Is Xin broken?

Blade of the Ruined King + Sated Devourer are this Xin's only items. I'm Warwick with Blade of the Ruined King + Sated Devourer + Wit's End + Randuin's Omen

I cannot 1v1 Xin, even with my ult. I almost can't even move his health.

What the fuck?

Honestly, he is pretty broken and unfair. There's going to be a lot of people who are trying to look like godly LCS-material players who will tell you "Xin is definitely balanced!" and other stuff like "Cho'gath is balanced and SO easy to counterplay.", despite this, It's false in reality. There are also other people who are LCS sheep that will swear to god that Ekko is underpowered as soon as an LCS player says he is. So I'd be careful about posting stuff like this, since a very large part of the community will have either one of these responses to it.

His kit synergizes too well with itself, and he can pretty much lock down anyone he wants to and you either need a TON of self peal, or you need someone to get him off of you. Even when he's not fed, he's an extremely big threat and I don't like it. He's so strong and I feel like he's a hidden-overpowered champ.

Sated or not xin isn't a champion anyone really wants to 1v1, he's always been a good duelist. Part of it comes from his interrupt in the combat via his knockup that gives him a recovery window and removes his opponent from combat.

WW has always been more supporty with his ult IMO. Never was very good at melting people, not since Madreds.

P.S. When did this happen cause I don't see any games in your match history vs a xin.

Edit: Nvm you posted this while in game lol, I'll wait til after to see.

welll sated synergize with bork. is not really that xin is broken is that the double trigger or bork means xin is healing for far more that ww. irelia will also look like that but since her abilities has a longer cd she can keep up like xin.

You'd think since Warwick also has Sated, BotRK, and is presumably level 12+ from the farming that he would win though, as he has a severe item advantage (Randuin's for survavibility and lowering AA DPS, Wit's End for more DPS and tankiness) and up to 30 health on hit, easily edging out Xin's 50 every 3. Even factoring Sated WW is healing an effective 45 per hit and Xin 25 per hit, which when combined with the item advantage would normally point to WW winning hard.

I'd guess, however, that with Xin's passive, Q, and W passive he's able to hold his own, but if those were really the items at the time the only way I can see for WW to lose is if he messed up or got red smited.

I'm amusing that xin ulted at the begining of the fight and that it lasted for less than 6 second so it didn't wear off. Assuming at lvl 12 they shoudl have similar stats on armor, mr, as, ad and ww having an edge of aroun 150hp (itemless) Also. Xin should have enough mana to spam his abilities which will mean a couple of e, a w, and of course his q coiming out of cd right at the end of the fight.

I'm guessing xin ulted, followed by ww ult. WW most likely had his w on cd and die before he came out of it being vastly outdaamged by xin ( that can q and bring his w back thanks to the 3 sec cd).
