The Quinn Re-work (Issues)

As a Quinn main (top and mid) I'm very disappointed.. I loved her mobile assassin playstyle. She was the only champion like it, and it really did make her unique and fun to play. Now she's just another ADC coupled with what someone else in the comments called a "glorified taxi", and it's very true.. The pick and roam potential as Valor is what made Quinn.. well.. "Quinn and Valor".. You could CHOOSE to either play an ADC role, or go into bird mode and play an Assassin Role for a short period. Now her mark is all she has to rely on. Her skystrike is entirely useless. And it seems most people in the comment section of the pre-season spotlight agree with me. Not to mention, and this is only aesthetics, but her ult LOOKS ridiculous now. Quinn just sits there awkwardly hanging as Valor carries her barely above the ground? What was wrong with just valor gliding cooly across the map? They not only had to ruin the playstyle, but the visual? It's so cartoonish. If I play Quinn, I won't be ulting often. If I do, it will only be to get places faster, which is really all her ult is now. It's the "go fast" button. And I really hate that. It seems almost comical to see this bird carrying around little baby Quinn like a stork.

Riot, if any one of your staff members are reading, please fix this version of Quinn. Bring back any aspect of the old Valor assassinations. Let her stay Quinn and Valor to SOME degree. It made her fun. I can honestly say it makes me want to play the game less to see my favorite playstyle be completely removed from the game.

Our only hope is that they recognize how much of a monumental failure the Quinn changes are when they go live that they have to choice but to pull an unprecedented 180 and revert all the changes.

Wouldn't that be a tale for the ages. Riot reverting something that's already gone to the live server

I've been seeing complaints about Quinn all over the forums and youtube comment sections. It seems that complaints are far more prevalent than appraisal regarding the Quinn changes, and hopefully riot recognizes this. Quinn was fun and unique, and now she's useless and redundant.

Heh, tell that to Karma. Riot don't 180 changes to unpopular champions.

Well, unless you were seriously ahead going bird mode and jumping on someone was pretty much suicide. Now she keeps the burst/assassination power that you're talking about, but she isn't a melee champion while she does it. I'd say you should like the rework lol.

That little mark proc isn't enough to make her an assassin. She has no real combo now. It's just get as many harriers off as you can and hope they're dead.

last i checked, nobody plays Quinn (im actually a Quinn main btw). her top lane is just as if not more toxic than teemos. her ult was only good in the hands of someone who has played countless hours with her. blind is a shitty mechanic, only good againt AA based champions and even then is was only half the duration as teemos. most people are just upset her play style is different.

So what you're saying is she was a unique champion that took practice to be good with. Yeah. That's kind of my point.
