Quinn - TriForce??

MiTsuO Akai·8/21/2016, 3:28:44 PM·1 votes·1,120 views

Someone please explain to me how Quinn was not created to use Triforce. Her Kit just screams TriForce to me. The W which gives movement speed with autos. The vulnerable target after every ability (Triforce added damage after every ability). The attack speed which is CRUCIAL on Quinn. The Movement speed which is also CRUCIAL on Quinn.. The only thing its missing is the crit. I want to build this all the time but since the crit was removed the synergy between the champ and the item don't seem to fit early, or mid game. As a last item it sometimes feels like I could have faired better building something else. I haven't built it in a long time because of these things. Someone please explain this to me WITHOUT BEING RUDE PLEASE!

Most users of TF have some built in on hit effect that benefits from the spellblade passive: Ekko, Vi, Irelia, Jax, etc., as well as some low cooldown ability to consistently proc the effect. Quinn doesn't have either of those. In addition, the item is prohibitively expensive, to such an effect where it would work better on a late game crit Quinn (but in that case you wouldn't want TF anyway)

quinn wants to burst priority targets, not engage in a prolonged trade with them, so items like ghostblade and duskblade are better since they give her flat ad, movement speed, flat pen, attack speed and even an execute.

It's an okay item when you have other items to complement it, but it's also incredibly expensive, and doesn't give her what she needs early like it does for other champions (Jax, Irelia)

I build triforce on pretty much every top laner and even most of my junglers.

The spellblade burst on top of every stat just makes the item so broken. Maybe if they reduced the damage to 50% for ranged champions?

Either way, Quinn building it is perfect because of the bonus burst on top of your auto attacks and broken passive, then you throw in the burst from her Q and her ulting in. She can pretty much 100-0 with 2 items.

Triforce is an item that's great to get early as a first or second item. The best skill that could work with it would be her Q but to get it even remotely close to the 2 second cooldown you would need to invest in a lot of critical strike. Triforce no longer even gives that stat and therefore just makes it an extremely poor pick where she can't use those sheen procs to their fully power. She also quite honestly doesn't need the chasing power.
