Hello!
I started playing League near the end of 2024 and honestly, I wanted to quit right away — but my friend pushed me to keep playing.
Not long after, I played against a Quinn Mid and thought, *how can this be fair?!* She killed me while I couldn’t even see, and when I finally could, she’d already killed my whole team too.
So naturally, I tried her… and I loved her.

I started getting addicted to League. A little later I began playing ranked and within two months I reached Gold — even though one of those months was during exams (I swear I tried to study a bit…).
The only problem was that I didn’t know matchups or the game that well, and there weren’t any guides for Quinn Mid because basically no one plays her. So I thought, why not make one myself?

If this helps you — great! If it doesn’t… sorry for wasting your time 😅
But I’m still learning, so don’t trust me *too much* 😉

(P.S. I might joke about being toxic, but don’t actually do that. Be kind — even birds have hearts!)

Pros Zoomies: Behind Enemy Lines turns you into an F-16 jet. Burst Queen: Electrocute + Vault = *delete button.* Roam Monster: Clears fast, flies fast, tilts fast. Vision Control: Heightened Senses makes facechecking a little less “oops.”

Cons Squishy as a paper bag: One mistake = gray screen simulator. Teamfights? Not your thing. Pick targets, don’t 5v5. Needs gold badly: Falling behind feels like being a pigeon with no wings.

	Electrocute — Boom. Burst. Gone. Your whole identity in one rune. Great vs squishies and most mages.
	Sudden Impact — Free lethality when you Vault into them. Always good, always satisfying.
	Grisly Mementos — Keep score on your enemies. Every takedown leaves a mark that weakens them, making your next strike deadlier. Perfect for a bird that hunts with precision — the more you kill, the more you dominate.
	Treasure Hunter — More gold = more one-shots = more rage quits. Win-win.
	Celerity — You’re fast. This makes you faster. That’s it. Go zoom.
	Absolute Focus — Bonus AD when healthy. Perfect since you kill before getting touched (hopefully).
	Gathering Storm — Scales infinitely. Late game? You’re a bird-shaped nuke.
	Scorch — Extra poke early to help you dominate lane even harder. Burn them before they know what hit them.

Alternative — Press the Attack (Precision) + Sorcery

	Press the Attack — Great for extended trades vs tanks/bruisers. Think of it as the “I actually auto more than once” build.
	Triumph — Restores health on takedowns and grants bonus gold. Stay alive, snowball harder.
	Legend: Alacrity — Faster autos = faster Harrier resets = faster death (for them).
	Cut Down — Extra damage vs higher-health targets. Makes tanky enemies feel light.
	Coup de Grace — Finishes off enemies before they finish typing “???”
	Absolute Focus — Bonus AD when healthy. Same as in primary — kill first, ask questions later.
	Celerity — Increases movement speed for better roams and kiting. Go zoom.
	Gathering Storm — Late game scaling for even bigger bird bombs.
	Scorch — Extra poke early to pressure enemies. Burn them before they can fight back.

	Long Sword + Refillable Potion — The bread and butter start. More damage, faster spike.
	Doran's Blade — Only take this if the enemy’s burst makes you question your life choices.

Core (always build these first):

	Profane Hydra — Waveclear machine and AoE burst in one. Great for crushing minion waves while also threatening enemies who think they can face you 1v1. BUY THIS FIRST (except if you only buy tiamat and then later upgrade this, if you want hubris fast for example).
	Edge of Night — Spell shield to dodge a key ability or prevent a chain of CC. Makes you way safer versus Lux binds, Morgana roots, or any “oops, I’m dead” moment. You want this early, so second or third!
	Lord Dominik's Regards (LDR) — Armor? Don’t care. Still dies. Really important in every Quinn build, best to buy this 3th or 4th.

Often Used / Highly Recommended:

	Youmuu's Ghostblade — Go zoom. Literally. Activatable speed = best roams and flank setups. You can always buy this but really helpfull early.
	Opportunity — Kill faster, move faster, laugh louder. Helps snowball when fed. You can always buy this like Youmuu's Ghostblade, if you need extra lethality early buy this before youmuu's otherwise later.

