Pros:

• High Burst Damage: Qiyana boasts exceptional burst damage, especially when utilizing her full combo. With the right setup, she can swiftly eliminate squishy targets or heavily damage even tankier foes.
  
• Elemental Flexibility: Qiyana's ability to manipulate elements (Brush, River, Terrain) grants her versatility in various situations. Each element enhances her abilities differently, allowing for adaptability in different scenarios.
  
• Strong Roaming Potential: With her mobility from Audacity (E) and Terrashape (W), Qiyana excels at roaming to other lanes to secure kills and objectives. Her gank assistance can turn the tide of battles across the map.
  
• Terrain Interaction: Qiyana's ultimate, Supreme Display of Talent (R), deals increased damage and has added effects when cast near specific elements. Mastering terrain interaction can lead to devastating plays, such as wall stuns or multi-person knockbacks.
  
• Assassin and Fighter Hybrid: Qiyana can fulfill both assassin and fighter roles depending on the game's needs. She has the burst potential to delete priority targets quickly, while also possessing the survivability to stay in prolonged engagements.

Cons:

• High Skill Floor: Qiyana's kit requires precise positioning, timing, and knowledge of terrain interaction to maximize effectiveness. Mastering her mechanics can be challenging for newer players, resulting in a high skill floor.
  
• Limited Crowd Control: While Qiyana does have crowd control in the form of her ultimate and W (ice), it's not as reliable or consistent as some other midlane champions. Her kit leans more towards burst damage rather than crowd control utility.
  
• Reliance on Terrain: Qiyana's effectiveness is heavily dependent on the availability of terrain in the surrounding environment. In open spaces or terrain-limited areas, she may struggle to access her full potential.
  
• Vulnerable to Crowd Control: Like many assassins, Qiyana is vulnerable to crowd control effects. If caught out of position or CC'd during her engage, she can be quickly burst down before having a chance to deal significant damage.
  
• Itemization Constraints: Qiyana's itemization can sometimes feel limited due to her reliance on lethality and mobility items. Deviating too far from her core build path can result in decreased effectiveness and damage output.
