a fast combo on you. At lvl 6, stay clear of walls so she can't stun-lock you. Later on into the game, it is easy to burst her down, but her invisibility might make it annoying to track her.”
ahspaghetti says “go bone plating/overgrowth/unflinching, you also want to rush seekers. you want to always all in her for trades as she excels in quick bursts. if she goes in, just w -> q her and trade back. you also want to watch your positioning near walls as she will be able to cc chain you assassins with cc :(. you can also initiate short trades with her.”
zeldimi says “PFFFFFFFFFFFT. I once killed a mastery 7 qiyana that was 7/0 from roaming, 1 lvl ahead, and I was afk for 2 mins from power outage. Her kit is so bad against you it's insane. If you see her dashing to you just oneshot her like a fly.”
JoshAy says “Play the lane safe. Rock will do more damage if you are low, grass makes invisible patch, water roots you. Stay away from walls, and steal her ult for fights it is very good. ”
TheoRut says “Whenever she tries to jump on you, use E + Q at the same time to push her away from you and stun her after and then just one shot her with ignite + combo.
Electrocute is suggested.”
The Jhin Cena says “Take either the Conqueror Laning runes or the Fleet Footwork Laning Runes, and I recommend running Bone Plating due to her short burst windows. Consider grabbing Exhaust if you repeatedly struggle with facing Qiyanas, and use it once she tries to 1 shot you. Qiyana right now is my perma ban since she is a fairly common pick at the moment, and more often than not will get very fed throughout the game. She overall is a fairly difficult matchup who is quite strong in the current meta. Her burst can be pretty deadly, and she gets a massive power spike once she grabs Prowler's Claw. In order to avoid her poke, simply try and stand away from the minions. If she lands her ult on you, you're instantly dead, so make sure to not stand near walls, or to snap back with your E right as she's beginning to ult you. To trade with her, use your typical E > Stacked Q combo, though also keep in mind that her grass enchant can make her go invisible so it can be more difficult to trade while she has it up. Additionally, when Qiyana grabs an enchantment she does a short leap which she can use to dodge your engages, so look to trade when she has recently used her leap, or engage with only 1 stack on your Q. Mainly look to farm the early game, and once you get Mythic + Infinity Edge you should be able to win 1v1s against her unless she's really fed. In general like most Lethality champions you will outscale her heavily, so just don't throw by giving her an early lead and you will be fine.”
kindo says “Qyiana sucks to play against at all points of the game, and it never gets better. She will permanently sit in stealth the entire laning phase and you cannot target her ever. She will grab grass, e/q you and w/q again with another grass. Then she'll walk back to tower where she'll... grab another grass. You can't hit her, she'll sit stealth while you're in your ult, at all points in the game she'll sit stealth. Stealth to once shot you, stealth in your ult, stealth until the game is over and you can never touch her. The only saving grace is that most qiyana players are terrible and wind up throwing. I have no info on the matchup, I dodge qiyana on sight.”
mihaila says “Dont take trades only after level 3. Her ult is great. Dont stay in a line with minions so she cant Q-W-Q u.
Dodge her ice Q with E. She can dodge ur E2 with W. U can t solo kill her only if she makes a really big mistake.”
xoonaka says “This matchup can be a bit difficult, her lvl 3 is just as strong as you and that burst dmg can REALLY catch you off guard, get a lead by looking to kill her and get her off the game. The hardest part of the matchup is countering her roaming, if she decides to roam it doesn't matter if she's out of the game, she can get back with 1 good roam and 1 shot your entire team.”
XD001 says “Just like Fizz, Talon, and Zed, Qiyana is a very skill and mechanical dependent matchup. If you are better than the enemy, you will win.
Abuse Qiyana's long early cooldowns. She wins short, bursty trades but you can use W to win longer trades, running away with passive afterwards. At level 6 don't stand next to terrain. In team fights don't stand next to your team and focus on targeting the enemy squishies.
Ekko outscales her.
electrocute + inspiration + ignite”
Luciiid says “Easy lane. Play far from walls and use w to cover her grass q. Ganks are free against her. Trade at level 1 with auto q auto and then kill her at level 2.”
