If so, thank you based Rito. So will Demacia's Wings be getting a simple gameplay update, or a visual upgrade too? (inb4 by the book tweaks to numbers)

If i remember correctly, Quinn/Valor were one of the champions whom were rushed out and seemed unfinished and only saw minor updates before being left behind so as to move on to the next champion (the impression those who still cared were left with - also Riot themselves admitted to this). I'm hoping this isn't just a small update to numbers, but also don't want her to lose her identity. Imo, things to keep/work around -

  1. Vault - gotta keep that signature kickflip
  2. Birdmode/predator theme - before Kindred, there was another markswoman besides Vayne capable of jungling and dueling
  3. Fix clunky autos - also never was a fan of the stump of a crossbow, but that's just me
  4. Armored archer look kept - could lose some of the trying-too-hard-to-look-like-a-bird feathery aesthetic (much preferred the more subtle hooded design in the original melee concept - see attached)

Am still curious about her initial concept as Demacia's crimefighting duo (assuming she was like Batman/Birdman?) and melee assassin "Falconer" incarnations which never got past the design phase according to previous mentions before they settled on the more ranger-oriented take. Hope she's still playable as an assassin/duelist/fighter whether that be top/jg/or bot lane. Looking forward to hearing about this more.

Side note - suggested an idea back on the old forums playing around her ult with more frequent use of Tag-Team/Valor and utilising a counter to prime Skystrike. [UPDATED!!]

Edit - Some more info on her rushed development (particularly on the art side). Is this their chance to really make up for it since her initial release? Here's hoping. http://www.surrenderat20.net/2013/05/ironstylus-talks-quinns-design-and.html http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=3481674

Cool and all, but she was released after Lulu. Riot's VU priority is supposedly everyone before that period. She's well off visually, but a GP update would be nice

I don't see her crossbow in this picture. Are they making her an assassin couple with Valor? Looks like it from here.

Warwick still rots...

They can't get rid of her crossbow. Its in her iconography and would require several model changed including skins she just got this summer. She's still going to be ranged.

I think she is in the Juggernauts-style rework section. Probably not a full Gameplay or Visual update, but enough to be considered some form of rework.
