After his rework, xin takes a lot more skill to use than you'd think. This is EXACTLY why he was reworked in addition to the fact that his legs were broken. You really shouldn't e into a battle- you're just asking for trouble and it's likely a suicide unless you're somewhat tanky which is either possible late game or if you've gotten fed. It's far more skillful to save the e either for escapees or a quick get away. I've warded into wraiths multiple times and e'd in there to get away from a battle. Furthermore, the R is much more valuable now. Before it was just a decent wave clear, now it's a knock back which can change team fights. You don't just press R when you go in. It's not a damn execute and you shouldn't use it soley for the damage. You have to time it well when their team is surrouding the carry. Sometimes you might need to use it to save yourself or your teammate. Maybe jump into the baron pit, knock people back, then smite baron to steal it. If you just spam R either you're an extremeley ignorant, a total noob, or getting this xin confused with the pre-rework xin zhao. I agree that you usually smash q and w together, but xin's one of MANY, MANY champs that have two very synergetic skills. The rest of his skills, INCLUDING HIS PASSIVE has to be used carefully since it really controls WHO gets knocked back. Imagine if you e into the tank like some moron and press R and knock away their carry to safety. Xin takes a hell of a lot more skills than you think and the last time someone called him a 'easy to use' faceroll champ was when I was pub stomping noobs with him, but not because he was easy to use, but because I played him cleverly, knew his limits, and who to focus down and how.
