jDVL20eCYs··43 votes·4,683 views

0.7 ap ratio to 0.5 ....... like ap xin you ever or ever have been strong. even with the new jungle item it will not anywhere near op.... just interesting. you nerf him before item changes.... why not nerf rumble then? or vlad? tell me that play ratio of ap xin? the win rate? its stupid semi troll build. why you kill ap xin? i don't get it. delet tank ekko or tank smite fizz top first. that is played in lcs. ap xin is not even played in lcs... I'm so disappointed

I miss Rek'marine'sai =(. She was so fun. Then rito was like "uh no. we didn't build her to be a sniper, so you are not allowed to play as one". I almost left tbh >.> Almost.

I seriously hate when the community has a kneejerk reaction to a nerf done for a very legitimate reason (in this case, sated devourer on the PBE was making him heal a shitload every 2 AAs) I hate it when the community forgets that it's a complex games and that Riot doesn't just nerf to nerf.

They nerfed ADC Kennen by reducing his range and base AD

I'm still sad item 3070

They nerfed it because of the new devourer... come on guys if you read PBE look back on stuff... They will probably nerf some other on-hit passives (non come to mind right away) if they see they become really strong after AND HEY its still PBE

Only Play Darius2 votes

Except he doesn't build devourer. He doesn't benefit from on-hits and he isn't good at farming the jungle. He usually builds warrior.

TehNACHO4 votes

Except Warrior Xins don't care about this change.

This only affects AP Xins who stack AP and on-hit effects, specifically what this change targets.

Actually, his W's passive is an on-hit. Like Vayne's W. Or Gnar's.

But the new devourer doesn't give AP so why nerf the ap ratio? .-.

Leetri2 votes

AP Xin with a Sated Devourer would heal crazy amounts of damage, as long as he can attack he'd be unkillable.

I think we deserved the chance to see the difference.

But meddler said that the balance team doesn't try to do preemptive nerfs. So, yeah, if they're going to nerf ap xin zhao then they should nerf everyone else too who will be stronger with the item.

Yeah w/e they did a preemptive nerf now

It isn't a preemptive nerf. It's already been deemed OP in internal testing. Y'know, the testing that happens before something is pushed to PBE.

That seems like a pretty good nerf for Tank Xin Zhao, since that was the only builds LCS were doing on him.

jDVL20eCYs4 votes

tell me how net ap ratios is a nerf to tank xin :)? please inform me of some secret tank ap build ?

BeatzBoyFTW1 votes

Because he was played in the LCS only with tank builds? Since you did proposed you want tank Fizz & Ekko to be nerfed? Im just explaining the same logic.

Trídent2 votes

How does tank xin have to do anything with AP ratios? (In a large sense)

BeatzBoyFTW2 votes

Lol:

Gnar why does his ult need AP ratio Nasus why does his E need AP ratio Skarner why does his E need AP ratio JarvanIV why does his E need AP ratio

Trídent4 votes

If their AP Ratios were nerfed however, their tank builds wouldn't be affect much. That's my point.

If Riot wanted to nerf TANK Xin, they wouldn't of nerfed just his AP ratios.

jDVL20eCYs1 votes

o god.. impossible to reason with you. xin in lcs and xin in solo q build zero ap why its dose zero for dose build to nerf his pa ratios. its only ap xin that it hits

It's probably not intended to be an AP Xin nerf (unless they said so, but I see no link) rather just to nerf some of the healing should he go Triforce.

jDVL20eCYs3 votes

like xin even build or will build tf next patch.... they don't nerf tf xin.... would make no sens at all. its clearly only for ap xin

RisenDarkKnight5 votes

That's literally a nerf of 6 hp every 3 autos. If they were going for ad/tank xin they would have nerfed the base heal. AP xin usually built a lot of ap so he could 1 v 1 towers and the nerf could lower the healing by 200 depending on the build

Rıots Bad Client2 votes

they nerfed him because he was seen in the Lcs.

