Why, in the f*ck, did they buff Xin?

Seriously Rito... he's an oppressive early game right clicker champion, that has almost no counterplay whatsoever if he's even slightly ahead.... and that was BEFORE you buffed the FUCK out of him!

WTF WERE YOU GUYS THINKING!? He's absolutely fucking ridiculous now! Not only is there even less counterplay, but now you can't even fight him as ANY melee champion if he's ahead cause he heals as much as fucking Aatrox but also gets a fucking auto CRIT!? Jesus fucking christ you guys, you really fucked up with this one...

Every bronze bitch who can't do anything more then right click are probably loving this.... but seriously, fucking nerf that shit if you're not going to admit you FUCKED UP and made him OP as shit!

Wait they buffed him? He's banned nearly every game for me, but I thought they nerfed his ap ratios? Maybe I missed it

Riot thought they were gonna be hilarious so they made it so his Q would be a guaranteed crit on the third strike. Where he used to have to be obscenely fed (10/0 by 15 minutes) to 3 shot someone, he can now go 0/5 and outduel anyone in 3 shots. It's wonderful!

No thats not right. It is on his w, so every third hit heals and crits.

And they added additional 0.4 bonus AD scaling to his heal on top of already existing AP ratios. It's like what the fck, now Guinsoo makes him even stronger that before.

Compared to Shyvana xin is just average. Xin is good but nothing too crazy

Xin has more often a gapcloser. This feels annyoing to me. Tanky AND does an insane amount of burst damage

Count ZubatMar 5, 20162 votes

Except Xin has ganking potential, while Shyvana can only farm, eventually counter gank and getting ult as Shyvana helps only a bit in ganking. And after last Xin buffs, I'm not even sure if she still outscales him, that stronger heal and additional critical strike he got are just overpowered right now.

Every Xin I've seen since rework just feeds Why? Because they think Go devourer and rush rage blade Xin is the same as he was pre buff, either get fed as fuck early and carry or be completely useless He's feast or famine and always will be

Nah they mostly feed because they rush into 1 v 3s or 1 v 5s and expect to not turn into mincemeat or they don't wait for enemies to blow cc before engaging into fights and proceed to get cc chained and then killed.

I don't think they're going to admit they fucked up.

They never do.

All they do is fuck up so i'm not surprised they are ashamed of admitting it. But they believe they have a monopoly on MOBA's so why should they give a fuck right? Fuck u riot :).

THESuperStuntManMar 5, 20162 votes

They buffed him because he was garbage and underperforming. Some people like playing him so they tried to make him more viable. Granted, they went too far, but they nerfed him again afterwards and they're nerfing devourer next patch, so he shouldn't be a huge problem.

LuggMar 5, 20162 votes

This was by far the stupidest buff Riot has ever done. Xin was already strong any way you looked at it.

YCitizenSnipsYMar 5, 20162 votes

People complain when Riot doesn't buff underplayed champions. Riot seeming randomly picks Xin who was very underplayed before the buff, and buffs him. Now people complain. They cycle of QQ continues.

TacB VIPEREYEMar 6, 20162 votes

Maybe they should of actually did some work and reworked him and made his kit interesting fun and um FAIR!!?? But that would be to much to ask wouldn't it.

Now all the noobs can just press button's and win. Who cares what order they are in or what they do....just press buttons win, slam you're face on the fucking keyboard, ANN FRANK, ROTFL get LP.

foinhasMar 6, 20161 votes

the real problem is that warding now sucks, which means xin has the time of his life in the early game. Play safe and force teamfights in mid game. Xin sucks at those.

EcchiOtakuTMMar 5, 20161 votes

It's not an issue that they wanted to give him AD ratios finnally. it's more of an issue that they buffed him without compensation nerfs the first time. He's fine now.

Yasuo has bush instead.

I think they should make a skin called camouflage Yasuo with a birds nest on his head

They nerfed him last patch

Xin is still trash. See everyone else for better examples of bad balancing. There are champions ripe for being gutted that have been waiting since the season started.

I'm in bronze and I have yet to see a Xin that didn't feed his ass off or get completely dominated even after getting his sated rageblade.

And most of these were before his nerfs.

Br4ndonMar 5, 20161 votes

I wouldn't care about Xin's damage if his ganks weren't so potent. Every gank is almost guaranteed to be successful whether it be a summoner or a kill.

TacB VIPEREYEMar 6, 20161 votes

I actually agree with you. Champions with crap mechanics shouldn't be powerful...period. Can we get a seperate patch that nerfs garbage for players who have played over 500 hrs of league please and thank you?

foinhasMar 6, 20161 votes

He was buffed because he's nearly useless in teamfights. Was it the right buff? maybe not
