Xin Zhao is way over tuned

I think he needs nerfed his 1v1 potential is way to high considering his team fight contribution. He literally has everything he needs to take down anyone. Gap closer that slows check, knock up check, ranged dmg denying aoe check, self heal check. Like he has no real weakness other than getting camped and even then you are wasting a ton of resources to shut him down but he can always come back. Xin needs nerfed. Get rid of his slow or make it weaker or make the gap closer shorter.

Xin's probably a bit too strong atm, but given he's been a joke champ for so long, I'm honestly ok with it. The game needs more viable anti-ranged champs these days.

His early and mid game damage, healing, AND his attack speed are already objectively weaker than before his rework, and his late game is slightly better. If you don't want him to get strong late game, shutting him down early is the solution, the same way you did before his rework. Even in the late game, proper use of CC still shuts him down very quickly.

You don't "waste" any more resources on him than you do against any other carry champion. Enumerating his strengths like you did in your post doesn't mean he doesn't have weaknesses.

The only reason he even has a "high" win rate now is because he literally dropped from a 6% play rate just after his rework came out, down to a 2.45% play rate, which is lower than his pre-rework play rate of 4%.

Xin Zhao is fine.
