Idea for Xin Zhao Q

Now seems like a good time to talk about it, since people are saying that it's bugged. You know how his pop up is supposed to become available after you land two auto attacks while his Q is active? Why not have his pop up become available after any 2 attacks, including his E and R? Just imagine for a moment how that works. You activate Q, you dash into 5 enemy champs, you ult away all but one champ, and you pop up the remaining champion.

Now imagine that you're sitting in a brush. You see an enemy champion enter your jungle. Your teammates are close by. So you activate Q as they enter your brush, walk behind the intruder, ult them into your team, dash after them, then pop them up.

The downside is, Xin's Q enhances auto attack damage and lowers the cooldowns of his abilities with each auto attack, so if you use his abilities to gain access to his pop up, that extra damage and CDR would be going to waste. So yes, it is a strategic choice.

I don't think his Q should make his E and/or R pop up opponents.

TLDR Xin's Q should count his E and R towards the first two of his three talons strike.

Xin's E actually procs his Q knockup under normal conditions. It's awesome for finishing out your clear at Blue/Gromp.

Allowing his E and R to count towards 3 talon strike is a little bit broken, but wouldn't change a whole ton for Xins running high attack speed. It doesn't take a whole ton for a Xin to land a second proccing strike, and if you've wasted your gap close to initiate a gank or fight, that's your own fault, and the enemy laner should be able to get away.