Noodles912 says “Play safe, and look for engage trades. She is like a similar version of you, so you can call it "skill based". Post 6, stay away from walls, and E if it is a must. Look to roam when you can.”
Havenia says “It really depends on how you fight her, she has low cooldowns and she can easily fight you and execute combo and bait your abilities out. But in reality, if you get loads of ganks there's not much she can do.”
pavelp420 says “If the Qiyana is good, you are up for a very hard lane. She does a lot of damage and has a lot of CC, so be careful and don't let her get fed. Try to roam.”
Wunsch3957 says “Right now she's a little busted but it's not too hard of a matchup. you can W her Q, but you want to save it for the blue one which will root you. You can also block her R. Take Conq, harass her as much as possible with Q and take extended trades. ”
lordsaladito says “Can delete you level 3 if not carefull, she will try to engage with ice (stun) or plant (invisible) element. She can also dash through you W.”
Lot of Wind here says “Don't try to play too aggro as she can kill you very fast. Play passive and scale ; you won't be able to match her roaming potential. You can block her R and Q (but not the added effects of it).”
Luxon333 says “if he is good it is very hard to play against and you will die a lot
try to play the lane safe
she can doge all of your ability's and can oneshot you at lvl 6
!!! WAIT FOR GANKS !!!”
Wunsch3957 says “Skill matchup in your favor. Avoid fighting in river and jungle after 6. Q her for every minion and all in her when she misses snare (blue Q). Conq with flash/ignite.”
Impossible2Gank says “You need to work your way to defensive items such as Tabis or Zhyonas Hourglass to stand a chance and try not falling behind while doing so. Stay away from walls and always play around boxes. Armor is recommended early.”
Hienaa says “You also counter her invisilibty like Akali and Talon, but she has her ult CC to counter your all in with Q, and can one shot you if you give her a small lead, try to bait out her R before going in.”
nZk01 says “(Mid) very easy matchup for Draven, she cant do anything as she lacks sustain, poke, early damage etc, only thing you have to care abt is her getting 6 with a dirk and 1 shotting you which is quite easy to avoid, would recommend Barrier/Ignite.”
Coldsong says “Qiyana has insane amounts of damage and crowd control with her R. Do not stand near terrain and make sure to dodge her elemental Q's. A Seeker's rush is heavily recommended.”
JEAFlashSword says “A good Qiyana will abuse the stealth to make her hard to target her W Q combo is rly unfair completly undodgeable but you can windwall it and also her R with good timing”
Abbyca says “A good Qiyana late game, can destroy you, you have to win early game, and try to bait out her rushes, Q's, and ult's. Also, she has poke ADV on you, so play smart.”
BigBushMan says “Qiyana is actually a slightly easier matchup, despite her insane burst, you can easily dodge it with your E and look to all-in her. Stay away from walls at level 6 and beyond and you will be just fine, and most importantly, dodge the Ocean Q. It will enable her burst if you don't. ”
nZk01 says “(Mid) very easy matchup for Draven, she cant do anything as she lacks sustain, poke, early damage etc, only thing you have to care abt is her getting 6 with a dirk and 1 shotting you which is quite easy to avoid, would recommend Barrier/Ignite.”
Hiimkata says “Go Bone Plating/Overgrowth or Unflinching (depends how much cc they have) always vs Qiyana for her all in trades. When she goes in just W-Q her and trade back. If your boneplating is up, you should win this most of the times. Remember to never all in her near a wall to prevent her chain cc from R/blue Q. If they have an AD jgler its a really easy matchup if you just rush seekers. Make sure to use the short trades harass (tip 2 on general kata tips) with qiyana aswell in lane if you want to be the one that trades first.”
KataTocDo says “It's fine. Dodge her Q, shunpo behind her or to minions when she ults.
