Why did they change Quinn in the first place? REVERT HER ULT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL FORM!

So I've been slowly getting back into league of legends and today I played an aram and got quinn...

Now I remember the old days of Quinn, when her ult wasn't completely useless, the whole dynamic and vision behind the character is ruined with her changes.

Quinn is effectively one of the worst characters in the game and now looking back I see no reason for them to utterly destroy this character. In the past the reason I've had a love hate relationship League, and honestly the reason I quit the game for the better part of 2 years, is due to Riot's ignorance when it comes to certain champions and just leaving them as worthless pixels due to them being extremely underwhelming in game. Now I can say finally with the Mage's rework and the Assassin's update they have made leaps and bounds into making League an enjoyable game again.

The Quinn change was pointless and I'm sad to see a once fun and dynamic character get ruined by a dumb decision.

Now the reason why I'm so butthurt is her ult was perfect before and now it's just a glorified version of ghost, which mechanically is worse than ghost in many ways. First off it has a 2 second charge up time which makes it completely useless for escapes. Second it costs mana for an ability with a 3 second cooldown on an already mana hungry champion. Third an amount of attacking or damage recieved makes the ult useless during fights ruining any chance of the shortests range adc being able to kite.

They should honestly just revert her ult back to its original state because it was actually fun, good, and dynamic. It defined her as a character allowing her to fill niche roles in a team instead of being streamlined into the META game...

TL;DR - Quinn ult is effectively useless and should be reverted to Valor with the abilites changing while in that form because she is not only a better character but a more fun one. Pretty sure she is among one of the least played champs aswell...

What? A 0 mana speedup that can get you back to lane as fast as a teleport is useless?

Quinn is an interesting champion in my opinion. She is kind of like Pantheon, she buillies most top laners hard, mana is her biggest weakness, her main goal is to snowball lane and roam, and she can burst down squishies pretty quickly. I mean Quinn in Aram would undoubtedly suck, but I think she flies under the radar in terms of usefulness on Summoners Rift. She is one of the few champs that can win other lanes for her team rather easily. Not only that but she can then return to her lane to save her tower super fast too. She creates so much map pressure just from existing. Now I'm not saying she's that great, but I think she does fill a niche rather well, and if her playrate was higher, people would hate her just as much as pantheon I think.

It took me a while to get used to, but I prefer her new ult. I miss the instagib, but the new roam is so good.

Also yes, Quinn is terrible on ARAM. I played her in Poro King for the past two weeks and got my ass kicked most of the time. Then again, most assassins and "avoid-strength/attack weakness" type champs are lackluster on Howling Abyss (an attrition-based gamemode).

She is definitely not useless, she just takes time to learn and requires a strategic approach.
