I cant think of any ideas, but i honestly feel like there is so much room for xin to have a bit of unique mechanics with his challenge. What do you all think? A xin rework with empathis on his challenge? Tell me if you get any good ideas!
Hrm....
Maybe they can pull a page out of Kindred and allow the Xin player to "challenge" a target champ, and then pull another page from Garen's Villainy to allow Xin Zhao certain bonuses against said champ and no one else. Gives Xin extra power while making it abundantly clear that he was to jump and destroy THAT guy, no one else which allows the enemy team to play around it. Effect would need to scale with level or ult ranks, as to not be oppressive in lanes.
Would help solidify Xin as a diving champ, and seems like it'd work with his kit. 3 Talon Strike provides window of opportunity to peel Xin before he CC's his target (maybe 3 Talon Strike should work like Morde's current Q instead with ramping damage, and let Morde get something else to help address his own problems), while his ult can be used to make some room for him to take his target down.
no.
I have something in the area of 56k champ points on Xin. One reason I've really stopped using Xin is that diving at an enemy with Xin is pretty easy. Find an approach you feel comfortable with and dash in. Xin Zhao even receives some defensive stats for ulting and knocking back enemies that aren't challenged. Once you've killed your target you either continue to attack enemies or run and this is where I find an issue. Xin can reliably enter and knock back enemies but has no escape. The addition of a movement speed buff if Xin Zhao kills his challenged target would allow for him to bail after killing an opponent or keep the ball rolling until his dash is off CD.
When he ults it should also make a thing around him like J4's ult so he can actually fight his one challenged opponent in an arena. He does say, "To the arena!" Why not make it more true if you also want to make his challenge more important?

Not based on his Passive, but a really nice rework idea that would give Xin's play style more variety.
