Am I the only one that hates the new Quinn ultimate?

Let's start with the superficial: It looks ridiculous. While the old ultimate had you glide cooly across the map as Valor, the new ultimate has a small bird awkwardly pick up an entire grown woman (who even moreso awkwardly just hangs there motionless). It looks so stupid and cartoonish I can't even take her seriously anymore.

Beyond that, let's get into the real problems. Her only engage/gap closer requires her to go into combat or to at least pass through some form of damage, but any and all damage knocks her out of ult? Also what happened to her assassination capabilities? She used to be so fun, being able to play in a versatile way as either a ranged carry or a mobile assassin. That's why they call it TAG TEAM, because you work together with Valor. That's why they're called Quinn and VALOR. Now, valor is nothing more than a taxi, and Quinn mains everywhere are upset. I know Riot said they didn't want to fix this, but everyone who liked to play Quinn before DOES want them to fix this. I see threads all over the place about how awkward and awful the new Quinn is. Only people who didn't play her much before think she's "in a good place now". I have level 5 mastery for Quinn on 3 accounts, and I have to say, she has been utterly nerfed and ruined for me. No amount of quality of life changes or damage buffs will fix her at the moment.

Edit: all I can say is, I really hope they bring back the old, fun, unique ultimate. Or at the very least, I hope they release a champ with the same feel as Valor.. Otherwise, I'm heavily considering moving onto other games, because I'm going to miss that play-style a lot.

Her new ult does look pretty dumb. The old one looked cool with valor quickly slashing at the enemy.

Valor used to look elegant flying around quickly. Now its just really awkward to see.

I miss becoming an assassin upon pressing R and bursting someone (Or team) down. Riot decided to change that so that you no longer position yourself stupidly...But they kept the Skystrike ability that requires you to get somewhat close? Or is it for wave clear? Bird-form is for roaming purposes, that I understand, but the Skystrike seems awkward to keep.

Sure, the ult was mostly used best as an execution tool, but the roam was never anything to laugh at. That combined with blind made you able to have outplay potential for anyone looking to do funny stuff like Master Yi. Now what does she have?

Sure, ulting after a fleeing enemy is okay I guess, but normally, roam potential is useless if you don't have the tools necessary to make sure you don't die from fog of war

are you trying to apply logic to lol, because this ult makes more sense then quinn vanishing then reappearing

After I got fed to the point where I was like 20-1 with Quinn I tried to get a ton of movement speed with her and sold all my items for this:

item 1329 item 3069 item 3800 item 3142 item 3139 item 3742 + Quinn Ult gave me around 2,000 movement speed.

While the ult looks kinda weird,it makes more sense than the old,I mean when she used her old ult,quinn simply jumped into the air and seemingly stayed there for several seconds,for no reason at all.(also she does move a bit during the ult)
