That's like, only your opinion man.

If Qrow was Ruby's dad, there would be so much portions of the story to alter. Assuming we keep the core of RWBY intact, one of first changes that would probably happen is Yang and Ruby just being super close friends from their childhood. Almost like sisters probably.

This will also lead to Summer and Taiyang not doing the thing. Which potentially means Yang's mommy issues would be far stronger since she never had someone to compare to after Raven left. Meanwhile, Ruby might herself probably wouldn't change much.

Qrow being a drunkard might be a bigger issue for her assuming the story plays out the same way. In particular, their interaction in Volume 4 and 6 would probably have a different feel, since it's no longer just Ruby calling her uncle out, it's a child calling her dad out.

On the other hand, that might lead to a "my dad is better than your dad" argument between Yang and Ruby. Which would be fun to see.

This entire what-if hinges on the fact that:

A.Summer and Qrow got together

B.Taiyang and Summer didn't

C.Ruby and Yang are not sister

It's the least confusing way to handle it. As is, if you force Qrow to be Ruby's dad, it opens up a very bad can of worms that even I wouldn't wanna fuck around with.
