So, I've been looking at this item on Quinn, and I've actually been seeing some decent results.
About the only stat on this item that doesn't work to well on Quinn is the AP, although, her Q has an AP scaling. The Sheen proc fits nicely into her combo, and the mana helps her early game.
I've found a build like this:
tends to work quite well on her.
So, T&T, am I wrong in thinking that Trinity Force is a good item for Quinn?
So heres my take on triforce on quinn:
Its not a good item to build on her mainly because she doesn't have short cooldowns on her abilities to maximize the dmg it deals. If you look at her 2 main spells that allow her to proc triforce, its her Q ( 7-11 second cooldown) and E (8-12 second cooldown) and triforce's passive has a 2 second cooldown. Her playstyle is mainly to proc her passive and get the attack speed steroid on her W, allowing her to kite the enemy more effectively. Overall, triforce is a waste of gold on her. You could simply build an autoattack focused build like Botrk > Youmuu's Ghostblade > Infinity edge > static shiv which optimizes her playstyle and skill kit.
Source, I am a diamond 3 adc main so its part of my job to know proper itemization on each adc to optimize their dps.
What the guy above you said: she has no spammable abilities to take advantage of Sheen. Additionally, the movespeed from Phage isn't necessary; Quinn already catches people extremely well without it. Triforce is expensive and doesn't provide enough for Quinn to be worthwhile.
No. It's bad.
I play a bunch of and consider her my main. I play her Top, Bottom, and Mid. Often times i see a lot of people use a build similar to yours. Personally, I think it's trash.
My reasoning as to why it's bad is that it has so much attack speed. Quinn's huge weakness is that she has a shorter range, so this means fewer times to deal damage in team fights. Huge AS steroids just don't get used on her imo due to the danger involved.
Regardless of where i play her, this is my standard Start on Quinn.
(Boots flexible, whatever you need)
Now I choose this build path because it feels like the strongest start on her for me, and maximizes the typically 1-2 Trinity Force proc's you'll get in a single skirmish.
You should really play Quinn mostly as an assassin, as her kit is INSANE in 1v1 fights, especially in Valor form. With just IE and Trinity you can R>E>Q>Auto>R and kill a carry if they have no armor or health item yet. If you somehow don't kill them, they have like, 10 hp and you just shoot them, all before your blind wears off on them.
As such, my Quinn builds usually look like this.
For Max dmg against non armor targets. (for armored substitute LW for youmoos if they have like, 3 armor items. You shouldn't really fight them if they do anyways, kill something else)
For more tank
(finish hexdrinker after randuins)
I really don't stray from those 2 builds, but you have to be mindful that you won't crit much with the tankier build and as such assassinations have a bit of an RNG to them.
Overall my opinion is "Yes" to trinity force on Quinn, but don't build attack speed to back it up, build raw damage. Those 2 sheen procs need to HURT to make it worth it and BOTRK/TF/Youmoos just doesn't hurt at all.
If you're taking Quinn top against a melee opponent, you can pretty much build whatever you want and win the lane.
