Xayah is actually too strong

Shes a jack of all trades in all situations. Literally unbeatable unless you completely shut her out before lvl 5. Stands far above all of the other adcs, which is a reason sneaky is picking her in worlds every game he can.

Her waveclear is nutty

Her damage is nutty early, and it scales very well

Her build path is god tier with essence reaver

she kites SO hard

She has a get out of jail free card

she has a easy to land stun (root as ive been corrected but its whatever, if it lands you die almost invariably due to the stupid damage it does too)

If she gets paired with rakan she has zero counterplay.

Probably the only adc id agree with the "adcs are op" tirade going on in this boards rn.

Xayah doesn't have a stun it's a root.

Xayah is a good ADC but when I think of broken ADC Xayah does not come to mind. I'm more worried about Tristana, Twitch, Caitlyn in 7.19 etc... Xayah is still very vulnerable without her support for much of the game. Her lane is also very mana hungry for an ADC.

Late game Xayah is a very hard carry, but not nearly as oppressive as Twitch, or old Caitlyn(new Caitlyn to), or Tristana. Her AA range is still shorter than most ADC, she doesn't get 650 range, or a dash, or a knockback, or stealth, or traps, or an 850 range AoE ult.

She also has 0 mobility in her kit. Which doesn't really matter in the meta that we're currently in, BUT... Just wait for the meta to shift back to hypermobile/lane bully carries with killfishing supports and you'll be surprised how quickly she will plummet out of popularity. Her root is also extremely easy to dodge if you're paying a bit of attention, respect her positioning, and aren't trying to directly bumrush her with a melee champion like you would any other adc.

She also sucks at punishing poor positioning unless you already have feathers set up and is incredibly immobile. A bad Xayah is easy to beat.

She is an ADC who can abuse ADC Itemisation, so DUH of course shes super strong...