Runes: Conq-Resolve or Elec.-Resolve
Starting Items: D Blade or Dark Seal”
Elite500 says “Just like kassadin, set up slowpush, fish for autos so minions aggro on you and drag them away from her so she cant last hit, dont get caught with the wave near her tower freezing when she hits lvl 3 or it's goodnight”
ITSDEBEAR says “One of my most banned champs in s10. Just make sure that she wont get ahead off roaming. Even if behind she still packs a punch. Abusable pre3 and pre6.”
invalidd says “Barely seen but when picked they're usually pretty good at the champion, if they utilize their skills well it's complicated to keep up with since
her level 3 is better than yours so you should plan to abuse her in level 1 and level 2, you should E away when she Es on you and not try to hook her
because she will dash away from your hook attempt most of the time, stay away from walls at lvl6. Complicated to gank.”
lkycch says “If your team is all squishy or has no cc, I suggest dodging in champ select. Aight, don't underestimate her burst damage. Respect her like you're respecting Talon's level 2 first blood potential. She is very difficult to hit and has a devastating stun which separates her from other assassin champions. This means that your positioning in teamfights is highly important; if you get stunned it's game over since you can't ult. Once her dashes are down, you must E+Q+W+Q her so that she can't escape. It's important to coordinate ganks with your jungler to shut her down early. Remember: Summoner's Rift is a 5V5, not a 1v1. You don't have to stay in lane and suffer a losing matchup!”

Nanelol says “She's able to burst you down easily, play with your AA and W around her and always ping when she's missing since she will roam whole game.”
SkellyBirb says “You can poke down Qiyana and trade with her fairly well. As long as she doesn't hit her ultimate on you, she shouldn't be able to kill you too easily.”
KASSAW1N says “Kass vs qiyana: Pockeala y compra sortija de doran, una vez gaste su cc intenta tradear corto y moverte, no gastes tu R en vano pues te dará la vuelta al tradeo (Compa hielo eterno para evitar que se escape con su invisibilidad)
”
Tortoise_Maniac says “- Puny assassin
- You beat her in lane
- Try to shove her under tower and look for a roam with your prio
- Or, you can try and kill her. Wait for her to use her W, and look for a taunt or E on her. If you land either, you win the trade automatically.
- Early seekers armguard makes it impossible for you to lose trades
- Be careful because Qiyana runs ignite almost every game”
Big Shawn says “In the current Patch (10.2), I haven't faced many Qiyanas. Therefore this comment will be based on past events. Ekko and Qiyana both have insane burst damage. Which is why this match-up is a 50/50 situation. Should you fall behind, she will win future trades. Should it be the other way around, you will dominate. Your Ultimate will be crucial against hers, unless you dodge it.”
BCota says “Hurts SO MUCH early game. Dodge whatever you can whenever you can. Try to pool her ult and just duel her. Shes really squishy so just one shot her 6 after poking her to like 60% hp”
Chili Dog says “Just like kassadin, set up slowpush, fish for autos so minions aggro on you and drag them away from her so she cant last hit, dont get caught with the wave near her tower freezing when she hits lvl 3 or it's goodnight. Electrocute is recommended.”
JustGalaxy06 says “Very weak vs yone . Easy win at 1v1 at midlane . if you're camped just stay at your tower and freeze. look for oportunities and one-shot her”
vCraze says “Qiyana is a hard champion to play against as she has a lot of mobility and stealth. You can punish her early if she ever uses Q to clear minions so lookout for this. Both her Q and W have 7s cooldowns so keep this in mind. Once she hits 3 keep distance from her as she can chunk you with her combo. Again, if she uses E this is your chance to punish her but make sure you're not getting into melee range of her. ”
SkellyBirb says “Qiyana can burst you down quickly, so I'd recommend building Zhonya's into her. You can trade with her fairly well and she can be pretty weak if she doesn't get a lead.”
Sadkid says “A good Qiyana is scary. However most times you will be able to poke her down early and get the first move. Watch out for her mobility and fights around objectives. ”
PedrinhoXD says “Here's a tip: Qiyana E always has more range than expected, and that is why this champion is hard to play against, but you should be able to outrange her”
WolfRider01 says “Aside from Qiyana's insane late game damage and her CC, this is a fairly even matchup that can be won by dodging her Ice Q's Root. You can W her R to prevent being stunned, however that's very tough to time correctly.”
