R.I.P. Quinn

Preseason 2016 crests the horizon!

Tag Team (R) has been heavily repurposed into a strategic map mobility tool: Tag Team's visuals have been changed from Quinn leaving the game space to Valor flying Quinn around beneath her. Tag Team now has a 2-second channel at its start, and no longer has combat spells or basic attacks. Tag Team now has no cooldown, and its Movement Speed bonus is now very dramatic. Skystrike has been retained, but deals less damage and does not deal increased damage based on targets' missing Health.

Being a dual champion with two distinct playstyle, while poorly done at the time, was actually part of her kit and indentity as a whole. Now Valor is just a cheap taxi, and they both look akward doing that. The final nail on the coffin is just the Q change, transformed into Yet Another Generix Random Skill for wave clear and poke.

Quinn is now so generic she could totally use a new classic skin where she's a secret agent and with the animation for her new ultimate being a rope ladder hanging from a helicopter. There's nothing in her kit that remind of a falconer.

I had great hopes for you Quinn. Now, I'll just shelve you aside Mordekaiser and weep at the good memories we had from past time.

NB : Brace yourself Nidalee mains. In the dire case of a potential rework, you know you're screw.

I agree tho. I was super happy with Quinn, so little trouble. Then Riot comes and whisks away melee. I wanted a Quinn Change, but not like this... I was hoping for double form, because I am a proud Quinn jg.

I disagree on the generic part. You forgot to mention that her new R has no cooldown. this is basically a free, repeatable teleport. Rek'sai can't hold a candle to this. Also i applaud the fact that they are focusing on the "scout" part of her identity. with her increased speed she can increase her team's map awareness and map presence to an absurd degree.

The funny thing is this post is a generic-complain-oh no my main is gone now fuck you riot destroy my main-post. Seriously, try the champ before you talk.

Noone plays Quinn now and when someone picks her, she is useless after laning...

New Valor = Hero of the Storm's rides!!?? Personally, I think that goes back to when the Quinn Rework work from the beginning. Some changes (deleted cool valor, Q passive, passive-coefficients change, etc.), but not bad.

About Nidalee, i dont see anything wrong with her rework, pre-rework her human form was too reliable than her cougar form, the rework was good because it gave the balanced between her human and cougar form

You missed the point entirely. I said that this rework, in it's current state, is as shocking as reworking Nidalee into a strictly non-transformative kit (or Jayce if you like). I never said that actually happened and wasn't referencing any actual rework (she still have her cougar form).

her current "unique" play style is the thing that make her un-reliable

No. What makes her unreliable is the awful buggy state in which she's. Countless cases of blind or harrier bugs have been reported, and we're still waiting for a fix. Any fix.

What is especially frightening is that Repertoir has proven that he have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUES about why Quinn is currently in a bad state. http://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gameplay-feedback/PE1LJTOM-quinn-pbe-feedback-thread?comment=0010 Reading this is absolutely terrific and a testimony that he has no insight on what the big deal is with Quinn.
