Quinn's animations are slow

I know this can be unpopular due to the fact that she is not really underperforming in terms of stats but I realised that while Quinn doesn't have any glaring lacking in burst or sustained damage, she falls dramatically behind any other assassin in terms of combo execution time. Most assassins can blink in, burst and blink out in the same time that she needs to just land her E (which does not protect her from skillshots and aoe either while being interruptible). I know she's ranged and I'm mostly comparing her to melee champions but I don't think she's any safer than any of them, with the nerfs to the ranged toplane meta she's going to lose her place in the game.

Quinn is one of those champions that when viable, either take over the game or are simply cancerous to play against. other example include Kalista, (Old, and probs also new) Akali and old Evelynn.

I repeat: under no circumstance should that champ ever be viable here's why:

if she plays top, she wins lane against anything that isn't another ranged bully. if played bot, she will always win against the enemy carry (reduced vision from Q is too powerful) Mid? she's ranged, most assassins are melee. she will bully them and proceed to roam.

once she gets the lead (and she WILL get it if viable) she becomes a nuclear missile roaming the map, one-shotting anyone willing to stray to far.

as for the original question: Quinn's animations are so slow because she is an old champion, and for most of her existence, was left unviable because of the aforementioned reasons.

How in the hell would she lose her place in the game if she's played top and other assassins are played mid?

Nothing changed for Quinn in like 3+ seasons. She's still performing unreasonably well top lane.

It wasnt too long ago that some assassins got a bunch of reworks to delay their damage and extend that combo execution time. Quinn doesnt need to be like the other assassins. Other assassins need to be like quinn.
