One change that could make xin viable top and have more awesome gameplay, without breaking the champ

I've been playing xin a long time and i've always thought his ult was really cool. Not necessarily for the stats it gives or the damage it does, but rather the aoe knockback.

It is both a difficult and easy to use ability at the same time. If you're fighting a single target, it's a no-brainer ablility. It won't knockback, so it's impact is literally: Press R to do more damage and gain a small armor/mr buff.

In a teamfight scenario however, it's a completely different ability. You want to hit a lot of targets, but at the same time you may or may not want to knockback certain targets. It becomes an ability with a lot of depth and difficulty to use correctly during that scenario. Still, using your ult as xin is certainly a high point and i think it could be capitalized on.

Instead of capitalizing on it through changing the ability, his kit could be changed to make his ult have a higher chance of being impactful. That being to change his e from being a target ability to being a skill shot cast and remove the challenge proc from it. This would allow xin to make plays by audacious charging behind his foes, as well as giving him an escape ability in the top lane.

I know this change would bring a lot more power into xin's kit, but if you actually want to make him a healthier champion, you need to up his mobility/utility instead of doubling down on his single target lockdown and kill potential. As is he is very frustrating to play against in lower elo because he gimps a single target pretty well. Maybe as a compensational nerf get rid of his free crit every third hit?

And to those saying: 'xin would be op with this change, he would be able to e behind people and ult them into his team' Ok, 1: xin has no escape after he does that, and 2: lee sin, gragas, and azir can all do the same thing but even better than xin could even with this change.

I honestly think this is only thing that could make xin a better champion overall for people playing against him and for the xin player himself.
