Yes, you do need to say more. You haven't provided any argument at all.

Generally if you want to create a solid case, more than 1 line of text is helpful.

Fair point. I guess its mainly because I own at Xin Zhao in his current state. He requires patience to achieve this. If riot keeps buffing champs because not everyone can be good at them then it takes the skill out of the game which is what I love about it. His w works fine. If you main Xin you know what to do and don't need riot making you work another 6 months or however long remastering a champ for the sake of a few people who don't play him right.

"Xin being fine" is independent of him getting work.

Xin is too straightforward so when he's strong at low/med tiers he's still not very useful at higher tiers. I'm personally hoping they do something like they did for Garen recently with Xin.

Something to raise his ceiling but not affect his floor that much.

Thanks guys for leaving strong comments.. it shows you care. Probably it's just the fear that I won't be able to or might lose the ability to Master an altered Xin. My favorite champ as is. Guess I need to get over it since it happens to all the champs eventually.

Np. Bro. Xin was part of the original roster I prepped for ranked back in season 4 so he's pretty nostalgic and dear to me. I wouldn't worry too much about mastering new Xin; they seem to be getting better as of late with resonating with the mains (they have had reminder champs though like Rengar). Just make sure you give clear feedback when they ask for it/give us a chance to give it.

I'm sure you've probably seen Meddler's recent comment, but here it is in case:

We expect he'll get one eventually. We talked about him as a possibility for next year however and concluded there were other champs who needed a VGU more. That meant that a smaller update for Xin made sense, given there's definite improvement possible working within most of the constraints of the current kit and a VGU's at least 1.5 years away. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/fIoAxAOe-reav3-so-why-isnt-xin-zhou-getting-a-vgu?comment=0001

I think its more like the case w/ jax/voli/WW in that he is outdated, his abilities have very little skill expression aside from getting his passive armor reduction on the right person and the insec potential with his ult.

I'm not saying that he should be all skillshots or anything but he is just very binary in that if he's ahead he'll dash to the target knock up w/ 3rd q and kill them, if behind they'll probably get away without him being able to do much to stop them, very similar to old Warwick (aside from WW's dependence on his ult) if ahead he gets the kill if behind he gets cc'd/kited to death
