As a long-time AP Xin player, I was mildly annoyed at the "buff" last patch that expanded the gap in his slow at 45% CDR from 0.5 seconds to 1.6 seconds in the EWQ-E combo. And now AP has been fully gutted even though the jump in his win rate has nothing to do with his AP ratios. Hell, nobody even built Xin full AD even though they were buffing AD to make it compete with the AP, tank, and bruiser builds.

I felt no difference in my Devourer+Rageblade games between 6.2 and 6.3 from the crit change, and the slow gap made him go from an amazing Kalista counter to just another champ she can kite to oblivion. IMO, the only major change in 6.3 was that Xin caught the eye of junglers as a viable pick again. Now AP straight up has less healing than AD when the choice between the two has always been big damage at the expense of sustain VS mediocre damage until 3 items but infinite sustain against low CC.
