My thoughts on Quinn

I feel like the fact that quinn is the top lane adc is a bit wrong. her ult encourages her to roam but she is in the least roam safe lane in the entire game. Her harass is super toxic against melee ranged tops that can't explode her or out live her, but at the same time her lack of scaing makes her an adc that falls off late, which is weird. she also forces her team to lose out on one more chance at a bruiser or tank to help the mid and bot lane late game. and i feel like this is all due to a flaw in her design.

I don't think Quinn should be an adc, I think she should be an assassin.

Think about it, her entire kit and theme seem to play towards this idea, shes a demacian ranger. Rangers in most media are quick footed sure shotted killers who are known to hunt like animals but think like humans(dr'zzt, legolas, Green Arrow, Hawkeye). She feels like she's made for ambushing people but her kit is instead made to be about rushing people down and dps'ing them to death. Her counterpart is talon, a bird themed noxian assassin. Her roaming ability should put her in the same role as talon as the roaming champion, but once again she is taken top instead of mid. she would also be unique in the fact that she would be the assassin adc, a role not really taken up by many other characters, basically just twitch and vayne kinda, they don't have alot of the hallmarks that assassin normally have but they do ambush and sneak up on people.

So here's some of my idea's on how to make quinn more assassin like. First remove all her crit scalings. why is she being forced to build crit? for ashe and jhin it makes sense, they both have really unique mechanics that directly interact with crits, Quinn's passive jsut kinda does scale of crit.

Make her entire kit more combo oriented. instead of having abilities that don't interact with combat at all instead make it so they bounce off each other like the other assassin's in the game.

Her w is neat but for a scouting tool ashe's hawkshot will always be better. I think it should work closer to a rengar ult maybe where she starts hunting nearby enemies and her first attack on them give her some sort of burst damage.

her e is just really bad. I would make it more important to her burst combo and maybe make it less reliant hitting an enemy. so that she can use it as an escape tool and an engage tool to really encourage and in and out style of other assassins.

why is skystrike even an ability. it does no damage and is not satisfying to land imo. I don't have any idea's on how to fix it but it needs alot of looking into.

{quoted} I don't think Quinn should be an adc, I think she should be an assassin.

she would also be unique in the fact that she would be the assassin adc

She literally is a ranged assassin though. Have you not yet had the pleasure of flying through the entire enemy-side jungle in 1.2 seconds, jumping on the enemy mid and deleting their health bar LeBlanc-style?

Also, what if I told you that you didn't have to play her top lane? I play her mid here and there and have a lot of success.
