Qiyana Counters

The top champions out of lane to counter Qiyana include Zeri, Kog'Maw, and Ezreal. These champions are all good at countering Qiyana with high win rates over 57%. Even if these Qiyana counter picks are not used in the same position as you, it's not a good idea to play her into any of these matchups. They will often destroy Qiyana.

Conversely, if the opposing team brings either Blitzcrank or Nilah, Qiyana mains should strongly consider selecting her, as she easily wins against these champions with win rates over 52% against both ofthem.

Beware of Qiyana's Ultimate R ability. If she's able to execute it effectively, particularly in the jungle, it can be a game-changer. Try keeping fights in open areas where this ability is less effective.

Dodge her mobility and burst damage. Qiyana has a lot of mobility and burst damage, especially in the late game. Try to keep her at range and avoid face-to-face close combats.

Take advantage of her dependence on Elements. An attentive player can know which Element Qiyana has and adjust their strategies accordingly. This is a key factor when engaging her in the laning phase.

Capitalize when Qiyana is behind. If she falls behind, her damage in team fights is greatly reduced. Keep the pressure on her to limit her impact.

Keep an eye on her roaming potential. Qiyana has strong 1v1 potential and may roam around the map for kills. Be ready to respond and help your teammates.

Watch out for Qiyana in the late game. She's adept at ambushing isolated targets - stay attentive and avoid wandering alone.

Stay vigilant during key moments of power spike. Qiyana's power spikes at levels 6, 11, and 16 enhance her damage abilities significantly and she becomes a high priority target. Be prepared for her increased threat level during these stages.