S4V4 says “The damage she can do in low period of time is insane. With her combo, she deals a lot of damage, makes the lane unwinnable. As long as you take long trades, you will be able to win the lane.”
Hqzz says “Qiyanna can be a threat, she isn't as much of a threat as Diana but her ability to root, dash and hit you again makes her a very aggressive champ. You can counter her with a good root and then walk away.”
MagicalFartz1 says “Electro with ignite. Skill Matchup Slightly Zoe favored. You win lvl 1-2 Qiyana has the weakest lvl 1 in the game take advantage of that. If she E's on u hold ur E until she uses her W then e her or E backwards as she is E'ing to you. Lvl 6 she can ult you if u R near a wall. Her lvl 6 is one of the best in the game she can 100- 0 even if ur full hp. Get Seekers if u get behind.”
MartyBG says “Very hard matchup for Lux. After lvl 6 she can just jump on you and oneshot you. Try to play passively against her and don't step up too much, poke her pre 6.”
Zatharah says “MIDs que conseguem chegar e burstar Seraphine muito fácil são seus maiores counters, visto que ela não tem mobilidade e apenas seu W pra segurar o burst.”
Bobbab says “Skill matchup. Whoever is better wins this laning phase. She can follow your roams and she can roam just as well as you. Her damage is similar to yours (A little higher) but she has lower mobility then you. Getting her to ult in a post 6 fight is almost a guaranteed win.”
Embracing says “Out bursts you, can dodge and maneuver around your spears, and pretty much wins every single all in when her ults up, although it's on an extremely long CD.”
Magical Rock says “Qiyana is pretty easy to take down, as she is squishy and is melee. But beware, as she can root you and her red ring can do some good damage.”
neverwanted2be says “She is tricky, but Yone is faster. Dodge her "Q iced" and punish her. U can also harass her with ur "Q" or "W" when she s trying to lasthit. Conqueror is a great choice here.”
Haywyre says “Go electrocute and avoid her E dash. If her weapon is icy blue stay away from her, jg might be near by. Punish her when she walks into daggers and hop out.”
Frixen says “A terrible matchup. You can poke her,but stay as far away as possible, as as soon as she gets on to you, you're dead. She can roam almost just as well as you can, and she has superior wave clear. This is a terrible matchup, please run bone plating and a defensive summoner spell. (Exhaust or Barrier). Don't stand next to walls either. Good luck cs'ing under turret!”
SkellyBirb says “Qiyana is extremely strong right now and with her invisibility, she can be really hard to kill. She has a lot of burst as well. If you get a combo on her, you could possibly one shot her.”
Shazzaam says “Broken champion with disgusting damage. Try to freeze the lane and try to stay above 70% hp since she can demolish your HP with her combo without damage items.”
Forscythe says “She already have a weak lane phase until 6, so poke her endlessly. Watch out for her ultimate because once she is level 6, she will ask for gank from her jungler.”
Reason97 says “Qiyana can do a stupid amount of damage in lane phase, and she has a lot of movement to get around, but she isnt unstoppable. a good stun will mess up her flow and give you time to retaliate. Also, never forget that her Q has a longer range when it's empowered with an ability, so be careful about playing around it's range. ”
BloooodTV says “D-Blade. You can windwall most of her damage and stop her from comboing you level 3. The biggest part of this matchup is watching for her roaming and stopping her from setting up ganks by getting vision all throughout the river. Take Conq.”
Fadedreformed says “If she hasn't started with refillable and has a long sword you can try to 1 v 1 her lvl 1 starting with w. Highly recommended to take d-shield and smash her in lane. If she roams you and gets fed by your team then good luck :D”
Shock_101 says “Dodge her qs and respect her elements, because they make her very powerful. Spam flash when she ults you, there's a time where you can get out if you're quick enough and you wont get stunned.”
