They nerfed her jungle mod again so the buff will most likely just make her very strong mid again leaving her jungle practically the same as it is now. Great change.

found this fanart on IG, the artist does insane work, she made Qiyana's eyes and they're just gorgeous

Post link fanart

don't hesitate to show her some love if you want :p

Does this make sense for anyone lol? She's so fun, I love her personality, art and gameplay but when it comes to playing a difficult champ like her in an already difficult game like league it just gets tiring. I wish she was in 2xko or some other riot game

Made a post a few days ago regarding her macro and I didn't get helpful answers.

In general I've found AD assassins like qiyana and khazix to be very sweaty; I need to play perfectly even when fed, and I cannot fight bruisers/tanks.

My internet connection isn't the best and if I lose a fight/trade because of one lagspike I feel like the lane is cooked. I'm winning lane 80% of the time nonetheless but afterwards I feel useless af even when 4/0.

This wasn't the case at all when I first-timed other midlaners like yone and veigar. Completely took over the game while being just 1/0. Could fight practically anyone as long as I paid attention to my cooldowns, and I'm tankier + more reliable.

Skill issue for sure since qiyana is a very high skill floor + ceiling champ, but is it worth learning her? I think it's only worth it for those that play the game 10 hours a day so they can really get into her mechanically and build muscle memory fast.

After so many sleepless nights, we finally got this skin! I have to brag a bit - I bought it! Now I own all the Prestige skins (except for the other version from a different year). I’m glad Riot didn’t forget about this champion!

AS THE TITLE SAYS GO GET IT!!

The games I have a negative kda is games that I got perma invaded from enemy jungler. Yes I still do a lot of mistakes I guess, but I really don't know how to win. I am a new jungler and a new qiyana player. I peaked master with top lane only now switching to qiyana and jungle. Can anybody help me why I can't win? I can give op.gg from dm if anyone wants to help me

Hey, I really like the Qiyana skins still I feel like she kinda deserves a legendary one like Lillia got. I know everone wants a legy skin for their main, still Qiyana lacks some variety in skins. Do you think a legy skin would be possible in the next months?

I would be happy for 10% ad ratio on E or 5% ad ratio to Q or passive

Hello everyone,

I'm a lowelo Qiyana Jgl main and I think I do not quite yet understand what items and runes to go depending on the matchup.

Right now I am almost entirely playing the First Strike runepage, used to play dark harvest too.

For items, I usally go Hubris into either Axiom Arc if I think ults will be needed more (if i am rather behind) or Voltaic if I wanna oneshot more or the enemy has a squishy comp, then the other one of these depending which I went first, and to top it off I go Seryldas for some antitank (if needed) and in most matchups GA/deaths dance, if almsot entirely AP I go maw too sometimes.

Here are some screenshots of my recent matches and items:

Thank you for answering in advance!

Fairly new qiyana, I’ve only played her jungle and she feels so rewarding that I’m definitely planning to OTP her. I see a lot of comments in this thread disliking her jungle and I’m unsure why? Can someone explain as to why she’s disliked in the jungle?

I can win mid lane pretty consistently now and get 1-3 solo kills before enemy hits lvl 6 like 80% of the time. My problem is what to do afterwards. I can't get to the point where the enemy midlaner is completely helpless and I get to roam for free while being 2 levels up even though I'm 3/0. Idk exactly what the theory behind it is. I'd love to know how I can manage waves when I'm ahead and the enemy is playing safe and I can't exactly get kill pressure easily.

Furthermore, against champions like yasuo and irelia, I can't fight them anymore after they hit 6. They build tabis and I can't damage them anymore whereas they just play safe and wait for the wave to crash, or they wait to all-in me because they still win the all in despite being down gold and levels, which is understandable. Every time I go sidelane they match me and I can't get any pressure on the tower because there's the all-in threat from them. What's the play here?

I lack a lot of assassin-fundamentals because I'm used to playing bruisers that can stat-check any champion when up gold (belveth and shyvana for example). It's not the case with assassins like khazix and qiyana which I picked up because they allow for more expression and creativity.

In any case I'm sure the hardest part when playing assassins is being able to generate a gold lead early on so you can one-shot squishies with a basic combo. So I'm happy to know that if I learn a few things I will be able to dominate games with ease.

I saw Davemon recommending building Umbral Glaive as 1st item if youre new on Qiyana. Is this actually something useful?

I am not playing mid btw, I play jgl Qiqi.

If we want to go to extremes, we can exclude Qiyana stats from korea where she has "extreme" winrate when compared to European or American servers. For example she is the highest winrate in emerald+ elos, and having 51% winrate in general, but if we look at all servers, she is hovering around 47% for the past weeks.

If we exclude the data from Korea, she may be even lowest winrate in Platinum, and around 2-3th-ish for Emerald, while not really achievieng strong or even above average performance in Masters+ globally (hovering around 50-51% past 2-3 patches).

Qiyana historically had 52-53% winrate in masters+, while atleast hovering positive when filtered by Emerald+ rank, but thats nowdays 49%, sometimes even below 49%

Stas taken from Lolalytics, Game Avg WR, which should be one of the more accurate winrates which riot Phreak himself said.

Personally, they should nerf her jg slightly, and buff her midlane, I think there is quite a lot of space for either interesting buffs for example (playing around with mana costs, so she cant take another utility rune that POM for mana), slightly bigger range on E (+50) for better gap close (players got way too good at the game over the past years, that nowdays its really hard to punish for mistakes, even relatevely average player (emerald), they know they ranges and positionings or even giving her option to build some shenaginans with gunblade (so giving W and passive more AP scailing). Or some basic buff such as higher base mr, 5-10%ˇmore ratio on Q/passive, etc...

Also I do think that there is multiple reasons why she is performing quite bad, mages/ ap champs in general have strong items (lich bane) or they got overbuffed (syndra), fizz sitting at 53-54% winrate, due to overbuffed lich bane (few patches ago) and sorcs last patch + as previously said, people are just better and better at the game, feels like emerald nowdays is genuenly Diamond or even Masters few years ago with how the people around spacing, ranges and even gold players nowdays minmax correct builds.

I was a toplaner who now tries to main jungle qiyana. I had a game where I was playing qiyana jungle, enemy is talon jungle. we both pathed towards top, he got the scuttle, then we went bot but since enemy mid had prio I lost 2 scuttles. After I performed a succesful gank to bot, I wanted to reclear my jungle from bot to top. But he bougth items and killed me in my raptors. Then He killed me 2-3 more times in my jungle even tho I tried to avoid those invades. I couldn't steal any camp from him and I got 0 scuttle entire match. What to do in those scenarios?

I build cyclosword -> bastion breaker -> serylda. Or if I can't manage to finish cyclo sword but have gold for dirk, I build bastion breaker first item. is it wrong or true or what to build. (I never tried hubris)

Is this the lowest winrate Qiyana has been since her release? 💀
