Yes, he keeps his W. But it no longer critically strikes and cannot heal as much as it did before. So his passive is a really watered down version of his W. Definitely a nerf.

His E damage has been nerfed, so that's completely fair.

His Q has also got its base damage nerfed, but it scales better mid to late game.

This is balanced as he loses early game power.

His new W is clunky with its long charge up time for the thrust. It's a pretty shitty ability to make up for the loss damage.

He didn't gain a slow, he always had it. And it's no longer point and click and it's now a skillshot with a long charge up time.

So what he lost isn't just armor shred, he lost critical strike damage which is a huge nerf, and if you want to catch up to enemies, you need to land W which is so awkward to use in his kit.

His ult isn't even a damaging ability either.

He lost so much in this rework, and his ability to autoattack to outheal incoming damage has just been completely removed.

He's no longer the brain-dead champion he used to be, and I know because I actually bother to read his abilities to know why he's so good back then.

You don't know what you're talking about, and you're just salty about this champ.

And God, a Yi who snowballs by right-clicking? Hello? Yi is a very autoattack reliant champion, he already is a champion who snowballs by right clicking.

This new Xin can't measure up at all in terms of damage and plays differently from his old playstyle, which was just autoing. He can no longer 100 to 0 someone since his ult doesn't deal damage to you, and he no longer critically strikes.

Just freaking read his ability descriptions or even play as him before you start complaining about nothing.

And I know you didn't read the abilities properly before.