DaggerTV_ says “Qiyana has the ability to controll you with her water element and her ult. If she catches you of without any way of leaving you probably will die. Try to abuse her when she doesnt have an element. Buy armour'”
Yuki H. says “It looks like she is still fairly new and people have not yet fully come to a conclusion on how to play her efficiently, which puts her threat level here. Just know she has incredible kill potential at 6, especially near terrain.”
fwii says “Punish her at level 1 and level 2 by forcing trades. Once she is level 3, avoid her Q poke and burst damage. If you are below 60% HP, you will die to her combo. ”
Veralion says “HoB/Sword. Your level 3 all in makes this champion cry. If she goes to auto a creep in front of you, maul her. Water Q into Rock Q poking is the only way for her to play this lane, but she will probably underestimate you and close to melee range thinking that she wins. She does not. Going for Seekers depends on who has the lead. She doesn't have much all in potential as long as you stay away from walls after 6. Her ult does knockback for flash distance, so make sure that her dash distance can never put you between her and said walls if your fury isn't full. If she manages to get that full combo off, Seeker's should keep you alive if you were healthy, but you'll definitely be forced to back. Pressing R to immune her knockback and avoid her ult will leave her absolutely defenseless, use it right when she dashes in. One thing to note however, your turret counts as a wall and she can ult it, too. Which is BS, but whatever I guess. This means that you don't have a lot of viable ground to stand on while you are shoved in with low health, so just back if you find yourself in this situation. Aside from that, in most situations I would hold ult and wait for your jungler to all in. It's tough to stick to her and finish her off if she can use grass empowered E, meaning that ulting at her head-on while she is in the middle of the lane will probably just waste your fury and leave you overextended. If she's pushed away from side bushes and holding Rock or Water Q, well, that's a different story. She loves to build mobi boots and roam, so look to catch her facechecking on her way back to lane. ”
Icemperor says “The only threat is the Q river cc, so play a bit safer when she has river enchant. Also be careful when she has brush enchant as she can get away easily.”
Zak247 says “Qiyana probably has one of the most powerful level 3s ever if she gets a full combo on you and you are still alive make sure you keep your distance and farm. Once you get level 6 you can kill her pretty easily with a good combo and ult ”
Zoe Sparklepop says “Low Major
You outpoke her but it is a painful lane due to her raw burst at level 3 which can out burst you even more so at level 6
Just try to roam and hope she doesn't go Mobis”
snukumz says “What a bitch!
Push waves so she can't roam.
Be really careful because she has 2 dashes and can dodge your skill shots, as well as gap close and destroy you.
Stay away from walls, and away from your tower when in lane since she can stun you against it.
You can combo her and kill her if she messes up.
Try to poke her when you can. ”
Pentakai says “Wait for your level 3 to fight her. Be aware of her root, and do short trades to outdamage her. Consider buying an early Seeker's Armguard.”
panger 174 says “esta hecho mierda este champ, tiene mucha presion pero le podes sacar ventaja bien, tene en cuenta a que elemento va a saltar cuando tires e
cometa elec”
Gageowago says “ She can use her dashes to avoid all your skillshots and can easily half health you level 3 with her E (Q with River) AA. If she's good she can E (Q w/ River) AA you and then ignite (W to get wall) AA Q. Stay away from walls unless you want to lose 40% of your health from her ult alone. If you see her dash directly onto you back up as best you can and wait for a clean shot at charm while hovering your flash or ult to avoid her ult. If she goes in on you with her empowered q and you know she has her w dash up, wait until she uses it to reposition herself and then go for an easy charm.”
topal says “She can't all in you at any point.Be carefull when she hits 6 if you don't get stunned by her q you can win the trade. Don't go in with all your cc cause she might be able to turn on you.”
