Shouldn't Xin's new ult damage immunity also apply to enemies inside the area as well?

Xin Zhao Gameplay Update - To the Arena!

R modified- now called “Crescent Guard”

  • Xin Zhao’s ultimate is still an instant cast sweeping circle that knocks enemies back and deals damage. The knockback still excludes the last target he dashed to or attacked.
  • NEW: For 3 seconds after casting Crescent Guard, Xin Zhao creates a zone around himself and will block damage dealt to him from champions outside of his guard area. The duration of this stance is extended slightly every time Xin Zhao attacks an enemy champion.

The overall goal of this change was to allow Xin Zhao to knock enemies back (besides his primary target) and become immune to damage from anyone outside of the circle attacking him so he can have his 1v1 with his primary target - at least until enemies walk back into the circle to attack him.

Or else it's he's not really going to be "1v1ing" when his teammates can also attack the enemy

edit: fixed the formatting that got fucked up

It specifically says that it blocks damage from outside

The purpose isn't to make it a 1v1 it's to allow xin zhao to solo someone out in a fight where there are more enemies. They removed the part where he gains more MR and armor from hitting multiple champions which tied into his lore. The new ult now ties into the lore and is actually interesting instead of MonkeyKing passive.

What is the point of the circle then lol.

Tanks has to go and help the squishy out.
