@Riot Thank you for the Quinn fix!

I played a game as Quinn adc (with Leona support; the lane is actually really fun! Try it!) the other night and I just wanted to say THANK YOU Riot for giving her a little love. Quinn's my favorite champ, hands down, and it makes me happy to see her finally getting some of the quirks smoothed out in her kit. Also, the AA reset on her E is nice. :D

I'm prepared to beg you not to leave it at that. I'm thrilled that she got a bug fix, but she still has a lot of strange interactions and bugs. Here are a few that it'd be fantastic if you could address.

  • Her vault It still sends her in strange directions. On patch 5.4 or 5.5, I was playing her in ARAM. I vaulted off of an Amumu as he was Q-ing a teammate. Instead of landing back in the same direction I vaulted from, my vault pattern formed a ~110 degree angle, and sent me toward the enemy base.

I've heard a couple of replies to this. It's intentional. It's been fixed already. Or some combination. The fact remains: it's unreliable. It's an escape that is brimming with the potential to get you killed. THAT'S NOT A HEALTHY MECHANIC!

  • Her Q. There's the thing where it doesn't blind the first AA after it hits, but I've heard (and I'm hoping!) that this will be fixed in 5.7.

The thing that really concerns me, is that I'm pretty sure I blinded myself in my game the other night. Again, this was post-5.6. I was under turret in bot lane, farming in Quinn form. I threw out my Q, and tried to AA the canon minion . . . and missed. >.< Again, even if this is intended, you need to tell us when to expect it, and how to avoid it. If I want to gamble, I'll play Twisted Fate. Don't give me random effects on the skill shots I hit.

  • Her AA animation. I'm not the best ADC, but I'm trying to get better, especially at stutter-stepping between my AA's. Quinn's animation makes this really difficult. It's just . . . really sad, to accidentally cancel the damage on an empowered auto. And, it happens A LOT. More than with other champions. Enough that even I, who suck at these mechanics, can see what's happening, and that it's not supposed to. It'd be lovely if these could be cleaned up a bit. :D

  • A few other QoL's (or, Enkidu's Wishlist) A passive for Valor (preferably sustain or survivability; maybe some armor pen), Separate cds for Quinn and Valor, Something a little more effective on Sky Strike, and Let Sky Strike go off when Valor dies, too.

Obviously, don't add any of these until you take care of her bugs. ;)

Riot, if you want to just throw us a bone, that's fine. We will gnaw on it till Judgment Day, playing Quinn Bot, Mid, Top, and Jungle, risking reports and life-threatening bugs. Because Quinn is just that fun.

But if you want to make a buck? Consider this. Quinn's fanboys are some of the most dedicated, patient people in your community. We are what Urgot would have if he was pretty and turned into a bird. And if you give Quinn some bug fixes in addition to releasing a new skin? Man, I will create accounts just to buy her and that skin, with RP, just to say thank you. And I don't think I'm the only one who feels that way.

TL;DR: I love you for fixing Quinn a little bit, but the job's not over, and I will love you so much more if you don't give up on her, or rest on your laurels, or whatever. Thanks!

Quinn/Leona is one of the best pair ups ever.

And about the blind fixes, they are still working on that. It was planned on coming out in 5.6, but they hadn't tested to make sure it worked with everything, so they didn't put it in. They had to redo some tech with how AAs are calculated

Good for you guys! I always felt that Quinn lacks something.

I know one thing they haven't fixed.... since maybe because this was never reported, did you know in both forms, you can ult mid E.

If you are valor and your ult mid e, your passive never procs, I'm sad because I like using this combo for amazing burst.

Just saying if your going to try this, what you should expect, When quinn obviously you don't jump off, and if valor, you should jump off

Thank you for fixing Quinn too!

Its a lot easier to wall jump now! There is so much for jumping potential both with the jungle monsters and the champions themselves! I'm glad to hear there are more bug fixes coming :D

I honestly think quinn has enough damage. She can easily 0-100 squishies with double passive procs (blind, passive proc, e gives passive reset, valor, execute...and all that might not even be necessary). Separate timers for valor might be awesome, but at that point it becomes too easy to mash buttons and get kills. I like that I have to actually think and make the decision to engage with Quinn or with valor. I think continued bug fixes will be enough to get her into a good spot.

I feel like Skystrike hurts a little too much for it to go off anyway if they manage to kill Valor.
