Quinn should be flagged as an Assassin secondary Marksman, not a Marksman secondary Fighter

Fighters tend to deal sustained damage. Quinn is better at staying mobile and dealing short bursts of high damage (which is why she is poor at most bot lanes but works decently at top and against some mid lanes), hunting down targets, and Valor just deletes squishes from the map if they make mistakes.

She really isn't sustained ranged damage at all. Her damage potential is locked away in her E's cooldown and she offers minor utility that only helps with dueling. She doesn't have things in her kit that a marksman would like, but she does have amazing assassin mechanics.

She does no offer any assassination pattern? she deals consistent dmg over the encounter...if you want her as an assassin then corki would be an assassin to due to his burstspikes.

As much as I like Quinn's somewhat unique tags, assassin is a much better fit for her than fighter. Quinn's original design was even a melee assassin who slowly turned into a ranged ADC.

100% agree. Quinn has been my most favorite adc since her release and I'm always wondering the same thing. Ive unfairly blown so many people up its ridiculous. Fighter doesn't suit her one bit imo.

Even with the "soon"-to-come classes update, I wouldn't even put her in the marksman category due to how her kit works. I would call her an Assassin or even a Skirmisher if people want to point out her lack of reliant escapes (does the speed boost from passive and blind count as defensive tools?).
