Xin zhao will get a new W following his update.

New W - “Wind Becomes Lightning” This is a 2 part flowing attack with his spear that includes a sweeping slash in front of Xin, followed by a long-range thrust. Slash - deals damage in a cone in front of Xin. Thrust - deals higher damage at long range and slows targets hit for 1.5 seconds.

You didnt even care to blend parts from old skills Into a new one. You straight up placed Sejuanis w on Xin.

This is really lazy, and tbh, I think it's a bad move on Xin. Here's something I'd rather see: W: At The Ready- Xin winds up an attack, gaining bonus resistances. If an enemy tries to dash through an area in front of him, he stops their movement, dealing damage and stunning them. Unstoppable units have the stun placed on them after the status effect ends. If no enemy dashes before the attack, he stabs forward, dealing the same damage in the area and slowing units instead.

There's some similarity in the overall shapes, yes, but it's worth noting that Xin's range is much, much greater on the thrust portion (since we wanted to play-up the fact that he's using a spear)

Nope. We played around with a few new abilities and ended up really liking a long range spear thrust, which is the 2nd part of this W. Then the slash came in later because it wasn't particularly fun or useful to attack jungle camps with a long, thin damage source like W2. We wanted something short range and wider to cleave whole camps like the raptors or wolves, especially when it interacts with his passive (i.e. you can save up 3 attacks and then unleash the bonus damage with the whole W1 slash cleave).

So in the end it ends up reading like Sej's W but it doesn't play like hers, in practice. He can't move, his is faster casting, and its range is much, much greater.

To be frank it makes sense on Xin, dude has a spear but yeah it's the new 3 hit passive and I don't mind that as long it makes sense on that champion
