Something about Xin Zhao that always bothered me
Tl;DR: Why isn't 
a more "gladiatorial" kind of character/champion?
It was what I consider to be the "unfulfilled fantasy" of to be this amazing gladiator of unparalleled glory. As shown in the splash art for his "Viscero" Skin.
He's supposed to be able to take on countless foes, according to his lore. (Now granted, this may be considered his OLD lore, due to the recent Demacia Universe update)
In it, it says something like this:
"Years ago, Noxus was renowned for a spectacle called the Fleshing. It was a gladiatorial event with a cruel twist: as a fighter won matches, his number of opponents (generally prisoners of war) fought simultaneously would increase. This meant eventual death for every contender, but with unparalleled glory. Xin Zhao, known then as Viscero, was slated to face 300 soldiers, nearly six times the previous record.
Now, pay attention to that one particular line: Face 300 soldiers
However, with him being classified as a Diver now (You can check the Champion Sub-Class list if you're unaware: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/3A5uuBw7-champion-subclass-list ) one would probably think that such an awesome-sounding prospect would belong more to a Juggernaut/Vanguard/Warden-type of champion, am I right?
Now, before you jump to conclusions, I am NOT suggesting that be changed to a Juggernaut, Warden or Vanguard. And I wouldn't know what to suggest as possible ideas for changes to to realize this "unfulfilled fantasy" of his character. It's just something I noticed and wondered why it didn't FEEL like it was part of his kit/design.
If you've read this far, thanks for reading my thoughts on this subject, and GL and HF in your games!
