Xin Zhao Rework Suggestions from a Main, Just hear me out Rito :3

Passive- Challenge

Xin Zhao's basic attacks and Blade Salvo steal 17% of his target's resistances for 3 seconds and refreshing with every attack. [Additional targets struck do not stack resistance buff]. Everytime Xin Knocks Up, Slows or Knocksback an enemy with one of his abilities he gains 3/6/9% max enemy health bonus physical damage at lvls 1/7/13 respectively.

Q- Blade Salvo "Think like a version of Pantheon's E" Range 480 units

Xin Zhao thrusts 5 quick jabs at target area dealing bonus physical dmg on each hit. [These hits can critically strike] Xin is still able to move but his movement speed is reduced while channeling Q. (Much like vi's E) Each hit reduces the cooldown of his other abilities by 0.5 seconds [2.5secs max.] But Q crits reduces it by 1 second per hit. [5seconds max.]

W- Rising Talon "Very thematic name, don't you think?"

(Passive) Every Third hit Xin heals for a flat amount plus a portion of his ability power. (Active) Xin's next basic attack Knocks his target up in the air for 1.3 seconds dealing them minor damage and increase his attack speed for a short duration.

E- Audacious Charge

Xin dashes forward dealing magic dmg to each target hit (it is now a skillshot dash like Shen's E) and slows all enemies hit for a short time. The magic dmg that Audacious Charge deals can criticall strike (Much like Anivia's E or 's proc)

R- Crescent Sweep (Fix)

instead of gaining resistaces xin Zhao reduces the dmg of targets hit by Crescent Sweep by 25/30/35% for 5 seconds. Everything else unchanged :)

BIO: Now I haven't played Xin for a while but I usta play him a lot back in the day, he's still one of my favourite fighters his design, lore and martial artist with a spear fantasy all really grasped me and other lol players who are also martial art fans. Though I feel his to self cast buffs don't really offer a whole lot lot to that fantasy of a spear fighting character and is a shame because like he has a lot of potential. Congratz on the Shen rework btw.. I love it. Anyways Xin Zhao should give the summoner more things to do, one think I liked about shen for a very long time know was the freedon of use and versatility of his skillshot dash I find this would open a lot more opporutinites and techniques for the summoner (such as dashing over walls) while also opening counter play towards the enemy as the can dodge it and not get knocked up almost instantaneously right before getting melted.

As a spear champion I love the idea of quick jabs in succession to his target piercing throw their armor and dealing dmg but his old Q and W actives seemed like a failed attempt on that fantasy so I improvised. I always loved the idea of pantheons E and love to look at it (only on Dragon Panth skin tho) I also realized we are lacking champs with such a feature also it's use on pantheon is a bit clunky as he has to stun the target to get most of his dmg off. So allowing xin to still move just at a slower to allow for a more fluid gameplay while adding more focus and emphasis to the use of Xin Zhao's new Q.

I've always love Xin's and I always will. It's the only ability that give the summoner 100% control of and his only ability currently that can miss. I just changed it to reduce his targets dmg to give him more teamfight utility (as fighters should have, for exapmlr Fiora aoe heal) so he can be of even greater use to his allies and move the resistance gain to his passive in the for of a steal effect that I find very thematic as he is still piercing his target's resistances while becoming more durable in battle. As Viscero slayer of 300 should be xD
