Quinn vs Locke Counter Pick

Locke pays health for his damage, and that shapes the entire jungle matchup. Soul Ignition grants attack speed and move speed while damaging him, healing part of it back only when the duration ends, and Silver Stake adds on-hit magic damage that grows with the target’s missing health. Both reward close-quarters commitment, and both are worth less against a champion attacking from 525 units. A 441-game sample on patch 16.13.1 gives Quinn 58.5%.

Her blind matters more than usual. Blinding Assault removes the basic attacks carrying Silver Stake and the marks left by Ritual Nails, which Locke consumes through attacks rather than spells. Ashen Pursuit is his approach, teleporting before dashing at the next target, so it is the cooldown worth tracking before stepping toward contested camps. His listed damage type is physical, matching Quinn’s, which makes armor the first defensive purchase in both directions. He is the heavier body, 655 health at level one and 2508 at 18, moving at 340 to her 330, yet he ends with only 103.4 armor against her 107.9. Difficulty is rated 5 on each side, so execution is a wash and positioning decides it. Purgatory is the exception worth fearing, since a binding artifact that can execute a damaged target makes carrying a low health bar around objectives unwise. His abilities are on the Locke page.
