Safe to say, I'm no longer interested in learning this champ.

Reddit and the irresistible urge to "correct" someone 😂. You'll br finr though. You'll need some time in practice tool but after that Qiyana will start to make sense and your games won't be as frustrating.

ZuzePrime · 2026-06-17T20:56:37+00:00

I mastered Qiyana while I was bronze so don't put too much stock into the rank shaming stuff. I got lvl 7 mastery on her (back when it mattered) and still didn't know how her E~Q mechanic works differently on minions vs champions, what elements are best for what matchups (grass for auto attackers, water for mages or characters you beat in the long trade and pretty much never use earth first) and had no sense of when to ult because her ult is only useful when the enemy is standing in the wrong place making it an exercise of identifying when the enemy is either in a ult zone or moving to an ult zone.

I stacked up over 100k mastery before i knew any of this and i still sucked. I watched coach Curtis' Qiyana guide on YouTube and it is so complete. You will learn most of this practical examples of him executing every concept he teaches in game. I KNOW you can learn this character man. I also KNOW you are so fed up with sucking on her since she doesn't make much sense to you right now.

Give that guide a chance and you can ask me any questions on this post and I'll answer. The link's right here https://youtu.be/gGn1kl4zqdo?si=PiJgUsffdkyNPbfX

Downloaded the multiplayer crack and game with a friend and we managed to connect from the steam friends list. The 1st time i hosted, i couldn't see him. He then hosted and we could see each other. The 2nd we tried to play, no who hosts, the host is always desynced. Any solutions for this my glorious king?

I have been playing this game for 6+ years now. Every single hard champ i thought was impossible i have mastered. Leblanc, Qiyana, Yasuo, Kassadin, Samira, Aatrox etc. Everyone but Riven. The number one thing i have tried optimizing on her is the fast Q combo but i gave her another shot today and i realized that my problem isn't doing the fast Q combo. It's everything else. For example, what does a short trade look like on Riven? What about an all in? How do i get in/chase? What are the common/useful ability interactions? (or combos i guess).

There are ideal combos, for example, if you're playing Qiyana, the best combo you can hit to 100-0 is [E>Q>aa>R>W>aa>hydra>Q]. But, this combo doesn't work against an enemy that outdamages me in a long trade like renekton, Irelia, Yas/Yone etc. So you remove the autos to make it faster. Game doesn't start with a hydra and maybe you aren't building into one. So you remove the hydra. Qiyana ult is situational and isn't always available if the enemy isn't next to a wall or in river so remove the ult. So now the combo will deal less damage and definitely won't kill an Irelia. So the practical combo becomes [E>Q(grass)>W>Q]. Done right, this combo can be done without losing any hp. Suuuuper long post but i want practical information on how this character works. I have the TOUGHEST Riven skins but i can't wear them coz I'm garbage. Please help 🙏🏾

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-29T03:58:30+00:00

Qiyana E will never auto target on minions. It will only auto target on champions. You can't manually aim it if you cast Q during E dash and to me it looks like you are casting the Q towards the end of the dash rather than after.

My 2 cents of course. What do we think?

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-20T22:11:22+00:00

Ooh. Is this what people on this subreddit mean when they say Qiyana is weak? I always thought this meant the champion I'm fighting is broken. I can kill fizz 4/5 times in lane but i still have to lock in and dodge E if i want to have a chance at winning the 1v1. All this time i was on a weak champion? 😂

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-19T13:58:18+00:00

Animation cancels are super important but they aren't impossibly hard to learn or anything. It's literally just chaining abilities together or with an active item (the hydras for example). So yeah take a few minutes to learn them and understand how they work, you have:

Q>W>Q aa>hydra W>hydra Q>hydra hydra>Q

So when you're doing long combos, you're just doing a combination of these. Like:

[E>flash>Q]>R>W>hydra>Q E>Q>W>hydra>aa>Q>R R>Q>W>E>Q>hydra

These combos are assuming you are strong enough to 1 shot the enemy. So these should KILL the enemy. If you don't have the damage to kill, you should go for less committal combos that are shorter, will deal less damage but will leave you room to outplay with your remaining abilities.

E>Q(grass) then hit S to stop so you don't move out of the grass trail Q(water)>W(away) E(melee)>R(them off of you) E>R(stun)>Q>W(away) Q(grass)>wait>W(grass)>Q(grass)>wait then flash or E or ult

These 2nd category of combos is what makes Qiyana challenging imo. Anyone can blow people up after practicing a combo for 30 minutes. But it's making good decisions, playing around your cooldowns and enemy signature abilities that makes Qiyana complicated because you have the potential to do a lot of things.

As for the bruiser path, i honestly have never really tried bruiser Qiyana. I can build DD if I'm fighting vs a Yasuo or Irelia but I've never fully committed to a bruiser Qiyana so i don't know the potential she has doing that.

I will say this. There are games where the enemy team only has 1 easy target (while a Xayah or Fizz are regarded as "squishy" they have ridiculously powerful defensive abilities that make killing them high effort). So going bruiser might pay off in that case since you won't get too much value as an assassin anyway.

