Now that Quinn is getting looked at, can we play as Valor again?
And by playing as Valor again, I mean visuals only -- no changes to the mechanics or functionality of the spell required. While I understand her current ult's visuals were developed to accommodate the new ability, it unfortunately also causes Valor to quadruple in size out of nowhere, whereas every other spell such as Q and Harrier has him at his standard size. This aspect of Behind Enemy Lines really throws any visual consistency out the window while also making Quinn's model and hitbox look huge even though she's supposed to feel light and nimble as a character.
I know some players felt that turning into a bird was silly or out of place, but having the ability to take control of Valor played into Quinn's tag team thematic while also allowing players to fulfill the fantasy of being a swift eagle scouting enemy lines from the skies. I've said this elsewhere, but in Assassin's Creed: Origins, there’s an ability where the player (a falconer named Bayek) can take control of a hawk called Senu to scout out the area. This is more or less the fantasy I’d like back with the visual changes to Quinn’s ultimate:

The best part is that it wouldn't really require many changes to her current visuals, as all of Valor's old animations are still in the game files. I suspect it may require a couple of tweaks to her channeling animation, but it shouldn't be anything major (at least, nowhere near the scope of visual changes Xin Zhao received in his mini-update, for example).
