Quinn in the new patch

Anamithim·Nov 12, 2015·5 votes·465 views

I know nobody really plays Quinn so I'm guessing nobody has really noticed yet but she's my main so I have. Riot has destroyed her ultimate! It's basically useless now. She used to turn into Valor and was able to melee for a period of time, speed boost, ect. Well now it's ONLY for a speed boost and if you attack or are attacked the ultimate ends! And there is a 2 second cast time now. Her ULT is useless! I'm so disappointed I'm thinking about quitting, babyish I know but she was my main and she's useless now. Why make her so much worse?? She wasn't the best to begin with haha, I just really liked playing her.

Let forget the fact that it cooldown is 3 seconds and you can stay in the form as long as you are not in battle.

Let forget the fact that you can ult across the map in a few seconds, attack kill, then ult again to go to another part of the map.

Let forget that you can easily catch up to anyone in the game now.

Yes...let just focus on the fact that you can't melee anymore...oh the horror.

You obviously don't play Quinn so you have no idea how much they stripped away from her in order to give her an ultimate with no cooldown. Her early game power is greatly reduced. Stripped of her damage and her blind, she has practically no dueling ability anymore. Her range is still anemic, her "escape" is still wonky, unreliable and easy to counter. It doesn't matter if you are the "firefighter" if you show up with a squirt gun. In the mid game, she can move around the map easier, but once late game arrives, the cooldown was irrelevant anyways: even moreso now that the new Essence Reaver is in the game and there are more ways to get CDR now for ADCs elsewhere too. With old Quinn, at end game and long spawn timers, by the time either you or the enemy team respawns, it was up again.

It's funny how they say she was too unsafe to see success in the bottom lane, so they up and remove her blind, her early game damage the playmaking component of her ultimate.

Play her mid, get ult, roam everywhere, all the time. You are jungler 2.0. Ult lets you farm and shove waves in a moment, then ult to the next objective. Last two games I've had 50% more CS than anyone else on either team, and was the first to hit 18 (in the first I was the only one above level 16). Dancing around fights with 40% CDR Vault is actually hella fun, and the massive CDR helps make up for only having two damaging spells (and you can also scout a lot more with W).
