I dont think Xin is the problem i think the Items hes buying are.

Seriously though what does he buy?

We know he likes Sated devourer and Guinsoos really meshes well with him. These items on other champs produce nearly the same results if not better ones on champs like say Jax/Yi for example.

Put Sated and GUinsoos and Jax or Yi and i guarantee you they will be far FAR worse than Xin and will probably out duel him any day. I don't believe Xin is too strong i think the items hes buying just mesh extremely well with his playstyle however those same items very easily put Jax and Yi in a whole nother level which tells me that the Items themselves are really strong and combine to make something fearsome.

i disagree. Jax maybe because of his ulti with free stats yi hell no. The real issue with Xin is he has a short cooldown on his dash with a really nice knock up on top of that he can push everyone aside to assassinate a target making it 4v5 in the worst case scenario where as he can just tank/sustain through the rest of their damage while criting people freely. You can say cc him but hes more of a bruiser assassin like what iralia is and damn good at it. idk why riot thinks this is healthy game play with its currently not.

Janna can completely lock him out and shes a pretty popular pick.

Nami can also lock him out too same with Lulu.

People with hard CC can prevent him from getting anywhere and then just taking him down. People are literally claiming he has super OP now but he still has all the same problems he had before except for his W was slightly changed. That W change was IMO not enough to put him over so the only other thing i can think of is the itemization has made him stronger but before these W changes he wasn't considered that great. He was good. But not great.

i still disagree when i see xin's every game snowballing from lane to lane and just reking people. By 10 minutes hes 8-0 without getting a single kill from me. There is a issue right now.

If he is running around wrecking lanes then it probably means your team is doing something wrong.

The only thing i can think of that may be the biggest issue is Sated proccing the heal every other hit instead of every 3 hits.

Seriously literally nothing has changed about him except his W getting mini crits and his heal gaining a pathetic ad scaling. That leaves the items being the only thing left thats causing the problem.
