Can we do something about Xin Zhao?

I'm not yelling for nerfs or anything, but I've always seen him to be extremely op, so I tried him out a while ago, and he is just so.. point-and-click, boring to use, such little counterplay.. and honestly, seems unfun for both the player and the enemy. I saw him slated for a rework quite some time ago, has there been anything about that recently? Just think about how many times he jumps on you and bursts you down within a few seconds. It would be nice to add just a little bit of counterplay to him..

Same here, for some reason every player I see playing him tends to do very well. Easy champion with low skill cap? Or just overpowered?

xin is just very strong at early... easy to gank with e....

xin is also snowballer... if xin do well then he would be monster at mid-game to make them to surrender... he might be fell late... depend on how smart enemy is...

Xin's kind of a relic of when Riot tried to make melee carries by smacking everything they could on them (tankiness, damage, engage, etc.). Based on current fighter thoughts (Juggernaut, Diver, and Light Fighter / Duelist), he'd probably fit comfortably in the Diver role with a few tweaks. He's definitely point-and-click heavy, but that's just how it was back when he was made. I'm not really sure how he could be fixed to be honest though. I feel like if his E was just a dash then he would end up being too mobile.
