Marksman update

hey guys, so what is holding Quinn back from actually getting picked in the competitive scenes? For instances her being picked at semi final worlds, final worlds, etc. Why the pros do not pick her? Could we actually she her get picked up a lot in pro play after the update?

quinn's mixed Identity is what's holding her back. She has an ADC form and then her assassin form, Both want very different things to happen occur to win a fight, so she's suffering from a gameplay style that isn't cohesive. There's also Valor's shitty Marking as well. He doesn't mark targets the way he should.

so if that's addressed what will happen? Are we talking some sort of viability? For competitive play / pro play?

sorry that comment was a little bare bones, But yes she'll be much more viable if an identity is solidified. She'll either be lumped in with the AD casters and keep her ulti and make use of triforce and something to proc it to deal a lot of burst, but take a hit in terms of no steroid for her sustain. Or she'll become more of a traditional ADC and will have some of her kit reworked to help her sustained damage. For now she's got the worst of both worlds, she's a great duelist, but other than that she isn't a good assassin due to poor burst potential (she's got good burst but it takes a long time to execute all of it and valor is really unreliable outside of her vault), and she isn't a good ADC because her damage falls off very quickly once she's executed a full combo. She just needs a real identity to be given to her so she can have clear strengths, She's got enough weaknesses as it is anyway.

what are the chances that she would be taken into the competitive scene / pro games if those are addressed? But I hope those buffs wouldn't turn her ban tier. Also for the adc part of it, she does already work very well with supps like thresh etc. Even without those buffs.

Depends on how they decide to go with her and the META as well as a few numbers and such. Right now AD casters are weaker because there's a lot of health stacking champions in game that can easily soak up the damage dealt by this class of ADC. So more than likely she would still not be viable because she would simply be out of meta at this point. Granted a rework of her scope should probably take more than a few weeks so hopefully we'll see a meta shift before that point. If she's turned into a sustained damage carry she'll have to be given something strong to help her out when the fight goes on for a long period of time, but she'd be viable in the current meta, but how she does against the current best adc's will determine her viability. It all comes down to the kinds of tools she'll be given and what she has taken away. Without something clear to assess I can't really give you a straight answer, just speculation.
