Why with the tights on Heartseeker Quinn?

Before you say it: Yes I saw the reasoning Katey gave. But here's the thing, I don't agree. Not that anyone asked for this, but here are my issues with these changes and the various reasonings surrounding them. If you don't wanna read all this, skip to the bottom where I state my main point.

  • It's not consistent with the rest of the Heartseekers (not counting Orianna). Both Vayne and Ashe proudly display their, er, sexier features, it can't suddenly not be okay for Quinn.
  • Quinn's battle posture is not a good excuse for the tights when you clearly still need to be on the ground to see you-know-where, especially considering how she's crouching all the time. Vayne takes a similar posture when holding her Q and during her dance and such, should she also cover up? Not to mention Vayne tumbles and rolls a lot more.
  • Saying this skin is in any way out of character because Quinn isn't a "girly girl" doesn't make sense because, as mentioned, Vayne exists in the same skin line. Besides Vayne's Heartseeker skin existing, skins are fun because they don't necessarily have to be "in character." Lighten up, people.
  • The tights look silly. This is a purely subjective point but now she just looks like she's wearing purple pants with some ribbons randomly strapped to her thighs. Considering Riot probably won't drop them now that they're there since Riot often enough doesn't seem to listen to feedback beyond the first wave of it (more on that in the next point), they should at least be a different color, maybe white or something.
  • SO FAR, They're only taking into account initial complaints and feedback. Naturally a lot of these are criticisms because people who actually liked it before would've likely justed move on without leaving a comment. It's only now that the initial criticisms have been taken into account and changes made that we'll see people pop up in support of the old version because only now do we have something to complain about.

A point I can't stress enough though is the point about fitting her character.

If all skins ever did was fit a character's character, we would have a lot less of the skins we currently love and enjoy. Why would Udyr ever dress up like a giant chicken? Why would Nasus be a hellhound with a sick boombox? How would anyone get Gnar to hold still long enough to squeeze into Luchador spandex? How did adorable little Teemo become the actual devil? Did Shyvana forget that dragons breathe fire? Star Guardian Jinx.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON QUINN CAN'T DRESS LIKE SHE DID IN THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THIS SKIN. If you ask me, a bad-ass tomboy (a sentiment I've seen thrown around regarding this issue) like Quinn wouldn't care if you occasionally see her panties while she's kicking off your chest, blinding you with her bird, and riddling you with arrows. Just because she usually dresses conservatively, it does not mean she MUST ALWAYS dress like that. How would you like it if someone told you can only dress in one way and never deviate from that style?

Dressing skimpy once in a while does not make you less of a badass, covering up because people expect you too does.

Saying Quinn absolutely cannot dress skimpy is patronizing not only to her as a character but also to anyone who liked the skin before the changes.

-looks at star gaurdian line with some of their short skirts- also why did they change the hair color..... The brighter pink would look better i think with the more popping of the outfit.

The updates look better and fit Quinn more. Why would they make a skin concept on a champion that it doesn't fit for? They fixed it so the skin fit her better. Stop whining . .. at least your skin is getting significant work done on it. Karma Winter Wonderland didn't.

Why does it fit more now than it did before? Because Quinn usually wears pants? Should everyone just always wear the same style all the time? Why is it it okay for the Queen of the Freljord and a demon/vampire hunter to dress like that but not a Demacian ranger?

What does Karma's skin have to do with this?

There a plenty fans who think the karma skin isn't finished and aren't happy that Riot didn't listen about the feedback.

It's funny, how so many insisted that ALL (female) character has to be fanservice. I remember the discord about Jinx flat chest. About Taliyahs eyesbrows. This is riddicult. It doesn't fit her as character, as much Heartseeker Vayne and Battle Bunny Riven doesn't fit them as well, and it just don't look good, either. The concept idea is not bad (even if I still dislike the skin serie) but you can still make a skin, which is gorgeous without revealing too much skin. ...but I forget, you can't look good without dressing like a slut? Right?

Yeah you must have forgot. Forgot about all of the other nice skins Quinn has where she isn't dressing "like a slut." Slut shaming isn't nice you know. Who are you to say what these characters can and can't wear?

Their whole point is..... Who is it that you think you are to say it "fits quinn more"? Are you quinn? No? You her father/mother/related to her in the slightest way possible? No? Did you create quinn? No?

Varus isnt a heartseeker type either, he just has the model for it. Vayne is a killer of things that lurk in the night. Bright pink doesnt "fit her" at all. "she just has a crossbow" no its because she has a model that looks good with the outfit they had in mind.

Karma winterland skin looks a lot like taliyah winter skin though..... So you do have a point that she could have a bit of work done to differentiate her.

Oh yeah, and orianna isnt the heartseeker type either. She is a deadly machine. Not saying she doesnt deserve love, but her understanding of love is different than, say, yours.

What i like is the first version of the skin but colors of the second except the hair (Pink hair of the first version would fit better). There. Perfection. Sincerely , A Quinn main.

The entire skin doesn't make sense on quinn tbh. They're only doing it because she has a crossbow, but what we really need is Heartseeker IllaoiIllaoi

yay nibbers2 votes

It doesn't really make sense on anyone but that's what's great about skins.

Heartseeker Illaoi tho

I'm waiting for heartseekerThresh

But what I really want is heartseekerTristana

I know she has a bazillion skins already but I think MissFortune is the Heartseeker the world really needs.

Where's that heartseeker Twitch a few handful of us have been asking for?

midnight oil241 votes

Damn, now I really want that.

Personally, I really like the skin both ways

I do too honestly, I just prefer the thighhighs. Personally, if I were them, I'd ditch the skirt and replace it with shorts. No awkward panty shots while maintaining most of the sex appeal and putting it a bit more "in character" as everyone like to go on about.

I do agree with you. Plus, shorts are cool.

No one complained that you could get a panty-shot from her with that posture. The complaints were simply that the outfit simply didn't fit the battle posture,it looked odd when she is standing like that.

"SHE'S A STRONG WOMAN THAT SHOULD BE FREE TO EXPRESS HER SEXUALITY WITHOUT SHAME AND RESTRAINMENTS"

"NO! SHE'S BEEN SEXUALLY EXPLOITED BY THE PATRIARCHY"

The battle goes on...
