Quinn Win Condition

Canceling hisGaren QQ (Decisive Strike) with yourQuinn EE and denying his passive healing. This is considered the easiest matchup in the game.

Garen Win Condition

Landing Garen QQ (silence) to enable hisGaren EE spin and Garen RR execute, or catching you with a Flash + Q combo.

General Strategy

Run Press the Attack for high damage. Save yourQuinn EE for hisGaren QQ. You can use yourQuinn QQ to blind him, preventing him from casting hisGaren RR (Demacian Justice) on you.

Garen is a speed matchup; if you have more speed (Quinn EE. g. , Tier 2 boots or BoRK), he becomes useless.

Trading Patterns

When he charges Quinn QQ, let him run close to you (to maximize yourQuinn EE pushback), then E him to cancel hisGaren QQ damage and silence. After canceling his Q, punish him aggressively until his Q (8-second cooldown) is back up. Throw auto attacks or use abilities to hit Garen every few seconds to put his passive regeneration on cooldown.

Wave Management

Against a passive Garen who hides under tower, perform a slow push, crash the wave, and then immediately force a wave freeze near your tower. This denies him all CS and XP, making him unable to play the game.
