^ Yep. But still, 15% armor reduction is even better than 15% armor penetration because it works for the whole team instead of being a selfish stat. That's why armor became such a useless stat against champions like Xin. His passive + Black Cleaver is deadly, armor gets shredded to pieces and the AD carry still builds LW to top it off.

That said, I don't think Xin is even close to being overpowered. He's not even as strong as Jarvan or Vi, who fit in a similar role but with better all-round performace. The real problem with Xin is that he's as easy to play as it gets. It's that simple. He has no skillshots and no issues with diving, chasing and disengaging in teamfights. He literally just points and clicks. Any low elo kid can pick Xin and stomp with him, the same way a high elo player can. Pretty much the reason for all the QQ lately. The less skill a champion requires the better odds a person has to not fail with him. And that's why Singed, Garen, Taric or Xin have win rates off the charts. They are just... too easy to play.
