Quinn: Thunderlord's Decree or Stormraider's Surge?

Hello all-

I've been getting back in to playing Quinn recently, and I've had some thoughts.

First of all, Thunderlord's Decree has been excellent, and has added a nice touch of burst to my damage combo. But, I've been noticing that at several different stages in the game, enemy champions either almost get away or I almost manage to catch and kill them. Basically, even though TLD adds to my burst, sometimes this damage is not enough.

So I started thinking abut Stormraider's Surge. In many of these cases where I'm not quite able to seal the deal, it would give me the stickiness I require to finish the job. Without the TLD, I might have to put in one extra auto in the late game-- which Stormraider's can buy for me. Further, if I do manage to just delete a squishy, Stormraider's gives me an escape if I need it.

So then I ask your opinion:

Suggests that Thunderlord's is both more popular and better performing - so, go TLD.

I'm unable to test it right now, so I thought I'd ask the boards instead...

Tld is good imo for the early mid game burst you need, since quinn is better early mid game anyway, but if you think the game Definitely is going late, I think SS could be a good option.

Tlords is fucking amazing in lane, (harrier)auto+e+harrier auto is half health with Tlords for most at level 1, and is also nearly instant.

Stormraiders may be better, but thats even less damage for you, and if there's more than 1 person, you want to kill that person and get out (although you could just not kill them and bail with Stormraiders, which is relatively worth as you aren't burning any major cd's).

Quinn just doesn't deal as much damage as a Jayce or something, so I don't think she's in a great spot right now.

Quinn's win rate jumped to 57% from 51% in this patch according to champion.gg, I wonder why?
