I read some 👎 comments re him a long time ago. Then I viewed Cap’s podcast. Many thanks to Cap for having Quinn and Insania at times. I realized Quinn seemed to be a 👍 person, not a jerk. He had reasonable takes. He hated roster shuffle rumors. Per him the news should come from the organization, not a tattler. I’ve agreed. Per him it was 1 of the few times the organization could gain fame. He cared much re Dota 2. His retirement vid also shows he’s cared much re Dota 2. He was talky so he was a natural in podcasts and at-site interviews. Someone said Quinn and Insania were easy to interview so Dota 2 interviewers <3 them. I’ve been a fan.
He’ll need a Cap-level, Sunsfan-level or ODpixel-level partner if he’s an analytical caster. I’m stoked. Or he’ll analyze drafts.
Hear me out; panels with him and SVG
Then SVG and Quinn playfully bashing each other.
Maybe he can have enough name recognition to make the panel, we need some new blood on the “main” panel. The quality difference in terms of analysis - especially during drafts - from the Road to TI panel with Misery and Fly etc compared to the TI proper was stark.
No one needs to be a perfect person to be allowed to do what they love. Don’t know why the 👍👎 is important. Quinn isn’t perfect, but his knowledge and passion for dota is without question. I’m sure he’ll find a good place for himself :)
I wouldn’t make this post if he was an unbearable jerk. I wouldn’t care re him.
But I heard he was toxic in pubs. Per Sunsfan and Synderen he was like Slacks. Toxic in pubs but seemed 😇 in person. I guess being on edge for a long time can bring out the worst in some. You should be focused when you play Dota 2. Like driving. Some get furious so fast while driving but are 😇 at hangouts.
Agree with you that he’s been passionate re Dota 2.
