Full patch notes
Overall, the adjustments made - including his in-game flexibility - are meant to make this particular champion more memorable and more valuable as an individual character and as part of a team. For the full list of the summary of changes, you can see the patch notes below as per the official League of Legends website:
New Passive - Determination
- The passive portion of Battlecry (every third hit deals bonus damage and heals Xin) was transferred to the overall passive for his kit.
New W - "Wind Becomes Lightning"
- This is a 2 part flowing attack with his spear that includes a sweeping slash in front of Xin, followed by a long-range thrust.
- Slash - deals damage in a cone in front of Xin.
- Thrust - deals higher damage at long range and slows targets hit for 1.5 seconds.
E modified
- The attack speed steroid that Battlecry provided is now rewarded after dashing to targets with E (Audacious Charge)
R modified- now called "Crescent Guard"
- Xin Zhao's ultimate is still an instant cast sweeping circle that knocks enemies back and deals damage. The knockback still excludes the last target he dashed to or attacked.
- NEW: For 3 seconds after casting Crescent Guard, Xin Zhao creates a zone around himself and will block damage dealt to him from champions outside of his guard area. The duration of this stance is extended slightly every time Xin Zhao attacks an enemy champion.
The League of Legends patch contains overall visual and audio improvements, as well as a massive amount of attention to his 1v1 style. The update is expected to hit PBE on September 12th.