Fhizzikx says “lvl 1 you can weave in a few autos but don't get in her e range and stay away from walls once she gets 6. keep in mind what q she has so you can play properly”
JacWilly says “Very even lane, dont ult her first , dodge her ult with your ult, as when you ult, she gets a free ult on you if near a wall, allowing you to do no damage as your stunned, by the time you are able to move again, you are more than likely dead.”
roskataka says “Try to dodge her skillshots and you should be fine, don't fight her until you have your protobelt for dodging skillshots and engaging. Don't tower dive her unless you have her ult and Barrier/Cleans(better case) up.”
serruh says “used to be a lot harder before her q got nerfed in the early ranks, now you can actually lane into her until you get some armor. do not underestimate her all in though, as she will kill if you disrespect and dont get armor or hang around on low hp. will be a menace in teamfights, as this champ can 0/20 and still provide decent utility and dmg and can obviously flip some roams and turn the game on its own. all this considered, should not be able to fight you one on one once you get some items”
ER1KLB says “Qiyana ...
Dash every 3 seconds, invisibility and damage ...
It's really risky to play ZOE against her, you're not going to do much in the early game”
SQBv2 says “Very strong early game champ, build Zhonya's Hourglass first. Qiyana's burst is too strong with her ult. You need to play carefully post level 3. But harass her level 1 and 2 so you can take charge of the lane early and force her to recall.”
ur_mom_gay says “Rough because you kind of have to sit back and let her do her thing in lane. Hard to hit since she has 2 dashes to avoid your Q's. If you engage with R she can hide in her invis, so try to open with WEQ when fighting her. Don't get behind and you should be able to fight her in the midgame.”
Sloyr says “Her early damage is really high with her combo EQ(ice)AAWQ(wall) so you have to either stay away from her, or dodge her combo. At 6, if you're able to dodge her combo, you can go all in. ”
ekkologix says “skill matchup , if she uses her R properly and u get stunned you're dead ,she can dodge our W+E+Q+A.A combo easily , she'll build mob boots probably to roam but can't outpush you.”
583498534583 says “talon ve zed kadar olmasa da qiyana da zor bir matchuptır erken bir maceracının pazubendi tercih edilebilir ( FARM YAPIP 13 14. DAKİKADA ASIRLIK SOPAYI BİTİREBİLECEKSENİZ EĞER PAZUBENDİNE HARCAYACAĞINIZ GOLD YÜZÜNDEN BİTMEYECEKSE TEKRARDAN DÜŞÜNEBİLİRSİNİZ)”
NebuIa says “Don't stand too close to walls. Be ready to bubble her right as she e's if you have good reflexes, or until after she w's away. Watch for facechecking her after she roams, as she may bush camp and kill you instead. Consider barrier if you have trouble.”
TheBlueImperial says “Not a lot she can do, she's incredibly reliant on snowballing and Galio is an incredibly hard target for her to kill. You also follow her roams easily.”
cobbzy says “Make sure to go Doran shield, ask for jungle pressure often. She is a hard matchup but as long as you fight during her cooldowns it is possible. ”
MachyFDW says “Also a farely difficult matchup , if you dont pay atencion to your positioning. Avoid walls if you can and sava your wall for ice w and ultimate.”
vaske_lol says “Rush Seeker's Armguard and avoid trading if she has an element and W off cooldown. Try to freeze the wave and let your team know when she tries to roam.”
LONERlSM says “Look to play passive and when she is looking to roam shove her in. you out scale her and much like alkali buy rylias to slow her down for the team. ”
MarkeleleYasuo says “You cant rely on your windwall because her q kind of explodes in the middle, dont try to fight her unless you are really confident, you have to sit under turret and farm up, her kill pressure is to high, just ping when she goes for a roam and then push asap and get a quick recall ”
Marumo says “Threat level 8.
A cautious 4. I've only played against a Qiyana twice but both times it has been a struggle in lane. She has a good deal of strength but I found in both cases that when we left the laning phase they fell to pieces.”
Cloud375 says “This is a somewhat fun skill matchup to play. She is a melee champ with dashes and a hard hitting ultimate. There are only two things to be aware of when fighting her in lane.
1. Before level 2 don't be afraid to hit her constantly, but be more careful once she hit's level 2 due to her dashes - She can kill you with them if she is good.
