What reason?

How come no proplayers going on Quinn anymore, was it because of those nerfs? Is she not meta anymore? She is stlil the best split pusher and minion clearer in the game right?

Part because of the nerfs, part because more people picked up tanks top lane, and part because pros rarely did well with her, so they dropped her.

And no to both of those statements on Quinn

That's weird because all games I watched people tend to use her as a split pusher.

She can be a splitpusher, but she is far from the best

That's really the strength because she split push and be present for fights much easier than most other top laners. Not to mention, her wave clear is ok but it's still a lot of single target clear.

It's kind of going back to more tank heavy top meta. Quinn, while can bully a tank, brings much less to team fights than most tanks.

so she a good wave clearer? Any reason why she not being a pick in playoff?

She's only ok at wave clear. It's not her strength. Part of the thing to keep in mind is that generally teams don't pick top Laners for wave clear. Yes it helps but it's much more common to see top laners with hard engage or with really strong split push. It just so happens that because of the strength of tank top laners right now, Quinn doesn't out split push the tanks like Poppy, Trundle, Nautilus or even Gragas (as we've been seeing that top lane). If into a carry split pusher like Jax or Fiora, after a half hour into the game, those champs will out push Quinn.

another thing...you have to think about what teams are playing and what they are going for. TSM, TL, NRG and C9 all generally try to build team fight comps or throw their top laners on tanks. EU top lane is pretty much all about the tanks right now...even Cabochard (the premiere carry top laner in EU right) is playing tanks.

Odds are we will see IMT or CLG play some carry top laners, might see the Quinn out of Huni. Who knows...

interesting, so what is your opinion on why huni lost to fiora top darshan? What could have he done to beat fiora?

Honestly, Huni got camped hard by Udyr, who kinda preys off of stunning ADCs. I wouldn't expect Udyr from Xmithie anytime soon again, I guess it could happen but I doubt it. If Xmithie doesn't camp for Darshan, Huni wins the lane (this was before the Quinn nerfs keep in mind).

So Huni could have easily dominated the Fiora if what happened instead? If Fiora didn't get those 2 kills?

Do you think Huni did fine against Fiora, did he go toe to toe with Fiora that game? Did he do good?
