Forget her being an ADC, I hope Riot makes Quinn a Ranged Assassin Top/Jungler

thats a lot more fair to fight against and a lot more exciting and interesting to play as

sure they could just make her a better adc but thats boring. We already have like 16 of those.

I was mainly talking about a Quinn that doesn't have a Blind and a on click back away interrupt.

So you're talking about a champion that isn't Quinn, then.

Also I've been playing top lane Quinn for ages. It is great fun.

Late game quinn top is more of a liability than a help.

That's one less initiator for your team, and one more squishy for the enemy to burst down to nothing.

KougaFeb 16, 20151 votes

I usually only run her if we have a beefier jungle with initiation rather than a Kill jungle, so the added damage doesn't hurt. And she can shut down the majority of popular tops so it also helps eliminate what could have been a big threat (nothing like a fed top Riven to stomp through your entire frontline)

I mean, does it always work, no. I lose with it, too. But overall I find it a very satisfying top lane pick. Once I've shoved their top pick away I can usually push down the tower fast and then I just roam with my ult and set up ganks.

... Why?

Quinn as a top laner is widely disliked, both by top lane players and Quinn mains. Quinn top only exists to shut down melee laners, and has absolutely no lategame effectiveness, whether you build full assassin or bruiser.

Quinn has never seen significant play in the jungle and reworking her or buffing her to make her a jungler would not only be a lot of pointless work but would also likely be both startling to her playerbase and annoying to all other players (quite like Jungle Nidalee, but Nid has thematic reasons to be there)

Quinn's ideal lane/role is as an Assassin in either bot or mid. She currently functions in that role quite well. She certainly does need some changes right now, but she doesn't need anything that would change her lane/role identity.

So agree on this. I main ADC Quinn, and she brings something totally different to the table. She's an off-meta ADC. Of course she does damage, but she does damage and utility in a really unique way. People just dont like her cause it doesn't fit the meta of just the do tons of damage adc. Everything I wanna say is in that last paragraph.

we have 123 viable junglers, 6-7 tournament viable junglers, but that shouldnt matter to the average player since well they are two completely different games.

Good luck with that jungle Soraka or jungle Janna.

Sure, because Riot is so good at balancing Assassins, which we already have enough of and even some non-assassins that play just like an assassin who also have been problematic.

No thanks.
