I am fine with the attack speed decrease, but not the AP ratio Decrease when instead of killing a whole build on Xin Zhao, using AP items like nashors and deathcap to heal, you can nerf the item guinsoos and sated a bit? Champion builds dont need to die out when they gain power, because the items are what give a champion power.

Without guinsoos, the AP Xin Zhao was in a fine stat, with high sustain and good assassination, but laking in teamfight, so decrease the power of guinsoo so with he still cant teamfight as well, no killing the AP ratio so he can't do ANYTHING now.

This was one of the only off-meta builds that still really worked, but there goes another thing that has been taken away. Next patch, bring back my boy AP Xin, just a bit stronger than he is now, because unlike other out of the meta builds, this one shouldn't die.

It wasn't a complete nerf, all they did was take off a bit of his power on his first gank and a bit of his mid-game.

Before the buff to 70%, the ratio was 50%. Now it's 40%, but with a 20% AD scaling. This is worth much more than the missing 10% AP due to actually granting power on AAs. His W will now CRIT as well, so comboed with Three Talon Strike, he will knockup, crit, and heal. He can still solo towers and Baron as well, but he will need a full/almost full build instead of the item 3124 item 3931 item 3115 . Still viable. Just learn to adapt.

Agreed.

First they gave AD scaling to his healing, and strong healing was for AP Xin, not AD Xin. You used to build AP if your objective was healing up.

And then they nerf the AP scaling.

So now AP Xin is still as garbage as before for dealing damage, but it's outclassed in its own job by regular/rageblade xin.

Xin was alive and well for 3 weeks and now back to the depths where he belongs.

you can nerf the item guinsoos and sated a bit?

Nerfing two items because Xin is doing too well with them isn't a very elegant solution to the problem. That introduces way more issues than nerfing Xin's AP ratio.

Unfortunately I doubt that'll happen, and xin is just going to suffer more and more cuz that E luck. He's gotta get rid of that weapon before anything good happens to him.
