Whats with that xayah nerf??

Really, that's so harsh, almost every single ADC right now can clear waves easily, she has no good range, and her passive is her main compensation, why is tristana allowed to E then Q a wave and erase it, and every other ADC that mainly depends on item 3085 , 25% nerf is too much actually, even though, I still can't find a reason to nerf her, she has a very stable win rate, 51%, even less than some other adcs, and please don't justify that with pro play reasons. This is my opinion, don't rain comets of downvotes just because I expressed my opinion please. Edit: I meant her E, which is getting it's damage on minions reduced from 50% to 25%.

Xayah was the best adc since release almost. Bout time she took a hit. I know Kai Sa is the best now and some adcs (trist, ez, kog, twitch) had stints as the "best" but xayah is the only one that stayed top tier for that time period

They should nerf dmg to champions instead of minions

Her teamfighting and dueling is already too chaotic with particles flying left and right. Her bladecaller is a means of self peel, disengage, and executing. Waveclearing was just a bonus because item 3508 is an item. Had that item not existed, bladecalling minions waves wouldn't have been nerfed as the cooldown without the precious 30% cdr is already crazy high.

So because of the ease of access to a low CD waveclear/primary source of damage it gets nerfed.

Downvotes are a way to say we disagree. You put too much value into this system.

Xayah is an incredibly strong ADC herself with no weakpoint in the game generally (50%+ WR at all game points prior to nerf). She's super safe with her R and she's meant to require mechanical skill. This nerf is well deserved for a champion who should be item reliant.

because she has no clear weaknesses? She has that raw damage from E which gives her good damage in laning she has good waveclear in laning and on top of that she scales really well into late with crit too.. to help nerf her she needs that counterplay in the early and the waveclear nerf is a good choice tbh