Situational Picks:

	The Collector — Execute people for existing. Simple, effective, toxic. If you want last hits buy this second or third, otherwise not.
	Mortal Reminder — Stop them from healing like it’s a free spa day. Apply Grievous Wounds and watch champions who rely on lifesteal or sustain cry as your bursts stick. This replaces ldr but only buy this if ignite isn't enough anti-heal!
	Serpent's Fang — Delete shields and egos. Great vs Karma, Janna, or anyone “supporting.”
	Voltaic Cyclosword — Fancy item. Use when you feel spicy and don't need Edge of Night.
	Hubris — For when you’re *really* feeling yourself. Buy this as fast as you can, so after tiamat or profane. If you really want to gamble then buy this first.
	Guardian Angel — “Surprise! I’m back.” Great for those 10/0 games where death is a tragedy. Buy this last
	Maw of Malmortius — The anti-ap-assassin panic shield. They jump in, you don’t die, they regret their life choices. Buy this if against full ap or if you're playing against someone that can 1 shot you and you think a small shield could make the difference

Core:

	The Collector — Still core. Execute = dopamine. You want this second if you don't need Edge of Night otherwise third.
	LDR — Always here. Shreds tanks, melts bruisers. You want this before or after Infinity Edge so third or fourth.
	Infinity Edge — The big red crit numbers make you feel things. You want this or last (with Edge of Night) or third or fourth.

Often Used / Highly Recommended:

	Statikk Shiv — Waveclear machine + zap noises. Great early pick for crit Quinn. I don't think I need to type this but first, always buy this first or not!!!
	Edge of Night — Because being stunned sucks. Buy this second or third or not.

Situational:

	Immortal Shieldbow — For when you need that “oh ****” button. Survive the burst, then immediately crit someone for 100% of their dignity. Always last.
	Profane Hydra — Sometimes you just need both waves and faces cleared. Buy this first if you don't want/need Statikk Shiv
	Kraken Slayer — First shot: a handshake - Second shot: a hug - Third shot: WHOLE GALAXY DELETED!!! Buy this first if you don't need wave clear and playing against 4/5 tanks (so normally never, it's better for top laners)
	Youmuu's Ghostblade — Still amazing mobility if you miss flying fast. Can replace Edge of Night
	Opportunity — Keeps that fed energy rolling. Can also replace Edge of Night
	Yun Tal Wildarrows — Only vs 4+ tanks. If you ever actually build this, build this second and congrats on surviving that lobby.

When to switch from Lethality → Crit:
If the match lasts longer than a Yasuo montage, switch to Crit. Keep LDR, grab IE + Collector, and make your damage consistent instead of “flash in, delete, gone.”

Here, I'm going to describe what you need to do against the most common types of enemies you're going to play against "MAGES"

A lot of mages have a stun, if this is too annoying buy Edge of Night second.

Most mages also have 1 dmg ability (Q) and they need it to waveclear so when they use it on the wave you can go in for a trade.

Before reading the next part, you will probably be like this:[/b][/b][/b]
"Ow they use Q on wave, I should trade now, You instantly Vault and they will stun you and then amumu comes out of no where and ults you and sejuani top will ult you too, And you'll die."

So what you should do is run away from the enemy minions to the mage and Q ( Blinding Assault ) him. He will panick and use his stun, but he is blind and you're fast (bcs of the Harrier you get from Q) so he will miss his stun. Then you keep trading and you will e as late as possible and during your e you will use your tiamat ability and ignite him, and he will die.

But here's is the most difficult part: he will be typing how balanced Quinn is, but recall first before calling him dumb. Because otherwise there will be a Shaco putting 10 boxes behind you and then you will die.
So RECALL FIRST

So sometimes you will meet another assassin, and they will be able to one-shot you, so you'll think what can I do against this, so you'll read this.

First, all assassin's have a gap closer, so keep you're Vault for this and most of the time you will survive.

"What do you mean most of the time?", yeah for some reason Diana has multiple dashes so you're dead anyway, that's what I mean.

But if they use their gap closer and you e them (and he isn't a Diana player 🤮), just follow them while they are running to tower, it's free dmg and who doesn't like that?

But do watch out for random Evelynn players who were standing next to you the whole time and saw everything happen and when her team8 is almost dead she will charm you so they can 1-shot you and make you rage-quit.