"Xin, what are you doing in the lsc?!" " XinZhao : what do you mean?" "You're supposed to stay with Zac and Zyra." " item 3070 XinZhao item 3070

Paress2 votes

Then if it goes that way better nerf Irelia , oh nvm she's not meant to be a jungler, but she'll steal heal 46 with Sated devourer and deal 150 true damages per auto.

Curling Veigar2 votes

lets nerf every ap ratio!!

Loken Stoneheart2 votes

With the new item, it'd be a 70% AP ratio heal every other autoattack. Thats arguably the best heal in the game, given how much AP you can get.

AP Xin isn't... exactly a thing. But when it's played, he's famous for just tanking turrets and such, right? Now take that and double it.

I can definitely see how it would be a problem.

jDVL20eCYs2 votes

but its his only ap ratio with e... his mid game is user trash and he is super item depended as ap. devour will also make the ap build super and until its fully stacked and he really need dcap and some mr armor items to function or he just insta dies in team fights. i really cant se him be anywhere near problematic. I just cant.

That's a bummer. I like off builds.

Whenever I play an off AP mage I think of this.

MetalGearTeemu2 votes

Riot hates off meta builds.

They can't balance the game when they force every slot to build the same 6 items in various orders.

How can they hope to contain the might of AP xin?

Rinky Dinky1 votes

At least compensate his meta build then lol

WutsKraken1 votes

So AP Xin could take on towers and heal a ton in 1v1's, so? His earlygame was awful with low AP and AD and this guy: Nasus basically completely shut him down

Saianna1 votes

Just tiny reminder that Teemo lost 0.3 ap ratio on his mushrooms (from 0,8 to 0,5) just because of Liandrys.

I wonder how would playerbase react if Riot were to nerf Jinx/ez/Lee ultimates ratios by 0,3. We'd witness riot at Riot boards for sure.

Ulquiorra9951 votes

Because doing point-and-click damage and healing for absurd amounts of damage at the same time is extremely toxic and uninteractive.

Point and click damage and healing? Oh are we talking about ADC's with their life steal and point ant click auto attacks of doom?

Manwalrus1 votes

So you suggest deleting a certain build from a champion (like smite fizz) Please tell me how you plan on doing that, or how Riot should delete a certain build from a champion because I'm pretty sure anyone can build whatever they want, or is it just me who has access to all the items in the shop all the time (minus the smite items)

jDVL20eCYs1 votes

you argumentation is super flawed. with the logic i can say you can build 6 seraph embrace on riven. with delete builds and can build i mean builds that are playable in a ranked game that actually works. i don't mean that smite top fizz should be unplayable i just mean it should not be the strongest way to play him in the highest level of play. its should be some niche solo q build. and ap xin is not specially good and we will not see any crazy ap xin win rates or him played in lcs as ap if they remove the nerf on pbe. that nerf is just so unnecessary.

Manwalrus1 votes

Well you didn't say "make tank fizz unplayable you said" Delete smite Fizz top, and I didn't say anything about AP xin, or his or anyone else's viability in competitive play or solo que. I said that there's no point in asking riot to "delete cinder-Fizz" and I asked you how Riot should go about it, you didn't even answer that. You just talked about argumentation, something about Riven building AP, talked about Fizz in a totally different (and extremely unclear) way than in your post and then went in to some random spiel about AP xin for whatever reason, tell me, whose argument is flawed?

Carniverous1 votes

He got a nerf, when not suing the new super devourer. He is total stronger with it.

The heal gose off every 3rd strike? Okay, Lets just look at item 3085 item 3087 combo. instead of 10 stacks, 30 stacks per AA.

He will be getting 3 stacks every 2 hits.... So in six hits, he gets 150% heal

The old, 140% in six hits...

I'd hate to see a 210% heal on Yas...

jDVL20eCYs1 votes

lol? wtf i just read? what have runnan and shiv to do with this?

OyddAWqJ5r1 votes

It lets Xin proc his basic attack on 3 targets and charge shiv faster and... and...

Each AA you do, with item 3085 item 3087 gives you 30 stacks instead of ten. Im using that combo as contrast.

Using that math, of the new Devourer, AP Yas has more total healing with the phantom striking...
