You're right that he is very linear, but sometimes that's a good thing. He is effective at the lower elo's because of the simplicity, but seeing someone who actually plays Xin Zhao do stuff is quite good to watch. Ultimately the skill involved in playing him well is usage and timing of the ultimate, and positioning. The rest is E > attack till dead, maybe use E again, but because of the simplicity the room to outplay him is both increased for people that predict what he'll be doing, and lowered because none of his actual damage can miss. In my opinion they should completely change his passive and W into something more interesting than attacks faster and heals, but also change Q and E. The simple thing to do is just E into Q, I'd like something that makes me feel like I'm actually using a spear, because really the only feeling you get is from Auto's and when you get a huge ult sweep off.
