Possibly needed Xayah nerfs?
So as everyone knows Xayah and Rakan are out on the PBE servers and several big youtubers have already released some busted builds and/or gameplay Videos and for me from what i have seen so far i Need to bring up certain questions and answer them:
Question 1: Does her Q empowered AA proc with Runaans? Is she able to proc 3 feathers at the same time with every AA? Answer: Unknown, but if she did that would Need to be removed because she would become indefinitly broken due to the fact that pre-6 she can if succesfully rushing the item LITERALLY triple her power spike with a meager 2600 gold purchase
Question 2: Does her E reduce the damage with multiple feathers? Answer: From what has bee displayed so far, no. It would be recommended to do such however because it would cause indefinite amounts of damage, whoever watched vandirils dragon oneshot or redmercy's gameplay clip will know that she can quite literally just R-E for over 1k damage, giving her the burst worthy of 1 1/2 assassins. I would recommend a damage reduction that scales with the feathers amount as follows: 1 feather: 110% damage 3 feathers: 100% damage each 5 feathers: 90% damage each 10 feathers: 85% damage each 15 feathers: 80% damage each 20 feathers and anything more: 75% damage each
Question 3: Does infinity edge multiply the crit scalings for her E? Answer: Unknown but it would definetly be recommended if it does not. If, however, it does, then a slight nerf would be needed to the crit scaling on her E
Question 4: Does her E possess global range? Answer 4: Yes, from vandiril's Video there is a fair room to assume it does. i would nerf that so her feather decay functions similar if not same to azir's soldiers. Make the decay twice as fast if she is 900 Units away or further or if they are undertower. the reason is simple, her Q empowered feathers and her ultimate range outscale any and all adc's in the game, giving her the potential to harrass and snowball from a distance far too save. she also can just lay down some feathers in a wave, retreat (hide in a bush) bait the enemy into pushing or csing and then use her E for a possible snare and initiaty a lethal ambush with an all out which is near perfect even for the stupidiest of noobs.
So as you can see the biggest Problems for Xayah's balances lie within her E and her feathers as a whole, they do too much damage while making her too safe. this adc is kit and playstyle wise quite literally the unholy result you get if lucian, caitlyn and draven made a child. she can snowball, she can waveclear, she can push, harrass, Counter push, Counter snowball. her laning phase is too safe for someone who possesses such an aggressive and high burst kit
I hope you understand my concerns and i hope you agree with my proposal for possible balancings.
