Do people really consider Xayah balanced?

She does seem a little overpowered to me. I don't mind the fact that she deals such an enormous amount of damage but her ult makes her unkillable, especially late game. Is it just me or she needs to be toned down a little bit? What do you guys think?

If anything, she's probably on the weak side.

Whats overpowered about Xayah? lol

Her feathers are telegraphed, and her ult has a high af cd for a long time unless she builds max cdr.

She is definitely over powered but im pretty sure Riot is going to nerf her

More people need to play her. She will get nerfed once sales trickle.

She might be a bit strong but I don't see the need to instantly outcast her so we just instantly go back to the same old tired stuff.

She's only truly op if Rakan is her support, I've never had a problem against her unless Rakan's her support.

I think the best barometer for the perception of her balance is looking at the Boards. Very few posts about her being too strong, very few posts about her being too weak. That's the best you can hope for on a champion's release.

Two things.

I only feel like she's great with Rakan. Rakan provides the perfect style of peel for her as well as her providing him the means to go in deep since he can zip right back out. Without him, she seems to lack.
She's an ADC that works on peel. She needs to set up the battlefield with feathers before she can do anything special, aside from the usual autoattacks. This takes time, and seems to severely limit her support pool to champions that provide heavy peel. Her ult is only one, long CD answer, to one engage. After that, she needs a support, or the strength in her kit diminishes since people can avoid feathers through positioning.

I think she is on the weak side. She doesn't have the late game power and range of the other crit adcs like ashe cait and sivir, she's not great at dueling or burst like the other other spell caster adcs like lucian or corki. She has a defined niche with kiting, but it's hard to set up and position since she doesn't have mobility.

her laning is bad and she has almost no escape. if she turns around to hit them with her feathers she gets smacked. She can't root them unless they're in her range. If her opponent dodges her feathers, she does pretty much no damage.
