Introduction: i main adc and play League every day, im not a casual player because i play all day most every day and highest rank is Gold 3, i also main supp: (http://www.adanyeva.org/

Thoughts on Quinn after playing over 50 games since 5.22: The old Quinn was an odd ADC that had little place as an ADC in all the metas, she was mainly used in Top lane, and we never saw her used very much, had a low pick rate, but her win rate was balanced, she had the tools to 1v1 and help the team comps(blind, mobility, dmg).

Now we have the marksman updates which are helping many ADC's be viable in lanes, i.e. Corki, Lucian , and especially Graves which got the most buffs and is viable Top, MID, JG, and ADC, however if there was an antithesis(opposite) to graves it would be Quinn . From all the buffs/changes Quinn seems to be gutted.

Firstly, Quinn in 5.22 does not have team comp CC with the removal of blind, does not have reliable chemistry with team comps except the (underpowered)50sec CD W which can give allies vision, furthermore, she cannot 1v1 other adc's (unless she's fed ofc), but she can still deliver some damage and roam, i think she's the queen of roaming, BUT... with huge holes, it seems that mobility/roaming is the ONLY thing she has for her, and everything else seems like a joke compared to all other adc's, yet the ult has serious problems:

Quinn's Ult: the advantage is the 3 second cooldown that let's you use this a lot, however, the cast time is 2 seconds and it's channeling, not only that, minions/champs can interrupt it making this ult very bad. Beware of using R in most cases because it can be easily interrupted and the feeling of casting it is terrible, feels like a wonky mechanic: http://www.adanyeva.org/anti-fun.html?

Riot's changes: -they gave a graves-like blind on Q and buffed her passive dmg -critique: good buffs and very balanced, the buff passive is incremental to her lvl which is good, a graves like blind is also good and not OP, however her Ult hasnt changed and that's not good: minions interrupt this and she's immobile: bad.

additional needed changes: remove minion ability to interrupt ult: this allows quinn to actually use her ult when needed and not at the mercy of minions aggro. remove immobility when channeling ult, we would like to move while channeling R, but still can be interrupted by champs, this makes the player feel better about using ult. As it stands using R gives you a terrible feeling of fear, anything can come and harass you out of your ult, minions/champs.

proposed nerfs: give ult 2.5 seconds to channel, increase mana cost at lvl 1 to 125 mana, 50 mana, 0 mana

Unless they change her back to her original state..... then above changes would be OK with me.

Man, the Rioters and programmers played HoTs for too long! they are revamping the game to make it a more HotS paced game and wanted to add the HotS mount to a champion, who payed the price? Quinn

If you remove a good ult to change it into a Mount is an insult for all the persons that played the character. The whole problem with the new Quinn is her ult, it makes no sense and does not feel like an ult, please Riot return Valor to us Quinn mains. Also they should return to us the true Blind, not that Graves like thing (which doesn't really reduce the sight a lot).

Also all the salty people on this forum are hating the persons like us who want the old Quinn back because they feel she is OP now.. (the only OP thing now are the items).

Here something from their Q&A yesterday:

http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/B3Pe5U8H-preseason-qa?comment=001d0000

What I'm currently feeling is that it's too easy/annoying to get knocked out of R or the channel (I think minions cancelling the channel, for example, may be out of hand), and that a cooldown or different restriction on the R may be appropriate in the long term in mitigating some of those more earflicky interactions associated with her R at the moment.
