Read how badly his ult was nerfed another time (last time its duration was decreased from 8 to 6):
"Crescent Sweep
Armor and Magic Resist reduced to 25
Now scales and gives 7/10/13 Armor and Magic Resist for each champion hit"

So in endgame hitting 1/2/3/4/5 targets you get 38/51/64/77/90 MR/Armor.
(And hitting more than 2-3 targets with his ult is totally unrealistic - unless you play versus totally brain dead opponents, at which point you could build AP on Garen and win).
+
His old ult would give him 80 MR/Armor regardless number of targets hit.
=
Another glorious nerf to Xin, who was never too good in teamfights anyway.

Also i remember Morello stating that new ult would give him same survivability when hitting 2 targets and up to 60% more when hitting all 5 (too lazy to look for a quote, somewhere in latest "why buff Xin" thread).

So, @Morello - "LIAR-LIAR-PANTS-ON-FIRE!!!" :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSkv_29Rncg

Umm no. Xins ult only gave 50 armor and magic resist previously. After this patch at max level if you hit 2 targets you get 51 armor and magic resist so it is only a nerf if you only hit one target with the ult (early ult gives you more armor and magic resist than previous ult for one target anyways so its a bit of a buff to his mid game).

just stfu, xin was just fine as of today and now hes getting unneeded buffs on a champ whose skillset has pretty much everything an assassin/tankydps could ask for.

His ultimate before this change gave 30/40/50 armor at ranks 1/2/3 regardless of the number of targets hit.

With the change, at level 6, it is flatly better and at level 11/16 you need to hit at least 2 targets to be slightly better than the old numbers.

Xin's ult *waaay* back when used to give 40/60/80 but that hasn't been true since his release.

He was fine before the nerfs, and fairly UP afterwards

just because your Ashe can't counter him 1v1 doesn't mean he's OP

The previous nerf hit Xin hard, but this is definenetly a buff, not a nerf. The change to his W is huge, and the change to his R will help him survive teamfights, while nerfing the fact that he was god of 1v1. I feel the changes are a step in the right direction, but I have a feeling he will be adjusted more in the near future.

Yes, he is a liar
90 / 50 = 1.8
It's an 80% increase, not 60.
Someone should put his pants out before he gets any major burning.