2. Once she hits level 6, keep a good distance away from her, but more importantly, keep a good distance away from all walls and turrets, her ultimate can definitely waste you if it lands.
Other than that, this is a fun lane where the better player wins, no stupid "Your damage is absolutely BS" because if she starts to oneshot you, it is COMPLETELY your fault for not being able to stop her from becoming that strong.”
Garybaldo says “Buy early armor, don't underestimate her burst, stay far from walls, other than that she's not much of a threat as she can't push you under turret without putting her in danger of you landing a combo onto her, you outscale pretty hard. Use your W to see if she's roaming, spam-ping the hell out of sidelanes when missing, she has good roam potential”
worddog says “You will want sustain as she does a lot of damage, exhaust can also be useful. Rushing a seekers is a good way to prevent her from bursting you before you can make use of your sustain.”
SirZeros says “Qiwhat?
Okay, that burst is high. Don't let her get too close. Also a nearby tank with some cc should do the trick. She's still pretty squish.
If she cannot kill you, you can.”
Noirubilac says “Stay away from walls to avoid her stun. Pressure her hard at lvl 1 and 2. Watch for ganks. If she overcommits punish her hard.
(You can roam on this,
Gankable,
Gets Outscaled)
”
Tchouvline says “Qiyana is a gap closer champ, to deal huge damages she need to get closer, so you won't have any problem to kite her. Be careful about ganks and you should be fine :D”
shitieboh says “If she gets ganked at start of game you cant do anything to her she can just one shot you after lvl 6
if you want to beat her destroy her before she reaches her lvl 6 ”
chloric says “Be careful for her level 3 power spike. Don't underestimate her Rock Element Q bonus damage. Both of you are roam gods but you have better roaming.”
hoppyscotch says “if you block her ult and at least a q you will always win. But she will just shit on you if she lands her ult, quite a hard matchup, if she engages on you when you dont have windwall you are dead.”
WonderFUllGuy69 says “Be very carefull on this one, she will destroy you early so just farm until 6 and ask your jungler for 1 or 2 ganks. after you get a good lead on her she will become useless”
Vispectra says “AD champion automatically means a pretty hard match-up. She's not exception. Besides that bitchy attitude she will constantly poke you and if you fall below 50% hp , she could easily end up killing you. That R might always screw you if you try to use your ult to fight her. She's got a strong lane but beyond that it should be okay for you. I'd advise Dark seal and 3 pots to try to stick to the lane.”
Best Akali Fra says “Qiyana is one of the most biggest counter of Akali. She have broken mobility (W/Z + E), she can easily pokes you (Q/A) and stun (R) !! Just try to trade her at level 1 with your early combo before she goes to level 2.”
SepekuAW says “This matchup is very hard for syndra if they rush hex drinker. Qiyana can one shot you even from behind, if they don't rush hexdrinker you can one shot as well. There's no real specific tips vs qiyana that i can give as my knowledge vs her is still kinda small. Just be weary of walls when fighting her, and try to proc electrocute once, then wait for it to come back off CD. all in as soon as its back up if shes not full hp.”
Flygenring says “Play lane very safely to avoid her snowballing, get resolve secondary. You WILL outscale her eventually. And if you fight in open spaces, she is more or less useless.”
PandaSenpai101 says “Pre-6 parry the water/river element Q, After 6, be mindful of how you parry, as her threat level comes hard at level 3 and 6. Make sure that she can't get many roams off, as she can make some really impacting roams.”
maplecat21 says “I actually haven't seen her yet, but based on her kit, she doesn't seem too much of a threat. Similar to akali, just don't hug walls post 6, and try and avoid fighting in bushes/river. Notably, your wall doesn't proc her ult explosions.”
RagexAddict says “Qiyana isn't too much of a threat in lane, mainly because her ultimate can't really stun you unless you're hugging a wall. You should be able to trade her at levels 2 and 3.”
Fluctuation says “This matchup is hilariously easy, since Qiyana lacks early damage to counter your engage. Go for poke pre 6 and then go for the kill with ult.”
