Xin Zhao is definitely better now than he was before which was being outclassed by nearly every bruiser/assassin out there. His biggest buff is that his ultimate is now a teamwide cc, bringing him up to par with bruisers like riven while also providing him with a disengage should he need it. The cooldown reduction on TTS and Audacious Charge was to compensate for the loss of the cdr from Battle Cry, but i guess it was to prevent facerolling through using two combos of TTS and Charge in quick succession. His early game sustain has also been buffed, in that you can choose to level W and become Irelia essentially. His new passive also makes him a decent duelist and a viable top lane. The only concern i have is that his damage remains shabby and item-dependent, but overall, i really like the various buffs he is receiving.
