Xayah is really overtuned

Shes able to one shot people early, shes an early game bully because her clean cuts damage is insane, she doesnt ever seem to have a bad phase, stuff like that. Anyone else agree?

You might be playing against her poorly. I just got level 7, and I can assure you she is NOT an early game bully. Real bullies like Lucian and Caitlyn destroy her. If you're getting one shot, that means you ignored 8-10 feathers on the ground and allowed them all to hit you on a pullback. Her potential is insane if you sit in one spot, what you need to do it move to the side after each auto.

Clean cuts is half an autos worth of damage. Hardly something to write home about before you get some major AD items. If you're getting hit a lot, play to the side of the wave and constantly adjust your position relative to Xayah.

Early statistics shows that her weakest point in the game is early as well. Her winrate increases as time goes on generally.

no. she is actually really balanced

She seems.... adequate.

I'd place her as inferior to Lucian, Jhin and Ezreal, so that pretty much means she's garbage.

Agreed. IF one of the 2 champions is a tad too strong I feel that it's Rakan. And that's debatable.

If your dying to xayah, it means you didnt sidestep, the return hitbox on her e is smaller then kleds q, and that hitbox is fucking small

I'm halfway inclined to agree, but only in the respect that her damage is just a little too high - other than that, the only glaring issue I can see with her is just how quickly three Feathers can appear with her Double Daggers + AA combo, which, while that could just be me being unskilled as hell, I think it's way too easy for her to chunk someone down in an instant with that.

But, barring damage ratios and (what I see as) inane speed with Q+AA, she's fairly balanced, just a little over the line.

My only gripe is how deceptively good she is.

Her auto attacks suck, her Q sucks, her extra damage from the passive sucks.

And then she presses E.

I don't think it's fair to have a champion mislead on their damage contribution capability.

How to beat xayah: 1.side step her E 2.kill her

It isn't rocket science,her whole kit is about her E, everything is revolved around it. She is short ranged, none mobile, squishy carry who's only strength is her burst, thats what she's good at, if you cant dodge the feathers, thats on you.

Wait 3 months and they will nerf her after LCS use just like every new champion. I think that Rakan is way stronger and brings more to his team than her.

xayah is a ad syndra, an auto atk ad mage with no mobility
