What is Quinn's weakness in top lane? If you're a close range melee champion and someone picks Quinn into you what is the correct course of action?

semi-serious joke answer: Taric Top. Max Q first, rush Icebourne Gauntlet. Once you finish Gauntlet you can kill her rear end at will because she will be doing no damage through your self heal spamming and run out of mana faster than you. the weakness of course comes from being motherfucking solo lane taric but it's worth the quinn tears imo

real answer: Malphite dicks on her hard. You can just rush armor and delete her at level 6 if she keeps trying to fight you. Graves top is probably doable vs. Quinn but a skill matchup. Someone suggested Rammus which once you get your first item will probably make you invincible against her.

best real answer: Lissandra and Morgana top are both strong in that they give 0 shits about her lovely harassing gimmick and can outpush her and pressure her extremely hard at level 6. also pretty strong picks against dives once they hit 6. also provide fantastic TP ganks to bottom lane and have a ton of CC to stop her from doing poo poo in fights. if your jungler ganks for your lane and you picked one of these two champions then Quinn turns into a walking sack of 300 gold.

I think taking a break from LoL to play SFV has been real good for my group. We've only played twice in the past week, but both games were super pleasant crushing victories compared to the old passive-aggressive saltfests from before our break.

I am torn on the most solo queue possible mid laner. There are a lot of good options. Is it Zed? Yasuo? Leblanc is way worse than those two but getting a mid Yasuo on your all ad Riven/Yi/Vayne team is always classic. Zed has a really high win rate now though so does that disqualify him?

I think Riven/Yi/Vayne/Blitz are all the undisputed solo queue champs of their respective roles.

Yesterday, I had the following team in Ranked Bronze II:

Master Yi jungle (me)
Lucian (ADC)
Shyvana (Top)
Yasuo (Mid) (Who went 1/12/6 by the way, as a good Yasuo should)

And the absolute best, icing on the cake kicker?

If I had last pick as jungle or top I'd get a massive boner as I lock in Rammus.

How do you safely ward against a pick comp? Just fought a Quinn/Eve team as Soraka and it felt like if we ever lost map pressure it was lost for good unless they showed themselves in lanes, because stepping foot into the jungle alone meant I was going to get my teeth kicked in.

If you've lost jungle control it's not safe to ward against any kind of comp, not just a pick comp. You have to set up the line of vision by warding from the safest possible location and slowly working your way further out with vision.

If the enemy team is a pick comp then presumably you are a better team fighting comp and if not you are in trouble. Move in tandem or triples and try to group to secure the areas of vision required around objectives. No one can hero ball or face check or you will inevitably start a 1by1 wipe of your team. Make the pick comp come out of the jungle to do stuff like defend towers or dragon and see if they have the mettle to handle you in an open fight. Get vision in groups before or after that and try to do more safe team fights.

quinn can completely zone both morg and lissandra. you're right, that once they hit 6 they can translate that into being useful, but quinn straight up out damages lissandra at a similar range

if you make a pick to rely on your jungler, at least do it with malphite or nasus or something

Thankyou all for your responses, I truly appreciate the effort that went into them, but advice on who to pick into Quinn is difficult to take on when Quinn is the one being picked into you.

Also thankyou Nyandaber Z, I shall take your words to heart and hopefully dominate stupid ranged bird champions in the top lane.

the point is, 'pick quinn' is legit advice against most melee top laners, so nobody can really tell you how to do well in a lane thats hard from the get-go other than "get cs and dont die"

So with the potential Sion legendary skin thing - has anyone played him in the jungle lately? I know cinderhulk ain't what it used to be, but with SotA being the go-to jungle keystone and titanic hydra being a thing it can't be that awful, can it?

Something like Cinderhulk>merc treads>titanic>randuins/banshee's/warmog's could get you to the 6K health dream.
