Woad Scout Quinn tag team followup

Woad scout Quinn and the new Tag Team

A couple months ago, I made a thread about the (new at the time) Quinn rework and the Woad Scout skin. I felt that the new sound for Quinn's ultimate didn't fit with a skin which had quite different owl sounds on its other abilities. Since you hear the ult sound a lot when you play Quinn, and I prefer the hooting sounds to the default screeching ones, I asked if they could possibly reuse some of their existing sounds on the skin to make the ult sound fit better into the skins theme.

At the time the post got a moderately positive response from the boards, and even got multiple responses from Riot KateyKhaos saying

Hey Risotadazo!

Nice catch! We'll see what we can do here! :D

and later

You should be seeing (hearing?) something on the PBE soon!

I realize that "soon" is relative and that Riot may of course change its mind on things but it would be nice to know if some changes to the skin's sounds could still happen of if the idea has since been rejected.

Hey Risotadazo,

I saw your other post for an update, and I'm replying here as well!

I've gone ahead and passed this thread onto one of my friends on Champion Update who has been helping me with these sounds, and has been helping me give updates. He'll be able to give you more of an update as to what the verdict currently is since his team are the ones handling Quinn's update as a whole.

Hey Risotadazo,

KateyKhaos sent me here to talk to you about the Woad Quinn SFX.

Originally we didn't have unique sounds for her ultimate but after they went live we worked to get a new unique sound for the ultimate. I read the first post and made the correction to this one. What were your exact concerns about how the skin sounds?

Did you feel it wasn't aggressive enough? Was it so different it didn't match the sounds compared to the w?

Looking forward to hearing back from you :)

I agree, the 'screeching owl' SFX for Woad Scout Quinn's new ultimate sound very different to the base owl SFX the skin originally came with (which are not at all screechy but overall more 'hoot hoot-y'). I am glad they updated the sound for the new ult though, rather than leaving Valor with eagle cries in that skin. And if they went through the trouble of finding new SFX for owl Valor then I doubt they'd just do away with 'em.

Hopefully they'll add the hooting sounds back to Skystrike for Woad Scout Quinn though, and maybe they'll update Phoenix Quinn's Behind Enemy Lines SFX too since it is a 975 RP skin with a phoenix rather than an eagle. Not to mention, Phoenix Quinn also mysteriously lost its unique Skystrike sound effect after the update.
