Nice update guys ! Phase Rush and Aftershock wasnt good now ? Could be cool to have the "Tank Shredder" build too with botrk BC imo when u got lot of tanks it helps so much

(11) |

I'm gonna confess, despite what it says in the changelog I haven't finished completely updating the guide. Not sure about a BotRK > BC build, I will ask the Guide Team however. I'm hoping to have the guide fully updated later tonight or tomorrow.

Please update :D

(11) |

Will do! I was actually discussing it today with the Guide Team, should be updated in the next few days! In the meantime, I recommend going Lethality Item > Shiv > IE.

I actually do Electrocute(or phase rush if i need to kite). and for the build Youmou / Tabi / Statik / IE / PD / GA and that works pretty well

Gonna update this soon? Stormrazor first is no longer viable. Best seems to be Ghostblade into Statikk into IE for Top, and IE into Statikk into Essence Reaver/Dmg Lethality for ADC.

Will do! I was actually discussing it today with the Guide Team, should be updated in the next few days! But the builds you mentioned seem to be pretty good!

Sweet, thanks for updating it! Look forward to trying some of these out.

I'm gonna confess, despite what it says in the changelog I haven't finished completely updating the guide (still need to finish off Jungle builds and actually change stuff in the Items and Builds guide chapters). I'm hoping to have the guide fully updated later tonight or tomorrow.

Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!

I really disslike how less and less options in builds u guys are making. the down stairs part of the text is well done but the builds are just garbage in my opionon.

As opposed to your guide? Taken from a Reddit post about your guide being updated: "Lol first thing I see when I click that link is Conqueror Quinn with Barrier. Is this satire?". Please don't confuse problems your guide has with our guide. The builds in our guide are what the vast majority of Quinn mains are playing. They are approved by our Guide Team which is compromised of Diamonds - Challengers. I can say with confidence that they are certainly not "garbage". But of course, you are free to believe whatever you want and build whatever you want: it is your elo that is on the iine. If you don't like the builds in our guide, simply don't build them.

Have you tried these in the jungle at all? If so were they any good? I have a hard time finding runes for Quinn jungle nowadays it seems.

(11) |

The runes/build here should work fine in the Jungle, perhaps with the exception of the GA build which is designed more for lane. The guide will be getting an update soon however because of preseason.

ever tought about going for storm razor then essence reaver and then some crit? those 20% cdr and the 50% attack speed after going out of the ult is pretty spicy. Can easily get to the atk speed cap.
Also, toughts on the current dark harvest compared to electrocute?
Oh and 10/10 build totally the kind of stuff this game needs

(11) |

Essence Reaver used to be on the guide but it was decided that it was not worth it and was removed. I have not heard of anyone building it currently, nor has there been much discussion on it recently.

Regarding current runes, there is still a lot of testing going on by the Guide Team and so we currently do not have an answer. The guide will be updated at some point in the near future when we have come to some conclusions.

Fantastic guide. I always wanted to play Quinn and i've had great results playing her. Recently you removed the Crit build and now i'm curious. Is it not viable anymore? This is the only build i've used. Have i been missing out by not playing the Burst build? Thanks in advance.

(11) |

Thank you! Indeed, the guide was recently updated and the Crit Build was removed, whilst the SR > Shiv build was made #1. The SR build is the most common build for Quinn these days. I wasn't sure about removing the Crit Build however, as nothing had really changed to make it unviable. However, after talking to the Guide Team and asking the community on Discord and on this Reddit post, I have decided that the build is not popular enough to warrant being on the guide. I would recommend trying the other builds, but if you have had success with the Crit Build then by all means carry on with it. However as you can see from the comments on the post, the SR Build is a lot more popular these days, as is the GA Build.

Great guide, I believe the part about her ult isn’t completely up to date with her currently though, as champion damage no longer cancels her ult. I also would like to propose a build path for her that’s sustainable but does a large amount of damage. If you buy an essence reaver you can get a lot of harrier procs after ending your ult because off the large amount cdr on your abilities from er’s passive. Along with this build I would include the stormrqzzor and throw In a infinity edge for the bonus peck damage after using an ability. This allows for burst that can be used on multiple targets in quick succession.

Hey, glad you liked it! Thanks for pointing out the mistakes about her ultimate, I have updated it to match the current state. Regarding your build suggestion, we actually used to have Essence Reaver on the guide but it got removed a while back due to being sub-optimal and not a lot of people building it. Since then I haven't seen many people mention it. That being said, I suggest you post your build suggestion on the subreddit (or Discord) where it can be seen by more people who can then give their opinions on it :)

This is a really in-depth build, I like it! Especially since I've been trying Quinn out for a while now and I really wanted to try and main her. The sections were full of nifty information that I kept in mind as I practiced her. The bit I liked best was the detailed information about runes, I get confused on those a lot. Salute to Quinn Mains!

(11) |

Thank you! Glad to have another Quinn Main join our ranks! You're one of us now!! :)

How long do you think it'll take until you update this for 8.16? And are the burst runes still viable after they mostly all got nerfed?

