Why Riot can't just admit that they shouldn't buffed Xin and simply revert the change?

Crit and AD ratio heal isn't necessary at the first place nerfing attack speed is so wrong

I am Plat, I have not seen Xin be out of line, he seems pretty much the same.

It seems only bronzies are truly having an issue with Xin... which they would have had anyway because he barely changed at all.

He is viable now. You just aren't good enough to play against him.

Riot tends to avoid reverting a change, regardless of how bad the change was. I dislike that point of view, but I respect it.

As for Xin, he's comparatively balanced. If the T1 meta got nerfed in line with other champions, he'd be OP. But with the meta as it is, he's average at best. That's really saying something.

He needed buffs, he was weak as hell and stompable. Now he is actually a threat if you let him attack you. These nerfs will weaken his early a lot.

He's the same champ with all the same crippling flaws, just with a bit more damage and healing. Still garbage in serious play.

That's like saying "we fucked up" can't have that at Riot.

riot doesnt seem to get the concept of crit chance. 'it feels bad when you cant rely upon it. ' its not supposed to be relied on its supposed to be that mechanic that comes in and fuks up the enemy some times and doesnt at other times. pulling the mechanic from other games and completely breaking in in your game isnt smart thats for any champion who wants to build crit chance. and its also not smart to have 100% crit chance on every 3rd auto attack at that point there is no crit chance

I mean I havent really been too bothered by OP Xins, but I haven't been playing much due to AD-Right-Click meta. That said, one word can answer simply why Rito wont revert changes period: Pride
