I love Xayah!

Alright, so these boards need a bit of positivity.

I wanted to thank everyone who worked on this champion, who has become my favorite League of Legends champion. I've been playing since Season 3, and she's the champion I've had the most fun playing along with Lee Sin, which I used to main until Season 6 (it gets a bit old after over 800 games with a single champion).

I'm by no way an ADC main, in fact, I main jungle, but whenever I want to do something else than playing jungle, I play Xayah. She's an ADC with actual outplay potential and skill expression, looks and sounds great and is really fun to play.

She relies a lot on positioning and feather placement, but actually landing a root with a lot of damage is really rewarding. She's a champion that actually feels strong, but is not overpowered either and has clear counterplay.

Overall, in my honest opinion, she's one of the best champions designed by Riot, and probably the ADC with the best design, so thank you for creating a character that feels so amazing to play.

Still think she has an overloaded kit

oh yes, xayah is one of those champs that will always be 'fun to play as, cancer to play against.' there's nothing more frustrating that spending all laning phase avoiding her feather minigame only to actually land cc, which she just has the freedom to ult out of.

ever land a snare? she can cancel it. its just LOADS of fun to wind up an entire combo that should land but inherently misses because of the cc break.[sg-janna]

She’s very strong and safe. IMO not necessarily the best balanced.

Remember her original VO lines?

I very much like Xayah as well. Her burst and root can feel a bit much, but overall she feels fair to play against, and manages to do awesome and unique things without requiring her power to be spread out across half a dozen different mechanics. She has clear strengths and weaknesses, and as a result I think she stands out far better on her own than many other champions who got all of their release hype for just themselves.

I mean outside of Lucian before he got nerfed after abusing every item in the game she is the only generalist adc left in the game who is good at everything and a master at it too. Let´s hope the new ADC wont be like her so they arent the thing everyone picks when they aren`t going for a certain niche.

Rakan, too. Legitimately the most balanced thing I think I've ever seen Riot release in my time playing this game, and they got 2 at once.
