I start playing League of Legends in Season 3. I've always loved midlane & the assasins that are being played in that role. The highest rank I've been was D1 37LP, this was when I was playing a lot of Katarina. Which is also one of my main champs, besides Katarina I main Qiyana.


I hope to hit next season a little higher than Diamond but we'll see. Aside from League, I am a programming Student of 23 years old. Well if you have any questions about some champs in midlane or anything else feel free to stop by my twitch.
Flash and Ignite are the two summoners you should run on all assasins.

For Qiyana you will need Ignite for sure, it gives this extra burst damage what will allow you to execute enemy midlaner with Q on lvl 3.

Flash will be needed to have an escape or some outplay potential if needed, there's gonna be moments someone will be really low and you'll have to Flash Q after them to secure the kill. It is also a great engage with your ultimate to surprise the enemy.

-OR-


Mobility boots > MOVEMENT SPEED
These boots allow you to rotate around the map way faster,I recommend going these when you have full prio in the midlane. So you can use them to their full potential. A downside is that you will have no defensive stats & when caught off guard you will have a hard time trying to escape.



Mercury's Treads > TENACITY
You're against a team of full ap laners or a lot of CC? Then these boots will help you the best. It's pretty important to be able to move as an assasin, so a bit more tenacity is always welcome. Besides the reducing effects of cc it also provides +25 magic resist.



Plated steelcaps > AD DAMAGE REDUCTION
If you're up against a full team of AD champions, I still recommend going plated steelcaps. You have the job to assasinate the enemy not, so don't get yourself killed by an enemy assasin while trying to do that.





Electrocute build


You choose this build when, there's maximum one tank & a lot of squichy targets.

Eclipse
This is the mythical item is okay if you're learning qiynana, another one would be duskblade. THat's the one I love to go to be perma stealth.

Umbral Glaive
Umbral Glaive is a really important item on Qiyana, as an assasin you want come when the enemy does not expect it. So with umbral Glaive you can clear wards super fast.

Youmuu's Ghostblade
Youmuu's Ghostblade will be used as our roaming item, can also be a second item rush. Instead of the Umbral Glaive, depends on how much roaming potential there is in your game. Besides using it for roaming, it could also give you a way out of a fight.

Edge of Night
Edge of Night is the item when we want to go for a clean combo without being interrupted.

Guardian Angel
Edge of NightThe last item we go is as backup for the mistakes we can make. We have to make sure to atleast use all our abilities before we go down. It is also a great bait, sometimes enemies will use everything to bring you down and with this they will have to do it twice.





Conqueror build


This build is being used when there's a lot of tanks in the enemy team.

Eclipse
This is the mythical item you should go on Qiyana both for Electrocute or Conqueror.

Black Cleaver
Black cleaver will provide the extra armor penetration damage we need in order to hurt tanks. It will stack up 6 times reducing enemy armor for 4% each time. It will also deal bonus damage based off of their missing health.

Muramana
After we bought the serrated dirk from the first back we bought a tear afterwards. This will stack the whole time while we buy our Eclipse & Cleaver first. This will give us bonus damage.

Serylda's Grudge
This will give a lot of needed armor penetration and will also slow enemies. Easier to catch up to very mobile champions like ezreal for example.

Ravenous Hydra
Since we will have a lot of AD damage this item will do well with our build. Will provide a lot of extra damage in long lasting teamfights.

Domination + Precision


  • KEYSTONE
  • Electrocute: Perfect rune for Qiyana, giving her that burst damage to execute squichy targets. Also very good to use in 1V1 trades on midlane. Hit those 3 abilities or attacks and the enemy midlaner will be surprise by the damage.[/center]
  • MINOR RUNE
  • Sudden Impact: Very good rune for Qiyana, offering her extra burst damage after a dash or stealth. She can use both of these since her grass element makes use of the stealth and then her E of the dash. Besides this rune, you could pick Taste if blood. This rune comes in handy against poke lanes.
  • MINOR RUNE
  • Eyeball Collection: Every takedown you gain 1.2 AD, gaining an adaptive bonus of 6 AD once you've taken down 10 champions. This will result in even more AD to help you assasinate champs.
  • MINOR RUNE
  • Ravenous Hunter: Per stack you will heal for 1.5% (+2.5% per Bounty Hunter Stack) of damage dealty by your abilities. This will be helpfull during long lasting teamfights or when you want to regen some HP before starting another fight.[/center]
  • SECONDARY RUNE
  • Presence of Mind: Damaging an enemy will increase your mana regeneration by 1.5-11 mana per second. This is necessary because you'll find out that Qiyana is actually very mana consuming. With this rune you'll be able to stay out of fountain much longer. [/center]
  • SECONDARY RUNE
  • Coup de Grace: You deal 8% more damage to champions with less than 40% health. You'll be dropping the health of your enemies very fast, so the extra damage from this run will help securing the kill. [/center]

How do you play midlane as Qiyana?




The combos in laning phase


You want to play the lane really safe till you get lvl3. If you end up getting poked before lvl 3, you might lose the trade you're gonna want to do when reaching lvl3.At lvl 2 you can try and throw a Q at the enemy laner to deal a little poke damage. So when full hp & lvl 3(even if u had to use potions), with long sword start you want to go for a trade. I prefer going for ICE element,the perfect trade would be throwing your Edge of Ixtal on them from a distance & then gap closing with Terrashape (earth element) do continue hitting them + ignite. The ignite + electrocute + hitting them will make them really low. Note since we gap closed by using W, we still have our E. That's perfect because now they are probably low and want to escape. What you want to do is finish them off by using E Q at the same time, so you're Q will always connect.

When done correctly this trade works most of the times. Another trade you can do is go in with E Q(Q being brush element this time) and W out throwing another earht Q for that big trade damage. Then after you go in with the E Q (Q being ICE) and finish them of with W basic attack Q.

These are the most important trades when playing Qiyana in the early game.
Then after when these worked then fun can start and you can dominate the lane.

Now another combo you can use when having an advantage over your opponent is this one in the video below.

What I do here is using my W to gap close towards Akali followed by using my R and finishing off with E Q all at the same time. So the Q always hits, even in her shroud.



If you want to see more combo's please check out one of my youtube video's where there are many different combos.
