According to Riot they want Xin to feel like he is using a spear
So why not act like he actually has a spear. Give him the longest Melee auto attack range to reflect that and adjust his kit from there.

You know what?
I just want the spear wielder, the historically longest melee weapon, to NOT TELEPORT INTO MY CHAMPION'S MODEL WHEN HE DASHES.
That's all I wanted for him when it comes to gameplay updates. To not feel violated every time he jumps me just on positioning/visuals. The only champions who know each other better than Xin gets to know EVERYONE are Ashe/Trynd and Rakan/Xayah. Illaoi and Gangplank maybe, but it's been years since they were an item and Xin just GETS RIGHT UP IN THERE JEGUS CHRIST RIOT. [sg-janna]
Maybe cause then he'll crush most melee matchups without even trying. Attack range is a very powerful stat.
But look what happened to 
. She lacks the sniper theme but has large auto range
Wind becomes Lightning right up the anus.
