For those who havnt already seen: http://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gameplay-feedback/PE1LJTOM-quinn-pbe-feedback-thread

quinn no longer blinds champions, leaving teemo the ONLY champion in the game with this ability. Ive made numerous posts explaining how blinds do fuck-all in game, and this is jsut riot confirming this point. they woudl rather retool quinn into a general ADC by removing all of her assassination tools, and instead of reworking blinding into a usable ability they woudl rather remove it completley.

How hard woudl it have been to fix blinds? i LOVE the mechanic, its so easy, here let me do it for you:

Q- blinding assult: sends valor forward and blinds all enemies in a small AOE. blinded enemies auto attacks have a 100% chance to miss, have vision reduced by 50% for the duration, and targeted abilities do 50% less damage. On hit abilities will NOT trigger on auto attacks. Lasts 1-3 seconds.

How hard is that? i get it you think its jsut too powerful... but you know who already has this ability? Jax Yeah, he almsot has this EXACT same ability, autos cant hit him, he takes reduced damage form certain abilities, AND it BOOSTS HIS RETURNED DAMAGE.

But lets say this is a smart move to remove blinds... you took an assassin based ADC, who can easily 100-0 you if used properly, and reduced her down to a normal ADC. And not only that, but you removed 90% of her ults damage by removing the attack speed scaling, AND removing the damage based on missing HP.

does Jinx Get this treatment? Can we remove the missing HP damage form HER ult too?

You basically jsut took quinn out behind the nexus and put both barrels into her at this point. If you are going to jsut destroy a champion to the point of unplayability jsut delete the champion and dont waste everyone's time.

I agree with OP. A friend of mine that I duo with pretty often played a lot of ADC Quinn and we absolutely destroyed together. Maybe it was our synergy, or patience involving trades, or tracking their mid / jg or a combination. The point being, Quinn was THE go-to for handling heavy sustain AD Carry champs. Now that she's lost her blind, it's like post grievous wounds removal MF. There's no real incentive to all in other than "Can I XXX-0 the enemy ADC and survive it".

It seems counter intuitive that according to Riot members themselves they want Marksmen to feel unique with individual strengths and weaknesses but then Quinn gets gutted. That was really her only 1 up in bottom lane, and what made her viable top lane as a kite/blind ADC against melee bruisers.

Can i comment saying you're looking at this WAYYYYY Too wrong! Sure the blind is there but the point of quinn's marksmanship is she converts from a long range marksman to a melee bruiser. They wanted to emphasize that turning into valor has more priority than just chasing or running away (because currently thats all it is.) Secondly, did you see the buffs to valor? I mean it really looks cool! New damages to explore and not to mention maybe a new item COUGH might be added to decrease hit chance? I'm not saying for certain but i think the marksmanship update will surely shine some more light onto her instead of nerfing her into the ground.
