classic riot taking a really smooth and cohesive kit in xin and completely shitting on it, feels so clunky to play now and the animations are fucking hilariously bad. Another level 7 champ that ill never touch again, too bad.

He's just another generic AD caster now that can blow one person up, and then dies instead of the late game drain tank he's supposed to be. Before you could go tank, bruiser or ad, now you can only go ad and maybe bruiser if your team has a lot of damage, but its suboptimal.

its hilarious that you can't AA while W is being cast it feels like you're playing a shitty version of kayn or something, WHY GIVE AN AA BASED CHAMP A LONG ANIMATION ABILITY THAT STOPS AAs LOL

I watched few Dominate's games on xin today, he looked kind of all right. Also both AS and AD builds worked for him, however, I agree that he feels suboptimal with tank items

Yeah, I wasn't correct, sorry. W second might be even be right for PBE Eve, but it's so hard to know with how awkward the current kit feels. Leveling W actually gets you several things: range, 10% mr shred, 16s cd goes to 10s cd, +200 monster damage, +1s charm duration. But the WQ pairing itself is so awkward to use and none of that changes when skilling it up. Now, on your point about the range, range is useful if you've got good movespeed bonuses and are in the process of rotating/flanking someone. It lets you charge W early rather than walking up to them and then starting the W. But that's literally the only use I've found for extra range because camo lets you sneak up to level 1 W range anyways.

(another thing I got wrong: there is an indicator for your ultimate that tells you when they're below 30%... but, especially early game, that doesn't mean that they will die. So it's kind of not actually useful.)

I don't bother with Redmercy, but Moon was playing PBE Eve today and he had some good thoughts. He said he would play it again tomorrow but seemed a little cheesed when he signed off.

Anyways, the kit is slightly frustrating to play in so many small ways you kind of have to experience it yourself.

How is the kit clunkier when they just moved his old W active to E and passive to his well passive. If it's that bad just dont use W and you have old Xin without armor shred but with a better ultimate in return.

New way to play Xin is to just build AD and kill towers with a single Q.
