Love his new W. Before it was nearly impossible to successfully gank a lane that had flash up but now you have a way to outplay it
Three Talon Strike feels really weak now but I just level it up last and treat it solely as a knock-up mechanic rather than damage.
Xin was my main jungler before the change, but will now likely be my main champion, incredibly done Riot, very rarely am I this happy with a champion update
[slayer-pantheon-thumbs] Thumns up to one of the only people who actually think the update is a good thing (This includes me)
what
When an update goes well it feels good. Rarely though Riot is successful.
yeah he is also my new FOTM permaban
In any case, I used to play Xin a lot, it feels pretty bad to me. I can't definitively say so because at least some of it is probably muscle memory screwing with me, but there are various things that seem off to me. First is having a long cast time on W on an autoattacking champion. Second is having the attack speed on E, I'd rather have it on anything else. The ult sounds cool in theory, but in execution it feels rather weird, their carries are likely to be ranged so dashing onto them prevents you from using the invincibility properly. And finally, getting a ton of number nerfs when he gained counterplay feels really terrible.
i like his update 2 i was really worried that his ulti would be broken as hell but its not ive played against him a few times and after he used it once i just got in real close to do damage not that thats always a good idea but since i main malz it worked fine. his w does feel akward to me maybe needs a faster cast time . He def doesnt feel nearly as faceroll as b4
I personally think that he feels kind of clunky and a little overpowered strictly in terms of numbers, but I applaud the ult change of only because League as a whole desperately needs highly unique abilities like it that meaningfully differentiate champs. Up until the latter half of S5 most champs suffered from too much overlap leading to champs being better or worse versions of each other like when Irelia was Bad!Jax or Sejuani was Bad!Amumu.
