This is a pointless discussion. You are entirely missing my point.

There is no reason you should have to build Rabadon's on Xin Zhao to "have fun" - Xin Zhao should just be fun. Your enjoyment shouldn't be related to the items you are building - it should be tied to how you're playing him. You're literally just complaining that Riot is letting people play AP Xin Zhao by building AD... sorry, I thought you said it was fun? Or is it only fun because it's a gimmick? (They're not even nerfing "AP" Xin Zhao.)

Just like Master Yi and Tristana before him - Riot is trying to deliver what players enjoy about a champion in a way that can be supported. AP Xin Zhao is not balanced ("solo baron and got a pentakill - but it's fun and has counterplay so it's 'balanced'", yeah cool, AP Master Yi was "countered" by stuns too) and is not sustainable (so long as it exists Riot has to take it into consideration whenever thy rework AP items and Mages - AP Master Yi came back with the latest AP rework...). But that said - they're not even nerfing it!
