Why did you do that to my Quinn???

Abysalys·Jan 26, 2016·2 votes·1,094 views

I came back from a break (not having internet or a pc really limits your playtime lol) and I auto selected Quinn as my go to win lane chick. When I had realized what they had done to the ult, I was just horrified. I hate her now, I don't even play her because she is just garbage in lane. Not only is her auto shorter then Vayne's but they took her hyper carry aspect away. A channel cast are you serious?!? It takes forever and any sort of damage knocks you out of it is complete horse dookie. I hate her remake and everything about it. I like the visual now that her and Valor are together, but what they did to the ult in terms of how she is played is terrible. She was my favorite. My main. My go to Adc. Now she sits on the backburner never to be played again....

You missed the part where she had 3 of the top 5 winrates a few patches ago.

Honest question, did it occur to you in any way to try to adapt your playstyle? Did you read on the harrier change or find out the triple proc? Did you try using the ult for its intended purpose or did you repeatedly use it like her old ult and wonder why it was useless? Did you watch any videos or look up any guides to see how to use the new kit? Did you actually change what you were doing or was it easier to complain? Furthermore, why did you queue up after a 3 month break without checking to see if your champions or the game in general had any important changes?

Also, Quinn belongs to Riot, not you.

I'm not going to justify myself to you. It was my opinion and I'm allowed to voice it.

Secondly, you are not very friendly. Therefor I will not respond to you anymore considering your negative blatant attack. Troll.

And this is my opinion and I'm allowed to voice it. If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

Nobody here has an obligation to be friendly to you. You put your opinion out there and this is what you get.

Given your response I'm going to guess the answer to all of my questions is no. The truth is Quinn got massively buffed and is universally a stronger pick after these changes.

I agree Little Mac is OP as hell lol :P

Heh I actually made the name as a joke. I don't even play little mac, I prefer aerial stuff.

Her auto was always shorter than Vayne. Quite amazing that she was your "go to ADC" but you missed this fact. Also, lol at your response. "GASP Facts, I'll just ignore him and call him a troll."

KaminoXJan 26, 20163 votes

as for Quinn..she is still Very op and annoying to play against.

Sightless66Jan 26, 20163 votes

I don't even play her because she is just garbage in lane.

Not even close to true. The new blind effect on her Q is miserable to lane against and she's just as capable of bullying as ever, not to mention how many more passive procs she can get now. If you're looking to win lanes, you have just as much potential to do that as ever.

they took her hyper carry aspect away

She wasn't a hyper carry. She played as a split pusher and an assassin. Now she can still do that, but with a higher focus on map mobility.

It takes forever and any sort of damage knocks you out of it is complete horse dookie.

You've been gone for a while so it's understandable that you wouldn't know this, but Quinn's ult contributed heavily to making her the single most overpowered character after her rework. It's actually nuts when you know how to use it properly. She's still extremely strong. You don't have to enjoy her new kit, and it's fine if you don't, but she is objectively a powerful champion right now and you should recognize that.

I'd recommend you give the new kit an honest chance. If you still don't like it, that's fine, but give it a chance to work on its own merits instead of just hating it because it is different from the old one.

Err...she kinda was a hyper carry. But she still is now

BladeSteelJan 26, 20161 votes

She actually wasn't a hyper carry. Like the person said above she was a split pusher and an assassin. She fell off super hard late game. Did NOT do as much damage.

ModWulf HelhammerJan 26, 20161 votes

Then you never played Quinn enough to know much of a hyper carry she could be. Maybe if you built GB and BoRK, yeah, as those items spike in mid game. The way I built her was IE, SS, greaves, Vamp, LW, BT, and then usually a defensive. You dealt a ton of damage, and could easily take games.

This wasn't a mid or top lane Quinn, this was bot ADC Quinn.

BladeSteelJan 26, 20161 votes

And yet anyone who gets fed can be a "hypercarry" Quinn is NOT a hypercarry sorry. She does not fit the definition of one. she can carry yes, but she isn't a hypercarry.

ModWulf HelhammerJan 26, 20161 votes

No, that's just someone carrying.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a hyper carry is someone who scales well into late game, able to take out most any target thrown at them if you have the proper positioning/peeling/skill

BladeSteelJan 27, 20161 votes

A hypercarry is someone who excels in lategame teamfight, which the old quinn couldn't really do. Old quinn could 1v1 almost anyone, but 1v1ing someone isn't the same as a hypercarry, thats more of a dueler/assassin. There are really only 4 hypercarries, twitch, jinx, vayne, and kogmaw. Someone carrying the game is different from a hypercarry. All of those will deal more damage than a quinn, and some can do it to the entire team at once. read this. http://www.team-dignitas.net/articles/blogs/League-of-Legends/6793/hypercarries-misconceptions-and-reality

Her Jungling is amazing and scary now since her Q stuns the jungle camps and she can fly into a lane at 800 movement speed thanks to that ult that only on a 3 second cooldown.

DíckWallaceJan 26, 20162 votes

I think you should give her another try. Her ult is essentially a mount and you can get around the map super fast. I can't tell you how many kills I've gotten chasing down fleeing low hp enemies. You can E out of ult and catch anyone. Your Q and E both apply harrier now. You Q>auto>E>auto and if harrier was passively applied to begin with that's three procs within seconds. Don't even get me started with the new Rapid Fire Canon. You'll get the hang of her. Just play around with her in some customs and experiment with her combos and get a fee l for her ult.

If you are going crit build, SS is better

She's so good now.... Her burst is amazing.

XrusaJan 26, 20161 votes

Quinn's champion update was probably one of the most beneficial ones ever.

ModWulf HelhammerJan 26, 20162 votes

Until we got the blind, it wasn't really. Now, it's in a good place

XrusaJan 26, 20161 votes

Yeah you right, I was kinda just saying the state she reached after the balancing of the update.

filthy quinn player

ModWulf HelhammerJan 26, 20161 votes

If you are having trouble with Quinn, try this: Rush ER, Greaves, SS, then get a vamp scepter, IE, life steal of choice (BT preferred, can be switched for mercurial if you need the QSS), and then finish with a situational last item.
