I just.
Locked a melee toplaner, got countered by Quinn. So ok, I'll sit behind my tower and wait until she can kill me there since I'll have to give her a quarter of my health bar if I try to CS.
Much fun.

Then your jungler walked up and gave you 3 free kills in a row because the squishy thing overextended?
Then you played a champion that has literally any ability to chase her down and you destroyed her ability to counter-play? Cool story, bro, enjoy her needless nerfs = )
The problem is the synergy in her kit, she get's free extra movement speed, attack speed and passive proc for hiting point and click abilites like Vault, while having the same mechanism on her easy to hit Q, she can literally double and tripple proc you for incredible damage from a very safe distance. Makes engaging on her utterly pointless. By the time you do reach her you'll be dead. I'd have some understand if she took some remote resemblance of skill to make these plays, but she's more or less point and click and get's massively rewarded for it.
Can't wait for the next time I lose a game in champion select because I refuse to main FoTY top cancer. I'll be so fun to sit under my tower until she pushes it down or kills me under it because I've been starved from not being able to do anything. Yaaay!
Also can't wait for the slap on the wrist that will do absolutely nothing to curb her oppressiveness since it doesn't derive from cooldowns or numbers but from broken mechanisms.
I honestly believe she would be perfectly balanced if she didn't get the free AS/MS passive from Heightened Senses, then she would actually have windows of weakness.
Quinn is OP (not quite broken, but OP for sure) and I find it funny elitists are coming here and acting like she has tons of counter play. She has very little counter play in top lane and is basically a giant walking counter pick to many popular toplane champs. Her only weakness is the simple fact that tank tops are considered the new master race right now (notice how the meta changes every week now?) and she's dropping in a play a bit from it. She is also a little harder than the typical top laner, so maybe just hope your opponent is a noob?
Wanna know the best counter I've found to Quinn top? Malphite.... no shit, you just build armor not health. Her passive procs are based on health. Once I got my chain vest, ninja tabi and another cloth, she literally couldn't stop me from farming. Sure I couldn't kill her, but farming was fucking easy pretty early. Yes top lane Quinn sucks fucking balls (I have seen it in nearly every game since she went f2p this last week), but a good way to go against her also is a top lane syndra, yes the queen of balls shuts down the bird bitch. It takes an understanding team to do it, but if you swap up the mid/top champs and build a slightly tanky syndra it's really hilarious what happens to her (spoiler, balls hurt more than birds)