(11) |

I can't say for certain, it depends on how long it takes for our high Elo players to make up their minds on the matter. That being said, I expect builds will stay the same with maybe only some minor rune changes.

Wish there where more community guides like this one on this site. It really seems to be the best way to get all the small tips only one-tricks know about into a guide. Great job, I guess coordinating the writing of this guide was quite an effort :)

PS: It is not fun getting hit by a plane when farming sidelane. Pls stop doing that to me, ty.

(11) |

Thank you very much, means a lot to hear you say that! We'll try to avoid sidelane fly-bys ;)

Heya!

Firstly, I'd like to say that you've gone to a lot of effort to collate all this data from r/QuinnMains and I'm sure many players are benefiting from your hard work ^^

I noticed when reading that you sort of had a dismissive tone of voice when a choice seemed obvious. Like "don't argue, just take it" or "duh!". A newer player may be confused about language like this, as they genuinely wouldn't know why that choice was integral to the playstyle.

I really like how comprehensive this guide is, but can see how a reader may get lost. Have you ever thought of splitting the chapters by playstyle/lane/role instead of the standard guide layouts? Seeing as you cover a multitude of playstyles, it seems to me that a chapter about playing top lane and the runes/masteries/summoners etc to grab would be useful for a reader looking for a specific style of play.

Great start, +1 :) Thanks for requesting a discussion!

(11) |

Thank you for the quick reply!

It's true that I didn't really explain the obvious choices in the Spell section and instead try to add some humour there. I understand where you are coming from, but at the same time anyone who has played League for a bit will know that almost every champion takes Flash, Jungler's take Smite and ADCs Heal. There are exceptions to this of course, but it stands true for the vast majority of champions. That's why I chose to kinda 'skip' over these. That being said, it wouldn't hurt to explain them right? ;) I will make some changes to that later.

The problem with splitting the chapters based on lane/role/playstyle is that often a lot of things overlap between the different playstyles. I think that if I split the guide in that way, I will end up having to repeat a lot of the information. I understand that it's a bit easy to get 'lost' in the guide, but I think splitting it based on playstyle will create more problems than it would solve. Perhaps an alternative solution would be to make it easier to move around sections by using anchors (the ones provided with MOBAFire aren't very clear to see, being tucked away in corner of every chapter)? What do you think?

(2057) |

Yeah, I see what you mean about the repetition of information. Hmmm... That's a tough one. It'd also be a lot of extra work to rearrange everything... But you do sort of repeat or instruct quite a bit too that you wouldn't have to do if it was ordered in a different way. For instance, "if you're bot get this", "if you're jungling get this", "if you're mid, get this". Whereas if you had a section MID you wouldn't have to clarify when to get which thing. iykwim with that super convoluted explanation.

I'm really wracking my brain thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds.

For example, perhaps in each chapter have a part at the end like (made up data for the sake of example) that looks MUCH better than this (but you get the idea):

ADC

TOP

MID

JUNGLE

ADC
18/12/0

TOP
12/18/0

MID
12/0/18

JUNGLE
18/0/12

ADC

TOP

MID

JUNGLE

etc

Thoughts? ^^

So would this layout apply to all chapters or just a few (and if it's the second option, which ones do you have in mind)? The stuff in your example could is basically all summarised in the builds at the very start and I don't think repeating it at the end of say the Runes section or the Spell section would make a big difference.

Is there any particular chapters that you feel suffer from this confusion/mix of different playstyles/roles? Perhaps it might be better to try to solve it on a smaller scale by looking at each chapter individually?

(2057) |

Well for the Summoner Spell example, you say it's the "go-to spell for ADCs to take". To me, Quinn is an ADC. But does Quinn take Heal top lane or mid lane?

By the way, your summoner spell section looks much better now, fleshed out and descriptive, well done ^^

In terms of Mastery Pages, I think it'd be nice to provide example set ups for the different lanes (unless there is no difference across the lanes).

(11) |

I would say that Quinn is primarily an assassin and secondary a marksman. In that section by ADC i meant bot-lane carry, someone who goes botlane with the support rather than anyone who is ranged and AD. Quinn wouldn't take Heal into other lanes.

For masteries the setup stays mostly the same, the only thing that changes is keystones and even then, there is a lot of overlap (for example Thunderlord's is always going to be a viable keystone too take). I think the way I currently explain which keystone to take is better than if I had split it based on role; right now it's a paragraph for each keystone, but if I had to split it on roles I would have to do a lot more and once again there would be repetition (for example with Thunderlords).

(2057) |

I guess you just have to consider what is best for your readers. As you've chosen to represent all styles of play, it seems like to best serve your readers, you have to discuss all styles of play in an easily accessible manner. I don't know the answer, but good luck with it all :) I'm sure you'll think of something! Just remember that a new player reading a guide will look at the cheat sheet first, followed by reading the guide for information. The easier it is for them to find the information they need, the better for the reader. +rep and keep up the great work :)

(11) |

Thank you! It is a rather tricky business because of the different playstyles. I'll ponder over it and hopefully come up with a solution. Thank you for taking your time out to discuss it with me!
