Xin Zhao's rework is the first rework i find truly satisfying in staying true to its roots

It's magnificent! I've mained Xin on and off since Season 2, and where Fiora, Taric and Mordekaiser's reworks were GOOD, but never GREAT.

######we dont talk about rengar's rework here

Xin's new kit is PERFECT. While he does have some uncomfortable quirks, all in all he kept the things that made him fun before the rework while he recieved features that truly fulfill his fantasy of a gladiator diver. While he is overall a weaker duelist, he is now a good teamfighter! He has also been given a clearer identity when it comes to build path - being much more bonus AD reliant, which opens him up to a lot of items he previously couldnt afford to get because they would leave him too squishy to be a reliable front line.

Thank you for this. I know he is probably going to get hit with a couple nerfs in a patch or two, but still - that W is EXTREMELY satisfying to use and the new Q visuals look dazzling.

I would like the tip of his d... um spear to do more damage than the slash and not less. Because it is pretty useless vs champs when you do more with an auto attack, and you don't do much damage with just the tip.

XinZhao "Here's a tip and a spear behind it!" Jinx

Uh... I think you've mistaken something. The stab does MONSTROUSLY much higher damage than the slash. Where at spell level 5 the slash deals 70 + 30% AD, the stab does 170 +85% AD.

I haven't played him, but I don't know if a minirework or change counts? Idk I am just thinking of recent complete redos like Ryze, Gali, Urgot, Eve.
