Quinn Win Condition

Winning a lead (CS or kill) pre-six. Winning trades by accepting Quinn QQ poke but immediately trading back harder with Quinn EE. Roaming heavily post-six.

Malphite Win Condition

Poking you out with Malphite QQ (Seismic Shard) spam, denying your shield passive, and landing Malphite RR (Unstoppable Force) for a one-shot or gank setup.

General Strategy

Malphite is often considered Quinn's hardest or best ban. Run Fleet Footwork for sustain against his poke. Level 1-5 is your window.

Build Wits End rush for MR and magic damage (to go through his armor stacking). Try to hit him every 10 seconds to stop his passive shield. Post-six, do not be low health near him.

Trading Patterns

When he Qs, Quinn EE him to dodge the comet and auto trade. Only go near hisMalphite QQ range when your E or Quinn QQ is up. Every time he Qs you, accept the damage but respond immediately with E + all autos to make the trade favorable for you. Post-six, if he ults, flash the Quinn RR if you can anticipate it.

Wave Management

Use the Cheater Recall setup (slow push first two waves, crash third) to gain an item advantage, then force a freeze near your tower to deny him farm. Malphite has terrible wave clear, so you can break his freezes by flying top and hard-shoving (using Fleet to heal up the Quinn QQ poke).
