Damage per hit has always been more important than attack speed and in most cases is built in that order. It's better for last hitting, better for lane harassment and better for quick engagements and better for kiting. Attack speed is just something new players think is important because they think it helps farm and the effects are more visually obvious. The game in that regards hasn't changed. I think you just started gaining more experience as to what's good and what's bad. No if Xin returned to release stats people would again QQ because his ult would again take away thousands of damage on initiation and give him lots of tankiness and his CC would again be hard to escape from unless you had flash.

Attack speed is a legit scaling. Otherwise that's like saying Tristana is shit because she only has attack speed as a steroid LOL. Percent based damage like Xin's ult also doesn't need scaling because it does damage based on health. That's why Mundo and Warwick's Q still hurt late game without any items and why Garen can still execute you.
