Hi, I'm from the future, Xayah will be nerfed.

Yeah, I'm super glad they increased the visibility and duration of those rend feathers, they just cover the teamfight and get covered up by other particle effects, so you're not sure sometimes if you'll end up rooted.
Also, that -5 base AD nerf was necessary /s, as was the removal of the mechanic where if she was with Rakan the bonus on-hit damage from each of them would increased to 40% instead of the 20% with any other support.
The damage from the feathers should be toned down, It's almost as if Xayah was an Assassin.
I do think it needs to be toned down, but beyond damage tweaks it's also very very hard to avoid right now. If they improved that then the damage issue would be less. Right now she just sprays it wherever and then presses W or E when threatened.
It's also very hard to tell when you'll get rooted vs nothing happening, and with passive+W and Q she can almost guarantee a root whenever she has cds.
Them having lowered the ground duration already was a good start.
Who wins the next super bowl?
OP said she'd be nerfed, not that it'd take almost a year to nerf her. She's an ADC not Ivern :P
