That was sort of the the idea. I wanted to make him hard to kite, but only if he had to work for it. This new Xin Zhao no longer has any spammable auto-attack steroid, so trading has suddenly become far more dangerous for him. He can't farm for movement speed on creeps or jungle monsters. He has to farm it on enemy champions. In many ways, to get the movement speed he needs, he's become an even more "all-in" kind of champion.

But I recognize that it might be too strong right off the bat, so I'm going to edit the values.Thanks for your input.
