Anyone else missing old Quinn yet?

DiveAlive··3 votes·364 views

Updated Quinn is, what it is.. I'm not particularly a huge fan of shifting the majority of her power into out of combat movespeed but I get why it works.

But like, old Quinn was still viable bot lane because at least I had on-demand reliable follow up while in combat.

Example, I'm lvl 6 old Quinn adc in lane farming, my Leo support lands a good zeneath blade, I instantly go bird mode and facedive her target with an E+Q+AA+R(execute), and if they didn't die or we start to lose the trade, at least my blind was guarantied to land so I had reliable form of cc to contribute as well.

Current Quinn just doesn't have that kind of reliable bot lane presence anymore, and I just don't get why Rito pandered to balancing her for top lane instead of bot with her rework.

Current Quinn has a terribly toxic playstyle. After being a dick to whatever poor melee tank she chose to counter top she relegates to afk split pushing/chasing to get KB's after her allies did all the work getting them low.

Guess that's a rant, not sorry, I miss my real Bird girl.

Old Quinn was a lot of fun. The new ult feels pretty lackluster to use.

I do like her reworked passive though.

I agree Quinn doesn't feel as satisfying to play as pre-rework, for a variety of reasons. I don't know that it's due to her being less viable bot lane, though.

Finding a designated lane for Quinn is difficult, because although she was originally conceived as a melee assassin (a class of champions that usually goes mid), she was later designed for the bot lane AD carry role, while also intending to function as a top lane duelist, only to be reworked with mid in mind. To top it all off, her thematic of 'woodsy scout-ranger' is best suited for a jungler character, a position Quinn has historically not been the best at, but finds doable.

So yeah, going off thematics alone, jungle sems to be the best fit -- but players are attached to a variety of other positions for her, so it's a tough decision to make as to whether she should be shoehorned into a particular lane or not.
