Why is Quinn never played bot?

In all the games I've played, I've rarely seen Quinn, and when I do she's always either top or jungle. Her blind and passive lets her out-trade most marksmen in the early levels, so I'm wondering why nobody ever seems to play her botlane. I've heard she's garbage bot lane, but I don't see how.

There's a lot of different factors. Quinn's playstyle is very all in and she's treated kinda like an assassin marksmen that gives map pressure with her ultimate. Put her bot lane and she can't utilize her full potential since the support can't roam with her (and duo lanes lack the XP you'd get in solo lanes) and when compared to other ADCs her damage is kinda meh. Its like playing bard support but with literally no reason to roam when you're designed to roam.

Her low range makes it harder to play here there compared to other roles, and her ult isn't as useful there. Be that as it may, she does work well there is you put in the time to learn the champion well

-- Quinn ADC main since mid-season 4

Gets countered by long range and is not safe later to be the main DPS. Jayce is similar, he can win any lane bot, but iyou can't rely on him for taking towers or DPS.

Trash scalings for an adc, terrible AS steroid and low range cause her to be dumped into top lane as a relatively mediocre roaming lane bully.

trash scaling's? lmao do you know how much dmg her passive does once u build crit her scaling aren't bad at all

only reason no one plays her bot is because there are better ADC that can just do a lot more then her right now

She's really good for certain matchups bot lane. Mostly short ranged ADCs like Vayne and Draven.

She used to be my go-to ADC because her ult let her assassinate other ADCs super quickly, but her new ult's 100% about roaming so when you hit level 6 you don't have a power spike.

Quinn bot is incredibly annoying to deal with has a low mobility adc

low range ult has no use in bot lane, mostly would be used to get back to lane fast, a roaming ult isn't good for an adc. has to dive an adc and assumably support up into a full team to get most damage output, and usually dies from cc.

Short range, no cc, no waveclear.

Q and Static shiv beg to differ on that

item 3087 doesn't actually just clear a wave on its own, it just helps. Quinn's Q is can be blocked therefore can only hit 2~3 melee minions.

Statikk still helps with her waveclear. Q is a small aoe and can help with clearing back minions. And just because her Q can be blocked by minions doesn’t mean it’s not CC.
