User blog comment:TheTobarMethod/Why Xin Zhao isnt as OP as you think ;)/@comment-109.121.4.78-20121027122708

Xin WAS retardedly overpowered a while ago. I started this game right when vayne was added into the game (a year and a half) and all I can say that he was a beast back then. From full HP to dead he needed only 3-4 seconds or in some cases even less.

But gradually RIOT staff nerfed him bit by bit. But they overdone it at some point when people stopped playing him. He lacked that "something" to make him viable in higher skill games.

They reworked him and now he is viable to some point. The only thing I hate about him is his learning curve, well it is not curve, it is more of a flat line.

So for some champions that require skill shots, skill and patience Xin looks overpowered. All he has to do is press the buttons, no aiming required. But that is not overpowered, that is just difficulty of champion. So next time say that Xin is "easy to play" not "OP".
