Riot, please give Xin Zhao a horse

#AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

No.

The question would be how they could include it into his kit. Because I kinda can't imagine Xin being on his horse the whole time. It'd have to be part of a new skill or be just used for a recall animation.

Honestly, with the way his kit functions, I prefer him being a foodsoldier and martial artist over riding a horse. You would have to rework his entire kit to realise that, most likely also going to completely rip off his in-game identity, which would be weird, since Xin Zhao does not have so glaring issues in his current kit that it would be justified to completely replace it.

Maybe they can give him a homeguard or recall animation with a horse, but that should be it for me.

I cant see xin zhao on a horse to be honest (yes I know he has a spear, it's just hard for me to see)

Here's a compromise: If there's Hecarim on Xin's team, Xin should be able to ride him.

Eh there are better ways to make Xin Zhao than tacking a decidedly mundane animal under him JUST because he's riding a horse in one of his splash arts. Seems contrived is all...

Especially considering that we have more interesting mounts already in the game with Skaarl, Valor and Willump. You want Xin to be mounted fine, but let's do something better than a horse at the least.

Heroes in Dota2 that ride something Chaos Knight KotL Mirana Luna Disruptor Abaddon Chen Batrider

Most of them are only for aesthetics and really don't have any abilities that scream, "must be riding something" It can be done, just don't think it's leagues style

Warring Kingdoms skin, you're welcome.

At least make it like vayne's motorcycle for warring kingdoms, Zhao Yun needs his steed, same with Lu Bu and whoever Vi is

New ultimate?

Xin Zhao summons his horse gaining movement speed (scaling with Bonus ad) and a shield (scaling with Bonus hp) for 8sec.

While riding: Q: Xin Zhao thrusts his spear in a straight line slowing first target hit and leaving a mark. W: Marked champions or large monsters, when in range, Xin Zao can flip target any direction a small distance. E: Xin Zhao's horse jumps forward pushing all enemy units aside. 2 charges per ult. Can be used to jump small walls. R: Xin zao dismounts becoming stunned for 1 sec

This is just a thought, i take any constructive criticism. Do mind i write this 02:41 and im tired
