What if Valor became an item courier for Quinn?

He would function like a separate unit that could travel back and forth to fountain for items, maybe even flask refills depending on how it's coded. Quinn's team gains vision of him when he travels and he also has a lifebar in case enemies intercepted him; they could kill him...I guess. Not sure what would happens to any items he carries though. Trade off is that none of Quinn's abilities or passive would work while she sent Valor off--but then again, this would mean replacing a skill (W active)

On that note, we also don't have a champion whose pet can help carry additional items :-!

I'm all for replacing her W with a non-combat utility pet that you can command to move.

well while change is innovative (totaly not ripped off ever other moba ... but we dont have that in lol)

i think that quinn is a case of aatrox her kit does not convey her theme corectly (in case of aatrox its parialy that and partialy the fact that his kit conveys his theme in a toxic way)

she is like a scout ... and in game she is a freak who simply fights with a crossbow and a hawk

Well, putting aside how nearly impossible it would be for Riot to implement this in their current game engine,

I see no reason why this would need to happen

Does Quinn need this? Does Quinn have some issue that this solves? Why Quinn and not, say, Elise? Malzahar? Anyone else who has pets? You don't make changes to a champion because "wouldn't it be cool if?" you make a change because the champion has a problem that you want to fix. Does Quinn have problems? Yes. Does turning Valor into a non-combat pet solve any of those problems? Not at all.

Yes I do believe it helps her out. Thematically, it would also make more sense if she didn't disappear during ult and instead valor appeared to attack the same target as her.

Unlike Elise, malz and other pet champions I can think of, Valor makes the most sense to have a courier. That goes for her theme and also the fact that she has a slightly utility-focused kit as it is.

Do you have any suggestions?

She's not utility focused at all, she's an assassin. Valor makes the most sense as a mobility steroid, not as a petty non-combat pet.

What specific problem does Quinn's kit have that changing Valor into a weak pet with courier abilities provide? I can only see it making her weaker considering it would A) have to replace her current ult and B) make her Q, Passive, and W inaccessible while its active.

I said Tag Team should bring Valor in to attack with Quinn. That's an unstoppable form of dps, even while Quinn is locked down. I said nothing about replacing her passive, Harrier.

She doesn't have the damage to be an assassin either.

AnonagonJun 21, 20151 votes

Do you even play Quinn? I'm beginning to seriously question that. Because if you did play Quinn, you would realize she plays EXACTLY like an assassin, and easily has the damage to match it.

As for your idea, I don't care exactly how it would work. It doesn't matter to me because it doesn't address any of the problems Quinn currently has.

I asked how you would fix her and you didn't answer that, you instead bought this downvote war was cute.

AnonagonJun 21, 20151 votes

How I would fix her? Tell me again, whose thread is this?

If I were going to tell you what Quinn needs, I would make my own thread.
