Changing Quinn

Quinn's a pretty non-traditional ADC. She doesn't have tons of mobility for escaping and running away, not the best in burst damage, and does okish damage compared to other ADCs. What she does have however, is a whole lot of other utility to help enhance her survival as a fragile marksman that no other ADC has, including being a Jack of All Trades ADC.

So, I was wondering if a change to Quinn's ult would be a good idea.

Uses for Quinn's Ult

  • Enables her to run away from bad situations -Catches up to the enemy team -Ganking, Faster time to get from Point A to Point B -1v1 dueling -Assassination with in teamfights -Cleaning up teamfights -Splitpushing

And that's pretty much it. Most people don't like this Ult because it's a big trade-off: Gain huge amounts of mobility and attack speed but consequentially lose burst, range, and safety. It makes a lot more decisions than most traditional ults. I think it's a really good ult, and the tradeoff is worth it, but I feel that it can be a lot more better to make her a better marksman.

Why not make her ult so that she is able to freely transform from Quinn to Valor and vice-versa for the duration of the ult? She'd have a whole ton a lot of mobility in a fight, and a lot more potential in teamfights then a one time ult. Of course something else would have to be compensated, (For example: Less MS when in Valor form, or make her not too oppressive to melees top lane: Removing her slow on her E, changing her blind so that it's terrible when travelled at low range, but a lot more longer duration at long range, like nidalee's spear) but I think it'd be a good way to help her on being a better ADC and making good use of her ult in teamfights.

It also makes sense thematically, Quinn tags-in with Valor to make the ultimate tag-team combo, changing in and out. (I just don't know where to put Skystrike, I really like that ability)

Any thoughts? I'd really like to see some improvements to my favorite champion in this game :D

(P.S. Fix those bugs Rito)

TL;DR: Change Quinn's ult so that Quinn can freely change into Valor and Viceversa for the duration of the ult. Also remove some other stuff that makes her un-fun against melees

Nah.

Pretty much keep it as-is, fix bugs and lower CD on E to make Trinity Force more commonly purchased.

Quinn's Assassination potential is godly with BT and TriForce backed up by Last Whisper and IE then either Randuin's Omen or Banshee's Veil (trust me, you want the HP from either of these items not a gimmicky revive).
