There are numerous champions that you can say smash keyboard with face for penta, Katarina, Kennen, Yi for example. Xin has a nice synergy with both dps and tanky items and fits the role of bruiser very well. His ult is the most skillful thing about him, one that can change the outcome of teamfights with its timing and precision.

Apart from that he is lacking anything beyond click enemy with E, kill enemy with autos, so i do agree that while the kit can be fairly bland in its approach to engagements, again there are multiple champions that fit the bill, mostly older ones. Malphite >ult carry, slow them and stand there waiting for cooldowns. Amumu> ult as many people as possible, chase people around crying.

But what he does, he does well; He can isolate an opponent, tank the frontline damage and threaten even kity champs like kalista, with his short cooldown dash and CC. To change him to do something more, you need to nerf his ability to do this.

His splash was updated once already, there isn't really anything wrong with his animations, they just might not be as flashy as some newer people. Everything is relative and you have to ask, who is even worse than Xin and in more need of an update? The obvious champs being Poppy, Taric, Galio, Yorick, Warwick, Urgot. Less gameplay and more visually obvious ones being like Udyr, Pantheon, Amumu, Blitz, Shen and probably some more I'm forgetting.

Would I welcome some changes on him? Sure, sounds great, his autos do feel a bit clunky. Is he in need of a touchup more than a dozen other champs? No, the very fact you see him once every 6-7 games is testament to that. I actually can't remember the last time I saw a Yorick.
