Xin Zhao suggestion to his Pre 6 insane power (vote in poll)

Now before you start hating and downvoting, i am not saying that this isn't good. Given the state of current top lane monsters like garen, darius, fiora ect, it is only fair that he is strong aswell, the problem begins when he has the power to destroy bot lane even without itemization to do so. Xin coming out of the jungle is one of the scariest things to face in game. Whether he builds warrior, cinderhulk or devourer, xin can obliterate adc's with his combo before they can react to his gank. His gap closer, attack speed buff and knock up, make it insanely hard to avoid him and escape with your life.

Also i must mention that most xin junglers i have faced so far, like to gank lanes at very low levels and it becomes hard to deal with, as a lvl 3 xin zhao has all the tools he needs to make your life a nightmare. So what i am saying is that xin must have some sort of nerf coming out of the jungle, tio weaken his ganks before he can actually reach lvl 6.

So a suggestion could be that his w heal is taken from his w and put to his r. This way, he will have a harder time clearing camps before 6. This will not allow xin players to overlevel bot lane and thus will have to think twice before he ganks. This will buy time to bot laners, so when xin is lvl 6, bot laners will also be 6 and they will be able to have more tools to fight him.

I know xin players will hate this but it may be the only way to balance him and allow bot laners to have a way out of this nightmare. In return, xin could get an alternative buff on his dmg or tankiness that will still allow him to fight in top lane without his pre 6 heal, and not get too low from cleaning jungle camps.

I want to hear what the community thinks about this suggestion.

His heal off w was already nerfed to compensate for the sated devourer. I think he was the only champ to get it, and it was specifically targeted to deal with AP xin though that is probably the least common xin build I see. Early jungle already nerfed, doesn't need more. Melee AA champ with no escape.
