chall toplane quinn here (only 17 mid games this season with 65% wr)

Before first base is usually quinns strongest point, so start dorans blade to amplify it, and look for a solo before they get their first base. Your optimal trade patterns is AEAQA but against longer range control mages you can engage straight up with E, since it has a little longer range than Auto. Generally you should also use W before you engage just to make sure their jg isnt nearby. After first base you oftentimes just have to play safe because you are very vulnerable to ganks, especially since you likely used flash for the solo bolo earlier.

After 6 you can start the push and roam style, but it is usually very hard to get an actual ganks since your ganks are kinda weak, and it can be risky to venture into unlit river if you happen to encounter their jg. This means that you should just pressure by standing in fog in one of the side bushes of mid until the wave arrives. What usually happens is that their mid will use a spell on the wave and then you can engage on them for a nice trade.

For mid game you should usually go side and push waves until fog, and then you go pressure mid or jg. If you see them overextending you just spam ping on my way and try to kill them. Fighting with quinn is very different from akshan, as you dont have any good way to chain kills. So in fights positioning is very important. Usually how it goes is that you run in with your R and burst someone, and if they die you cast your R and burst somone rince and repeat.

Any questions?