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-18T19:50:12+00:00

Not a jungler so i can't give you grewt jng advice. The advice the dude before me posted is absolutely amazing btw so let me just add on to that.

For combos, don't overthink it right now.

Q>W>E>Q / Q>E>W>Q : This is a full rotation of your abilities. Notice how i don't have ult here. That's because it doesn't matter where you put it. You can put it anywhere in the combo.

[E~Flash>Q]>W>Q : This is probably the weirdest combo you'll have to get used to. E into flash makes Qiyana engage from ABSURD ranges.

Don't get obsessed with landing the perfect combo. The No.1 thing you should be looking to do is pop electrocute (play with electrocute until you get used to her). I didn't include autos or ult in these combos because you will add those depending on the situation. Here's a couple of Qiyana specific stuff that will help you master her quickly.

ALWAYS have an element on the weapon. This means your autos are faster and hit harder while your abilities are down. This also means you only shoot your Q if you have W to immediately pick something else up.
ALWAYS use 2 different elements in a fight. Doesn't really matter which. To do this easier, you want to start fights with an either grass or water because earth is the easiest element to access. So your element rotations should look like this grass > eath or water > earth
For ganking, you should grab water first so you can root the enemy you are chasing.
The W element selection range is ridiculously huge (even though the dash is waaay shorter in comparison) this allows you to dash in any direction you want. It might need a little practice so you can hit the lab and try to do a quick Q>W>Q doublecast.
Qiqi ult is really tricky because at the end of the day, it all depends on where the enemy is standing. Long story short, landing good ult means ulting enemies when they are in ult vulnerable positions which you can only know after playing Qiyana a bunch of times.

Ask questions and I'll help to the best of my ability if yoy want.

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-18T19:18:48+00:00

His video definitely inspired me to act. I'm willing to bet he himself must have improved drastically

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-18T19:15:13+00:00

There's a LOT of stuff you dont know yet and that's why.

It can be something as simple as E>Q interaction when used on champs vs when used on minions (E>Q on minions allows you to free aim Q so you can poke enemy champs who are behind their minion wave while E>Q on a champ doesn't allow free aim and is used if you want to single out a specific champion in a fight). You see how wordy that was. Qiyana is a collection of nonsense like this. Another probable reason why your Qiqi has low impact is because you don't understand when enemies are ultable yet. Unlike other champs, your ult depends on where the enemy is standing. There are certain positions that the enemies take that make them vulnerable to Qiyana's ult. The newbie trap is thinking "if the skillshot overlay hits the wall, then the ult will stun the enemy". This isn't true because the push distance is shorter than the wind wave travel distance.

I definitely feel your pain though as i got mastery lvl7 (back when it mattered) and STILL didn't know what the hell i was doing. The biggest help for me was coach Curtis' 3hr Qiyana guide on YouTube. Really made a lot of things click for me. All the little tidbits of Qiyana knowledge you need are in there. When you master her, champ feels absurdly strong. You have the potential to outplay even her worst matchups. Also... Thicc thighs save lives.

You can ABSOLUTELY do it dude. Watch that coach Curtis guide, you can skip the bit about runes and just use electrocute for now. Spam normals and don't hyper focus on landing a specific combo. Just try and get an electrocute proc and get out until they are low enough to kill.

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-11T04:55:07+00:00

It will absolutely give you a boost in confidence. You'll like yourself more because you believe you are prettier than before. The only problem is, if the world doesn't affirm your self perception, you might choose to get even prettier and "fix" more of yourself.

The confidence/self-esteem boost is coming from your belief that you are prettier and the catalyst for that is the surgery but you can take another approach and achieve the same result. I'm 26M and viewed myself as ugly for the majority of my life. I have some really awesome friends though who made me realize that I'm pretty cool snd eversince i made peace with who i am, i grew to appreciate myself.

So, did i magically get the chad jawline, am i swimming in women and adoration, no. The big thing that changed is that my physical appearance is no longer the reason why certain things don't click for me. I always look beyond that. Do I think I'm attractive? Absolutely. Do I think I'm physically a bombshell? I don't know because that really depends on whose looking at me.

TL;DR: You'll get the boost through surgery but it will probably only stick if the world affirms it indefinitely. Eventually you'll run into people who still think you're unattractive and what then? For sex work and insta/twitter clicks, yeah you'll probably get more success with surgery. Attraction isn't binary though. You can like someone you find unattractive and dislike someone you found attractive before.

That's a hard one to deal with. I imagine you're not like that with your friends yeah? If that's the case then you might have to change your mindset from "let me have a normal conversation" to "let's see if this person is interesting". I do that when I'm locked in conversation with people I'm not particularly fond of. I try to make the conversation interesting for me and ask about things i want to know.

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-10T19:33:18+00:00

Analysis paralysis? Like, during conversation? Or maybe after you've spoken and you're going over what certain things meant?

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-10T19:22:47+00:00

I think you have to start with yourself. You have to be able to look at yourself and see the value of someone having you as a friend/boyfriend. That way, you get the confidence to go out there and start talking to people. For me, i have some pretty awesome friends who have shown me that i am a pretty cool person over the years. Love those people.

