But Quinn is the only one who can generate Flow with this rework, and you've made her more immobile. Like I said, it just doesn't gel. And it feels different, yes, but in a bad way imo - Gnar can opt to not be in combat and let his Rage decrease, or throw his Q at jungle camps as he roams the map to keep it up, but Quinn will almost never have the luxury of just saying "Okay Imma stand still for a bit so this will go down, nobody throw any skillshots at me now!"

Unless Valor is an unambiguous benefit in all situations - which he's not - you can't lock Quinn into being forced to use him or losing one of her two active abilities unless she performs an undesirable behaviour - standing completely still. It's the same reason people don't like 's passive - a free guaranteed crit is theoretically strong, but Ashe generates the stacks for it ludicrously slowly unless she just doesn't attack, meaning she misses CS. Except for Quinn here, it's worse, because Ashe doesn't lose anything if she doesn't want to wait for Focus stacks, whereas Quinn does if she doesn't want to stand still (which in certain lanes is practically suicide).
