Qiyana Tips and Tricks

Look for fights when the enemy is close to a wall. Pushing them into it will result in a lot of damage dealt and allow your team to win the fight. Fighting in the jungle is highly preferred on Qiyana. If your Jungler comes to gank, make sure you have your River Enchantment ready (by using W on the river) to root the enemy. Qiyana is very good in the early game. Try to get a lead so you become harder to deal with in team fights.
