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 :)

Hello, I'm not op but I do own the skin and I think his concern is that the scream doesn't sound very "owly". I'm not sure if that's actually an owl's screech but I guess most people couldn't tell that's an owl sound either. I personally don't mind it that much but I think just a hoot hoot sound, like when Quinn does the /joke or the W, would be better appreciated.

Ah, I see I see.

I think the artist that was doing the sound wanted to capture the sound of a Snow Owl. I just listened to a bunch of owl sounds and some of those are definitely interesting @.@

Hey Riot Ranger! Before the marksmen update Quinn had unique sound effects on both her Phoenix skin and Woad Scout Quinn skin whenever she would cast Skystrike. Is there any chance we can get these sounds back in for that ability? Skystrike is just using the same sound effects from her base skin across all her skins currently rather than the unique ones they had before.

In case you're wondering, here's video footage of what I mean:

http://youtu.be/rRg6CG0TxkY Phoenix Quinn had sharp, fiery sound effects attached to Skystrike. (Skip to 1:13)

http://youtu.be/zzAeP9tbyeI Woad Scout Quinn had hooting owl sounds attached to Skystrike. (Skip to 1:38)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKwTpv8jjm8 Now, Skystrike sounds like this across all skins. (Skip to 0:36)

Fantastic my friend! I am sorry that I misunderstood. Skystrike sounds.. NO PROMISES but I will look into what we can do. I had no idea that she had unique sounds for skystrike and this post was fantastic at letting me see what we had lost when we did the update. Thank you very much!

I hope something comes of this!

Hey Riot Ranger! Thanks for the reply. Any updates on this? I really hope those unique Skystrike sounds were salvageable.

Also, on a slightly unrelated note but pertaining to Quinn, it seems like all of her auto attacks are currently using her crit animation rather than her standard auto attack animation. Is this a bug or is it intended?

Cheers!

Hey Valor Bot, appreciate you staying on top of this. It is something we are trying to get back into the game. All I can say is as soon as we can but I hope it's sooner than later!

The animations for her attack is something that we like right now, how do you feel about it?

Thanks again Valor Bot!

Happy to help, thanks for trying to get this solved for us :)

I like her crit animation, but for clarity reasons I do think it may be important for her to have a standard auto attack animation as well, one that's distinct from her crit animation, especially since she's an ADC.

Cheers!

Quinn used to have (I think) 4 different auto attack animations (the last of which was her "reloading" her crossbow). They used to flow together nicely when she attacked repeatedly. I think I remember reading that they were removed because of clarity issues or something, which was a little disappointing.

Is it possible to get a Phoenix SFX? I feel like Valor's call when using ult should be something similar to Rift Herald. It feels bad playing as a phoenix that sounds like an eagle ;_;

Valor Bot1 votes

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.
