Kept an open mind for the new Quinn...but her new kit is more jumbled than it's ever been.

It's amusing to fly around the map really fast, but then what do you do when you get there? You can't 1v1 anyone, you can't assassinate anyone, you can't split push (wave clear is good, but no more escape). To add insult to injury she's still in the EXACT same place when it comes to team fights. I take that back, she's slightly worse. Used to have a blind to take some damage off teammates, or could blow up a squishy who took one step too far from rest of their team. If Riot is intent on changing her into a champion with all the map presence (something Quinn players cared for least of all the things they removed from her btw), then she needs another rework. Keeping the rest of her abilities for fans' sake is not really a valid reason considering her identity was gutted. Might as well REALLY rework her to fit that new identity, instead of the Frankenstein monster we have now. (Or revert the changes :D love you forever Riot! xoxoxoxo).

I'm salty my Quinn is gone. Appreciate that Riot keep League fresh with constant updates, but I've never been so disappointed with their attitude towards pushing these changes despite Quinn fans' feedback. While it's true most hadn't had a chance to try her yet, an emotional response is just as valid as a logical one. We're not robots. I play this game for emotional reasons. I play certain characters because they FEEL right when I play them, or even just because there's some kind of emotional connection I have with his or her character/design/kit.

Extra salt, used to have an "adc" (Quinn was never really an adc but that's what I liked about her) answer for Vayne, but no longer. Used to love to hate Vayne but now just straight up hate her.

Riot tries to find ways to make champions appeal to a wider audience. Which inevitably alienates their small (but religious) fan base.

Honestly, Her power just comes from creating an uneven fight. Cause that's how someone with that level of roam is suppose to work. But if she's having trouble getting to that point, then she would need a stronger Early game.

As an observer, I really can't say what Quins Identity was prior to the rework. You have plenty of Assassin type ADC's, already. If your answer was Close range burst, then Graves would be stepping on her toes. But this current Identity is something interesting, that I can work into different team comps.

Thanks for the level-headed response. I think there could be some potential with certain team comps, and the idea of creating frequent uneven fights isn't something I had put much thought into. I did see that happening in my games, but I guess what I don't like is the champion by herself can't do much. I didn't do much more than scare another lane opponent away while my laning opponent had a chance to catch up or get ahead in farm. Current Quinn doesn't have the burst or sticking power of the old to secure kills. Encouraging team play is good, I support that. However, I miss watching my squishy or low health opponent pop after I E, Q, R them even more.

Her Identity? she was like a Jayce that had a full burst on her melee mode, now she is kinda boring to play and has no dueling potential, also now her quotes do not make sense, she is an easy prey

The only problem with the old Quinn was; she had no real scape or real instant mobility, a few changes and she would have been an LCS champ without ruining her kit and ruining Valor.

well, you just said everything I feel, I hate this new Quinn of Chicken Wings and his Horse-Chicken Valor, whoah a legendary killer eagle that runs away when you splash some water at it.

New Quinn be like: I believe I can fly! but I can't even pass a wall.... an now I can't flee, just come and catch meee, I have no scapes, I am an easy prey

Ashe Splashes some water over Quinn

Valor: see ya Quinn, im not going to get killed, Rito isn't paying me enough, bye bye.

Ashe ult, Quinn has no ult, now the new Quinn is dead.

**Rito be like: ** thats my buffed up girl, we work with ACME industires :D

Please return my eagle-girl Quinn to me!

I can just nod reading all that stuff here. Just tried Quinn after endless games full of fun and I have to say: rest in peace, Quinn :( When she was released I thought we could use one more champ with dual character, like Nidalee or Jayce. To remove the part of her, which made her special makes me sad. She was able to play really badass, but was also not a free-win char. So I never saw a problem with the balance. And if not everyone likes to play her, well... not everyone likes to play evelyn or gnar or... many others, so is that really a point to change her whole concept? I can just beg to riot to undo the changes and bring back good old Quinn!

Yeah, they took away her old strengths, and her new "strengths" don't really seem to do all that much. There's not much point in a carry that can't outdamage anyone.