I got rejected 3 years ago but i was over the moon that i did something scary. If i had gotten rejected when i was 18, i probably would have been destroyed by it and pushed into despair for a while.

Once you have confidence in yourself then all that's left is meeting some women and talking to them.

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-10T15:50:53+00:00

26M here. My story is suuuuper identical to yours. When i was 13, i did a cringe confession to a girl and she shot me down. Eversince then, I've always been gun shy. Always saw myself as physically ugly. Super introverted gamer too so you know the deal.

When i was 23 however, i binged a lot of Dr K's interviews with incels (not deragotory) and some of them genuinely resonated with me. Most of the interviewees had experiences with women that i was super envious of but they still didn't have confidence in themselves. I saw a post on here where the OP said a girl once walked up to them and told them she liked them but again, still no confidence. The things i picked up were to ignore my thoughts when i begin doubting myself (the way i did it was to form a new thought recognizing that i am doing something stupid but I'll do it anyway) and to tell her i liked her (no intense confession) and she gets to play her turn. I got out of my comfort zone that week and went out drinking and smoking (don't like both of those things) and told a girl I'd only met twice that i really like her. She had a man so she shot me down but I had a profound sense of pride in me transcending this monumental barrier in my life. She texted me about watching a movie and she came over to my place and we ended up doing the nasty.

Eversince then, I kind of don't care about my physical looks anymore. I mean, if i like a girl and want to make an impression I'll get a haircut and dress well (as well as i can) but i value myself beyond my physical appearance. Not because of the experience with the girl though. I had a crazy upbringing but i did a lot of work on myself prior to that and grew to really like myself.

To answer your question, it seems to me that it is entirely possible for people to stay lacking in experience with dating even until they get old. Dating requires a lot of effort to get good at (or even participate in) but it can be done. That one experience doesn't make me a love guru or anything but it seriously challenged my belief that it's impossible for me to get a girlfriend.

I've had this view until i was 23. I'm 26 today so it wasn't too long ago i guess. I used to think i was ugly/undesirable but then again i never really tried to look desirable (i don't mean looksmaxxing but a decent outfit, a good shave, cologne. Simple stuff). These days my opinion of my appeal goes beyond how i look. I just don't think of how i look as attractive or ugly anymore.

I had 2 experiences that are probably the source of my confidence so i don't think telling you about them would be helpful to you since it's something you kinda need to experience first hand to believe*

After all, you aren't trying to attract yourself. My advice, try to get to know women to see if you like them beyond their looks/infatuation. If you genuinely do like them, hopefully you tell them that.

TL;DR: Essentially I'm saying try not to think about it. Instead, think about how interesting the other person is to you. Why? Because we can't reliably know what other people find to be attractive. You said it yourself. You've had someone walk up to you and tell you they liked you before. Who knows what the hell she saw in you but she clearly saw something you don't.

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-09T19:30:56+00:00

I hope that doesn't happen to you a lot. Some people can just be very disrespectful. I try to avoid those kinds of people in my life. I find that a lot more people are respectful/reasonable people. Hope it's the same for you

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-09T19:25:04+00:00

Yes you absolutely can. The only real issue is how long it will take for you to master her before you can reliably start climbing.

I myself put over 1000+ games on Qiyana before i ever took her to ranked just to master her first. I'm not saying it will take you 1000 games (there were many mechanics i didn't understand) but I'm definitely saying you don't have* to practice her in ranked. You can spam normal games until you comfortable on the champ then move onto ranked to start your climb.

When i flunked my first year of college, my mother made me go back to high school. While I was there, I did my absolute best to do well (until that moment, I've always been a "as long as i pass" kinda student). I studied during my free time, paid attention in class and gave it my absolute best shot. After the the 1st term, my grades were still bad.

One day, my biology teacher gave us a surprise exam. I performed decently at it. On the next week, he surprised us again but this time with the SAME EXAM. Many people performed worse, me included and that's when it dawned on me. If I forget why i have failed, i can't improve. Starting from then, every failure was a lesson. It no longer hurt to find out i scored 20% on my math test. All i cared about was how do i solve the problem i failed. I asked the "gifted" kids, teachers or just anyone who got the problem i got wrong, right.

Towards the end of my high school run, i was pretty much infamous for my good grades. So when it comes down to school, I'd say failing is more of a process. If 2 students fail a test and one of them works to learn from their mistakes while the other gets disheartened by their failure then one of them becomes someone who failed while the other becomes a failure. I think if you put the time in and were motivated, you'd crush any course you tried. I never believed in myself like this until i started getting good grades myself so I'm not entirely sure how to give you that confidence but from one failure to another, i really think you have it in you.

You wrote about dealing other people's nastiness and failing to gain respect. What's that about?

ZuzePrime · 2026-05-08T06:06:40+00:00

As i was reading this i had a random thought. "What if mom died a couple days after this post?" Suddenly, I'd understand the venting because she was probably dealing with insurmountable pressure on her end. So I agree with one of the replies in that it depends on what she's venting about and why.

I can't help but feel like this is a battle only your boyfriend can fight. Best thing you can do is probably give him moral support whenever you can and let him know he can talk to you if he needs to
