@RiotRangerXIV Quinn's missing Skystrike sounds!

Hey Riot Ranger (and/or any other Rioters),

Nine months ago, there was a thread in which we talked about the sound effects for Quinn's ultimate ability "Skystrike," and how they went missing shortly after her rework (specifically, the unique sounds that accompanied Skystrike in her Phoenix and Woad Scout skins). I know you made no promises that you'd be able to bring them back, but I'd just like an update if that's something you're still working on, or if there's just absolutely no way that they'll return (perhaps due to those sound files being lost)?

The sound effects were a really cool feature of Quinn's ultimate that made playing her feel even more awesome. They were also a part of the reason those two skins were priced at 975 RP.

For reference, here is a comparison of what Skystrike sounded like before the rework and after. Again, both Phoenix Quinn and Woad Scout Quinn had unique SFX for this ability, but now they are just using the default Quinn Skystrike SFX:

Hey Valor, appreciate you keeping me up on this. I have no good answer to why this has taken long.

Because it was something of the 975 RP price tag I feel it's super wrong to not give that to the skin. (Lost sound file isn't a thing @.@)

I think the phoenix one needs the sound but isn't the Woad skin SFX a different sound than base?

I'd love for my phoenix Quinn to have the original SFX back I still miss it, so rito plz.

I would love that. Quinn is one of my top played champs & it would enhance the gameplay imo.

I have no context on Phoenix Quinn's model quality. Just seems like an earlier skin. However, the sound for Quinn Woad is still unique right now right? It may not be the same sound but it is different than base right?

Riot need to fix Harrier issue as well, like having to auto attack twice to make it proc. Passive, Q and E Harrier are buggy since her rework and it wasn't adressed.

The missing sound is not the only issue with that skin, the model seems very dated and/or rushed, I was looking at the model viewer for phoenix and the legs seem weird, they are so skinny and bent in an awkward position. That said, the model has issues. My first assumption of Phoenix Quinn was that it was "rushed" at release.
