I've been playing a lot of adc xayah and this build is so good, feels like you have poke burst and extended trade potential also r is damn good of an ability. Could try her mid some day looks fun
xayah w makes this build op when there are 2 or less tank in the enemy team. She can have that steroid attack speed on w and can function as normal adc late game.

If I had a nickel for every time an adc was played mid with an off meta build I would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it has happened twice.

Who wants to bet which ADC with an abusable build will be the next mid lane pick. We already had Twitch (AP), Kaisa (AP), and how the lethality build Xayah.
+ Corki + lethality varus early season.. next up is lethality Crit mf, have a buddy that's 18-2 atm with her mid. Lucian fell off so mf is a better option... AP kog maw is next mark my words. Try it yourself it's very good especially with rylais rush, you can hold the laner the with constant pressure it's nice, plus be scales very well
I already thought of Xayah as a really cool champion design, but i never played her, cause I thought I can't in mid. But when I saw Doinb picking it, I thought about it and it really makes sense to pick her in mid.
i have played lethality xayah before, i started as adc as usual then became split pusher of the team... lethal xayah melts turrets and her wave clear is good too so pushing side lane is really good, but you rely on teammates putting pressure elsewhere and that 's her downfall
I think Bursty ranged ADC's is becoming more popular because of how short mid lane is, and ADC's can last hit much easier under tower, but they can also farm really well without being harassed much and worrying about ganks at mid lane.
First it was mid laners becoming junglers, then junglers becoming laners, then roaming supports at top, but now 3 adcs can go mid building spell casting items.
Lol we were dealing with this in 2020 with luc and trist mid and even the assassins couldn't touch them pre 6, your only hope was roaming and jg Least that was for me anyways
She counters Ranged champs which is why she is popular mid lane and also acts as counter to certain top matchups like Gnar/Kennen/Vlad. Reason being because she is the most mobile melee champion with potential to have multiple re-engages
The moment i return to mid lane we're back to anadc mid meta, lol idc because at least xayah an adc i love to play mid unlike luc and trist(i feel like scum using luc mid and trist im just bad at mid)
Ironically yasuo is not that much of a counter into xayah if u always have feathers behind him. He'll have to choose between windwalling the returning feathers. Or windwalling your attacking ones
At this point I feel like 'Counter: Irelia' is just a meme you put at the end of every video.

how to counter this with Nautilus?
So we have Lucian tristana Kai'sa Xayah how is all these adcs moving to mid yet Akshaun is never played I'm assuming it's a range thing yea
yep same reason why graves is used top.
Probably cause the range, burst damage and mobility they have. Plus they seem a lot harder to gank if their in mid lane.
How many adc's will Korea invent into midlane?
Pog
T1 msi champions❤
seen too many ppl int my games with kai mid now this
the era of adc mid has come
nice.
hi dobby
I counter Xayah by Akshan. It’s pretty good.
i have played lethality xayah before, i started as adc as usual then became split pusher of the team... lethal xayah melts turrets and her wave clear is good too so pushing side lane is really good, but you rely on teammates putting pressure elsewhere and that 's her downfall
this still work??
how viable is she rn ?
Ahora va a salir un monton de xasha mancas mid XD
Has adc mid lane always been this popular? I get lucian mid but kaisa mid has been new to me.

Every adc that builds lethality and leaves bot is one broken dream
After assassins mid now we have adcs and enchanters mid
Lol we were dealing with this in 2020 with luc and trist mid and even the assassins couldn't touch them pre 6, your only hope was roaming and jg
Least that was for me anyways
Every op champs in this game's counter: Irelia xD
i made this off meta pick a year ago damn
Why is irelia a counter for every single champion
On adc she gets on top of you and you can't escape. If you play adc mid you deserve an irelia.
She counters Ranged champs which is why she is popular mid lane and also acts as counter to certain top matchups like Gnar/Kennen/Vlad. Reason being because she is the most mobile melee champion with potential to have multiple re-engages
Anyone else gonna point out that Rakan got played mode before Xaya?
competitive KR midlaners bouta turn 99% of ADC's into a viable midlaner
is it a running joke that irelia counters every korean pro pick
0:25
the fact that she sucks at bot lane?
Sir F
Definitely irelia counters all
i really hate people build this kind of item to xayah
I hate the lethality meta
That’s ARAM build, super broken
Add Ezreal to counters, he out-ranges and out-damages you at every stage of the game. What a pest
No he doesn't counters xayah, if you are losing against an ez you are doing many things wrong
The moment i return to mid lane we're back to anadc mid meta, lol idc because at least xayah an adc i love to play mid unlike luc and trist(i feel like scum using luc mid and trist im just bad at mid)
Adcs are better in mid and mages in bot apparently XD
good thing that adc is a weak role... right??.. 💀
adcs are taking over mid lane lol
Bot just has broken champs
i tried it once but i was against a yasuo ....
Ironically yasuo is not that much of a counter into xayah if u always have feathers behind him. He'll have to choose between windwalling the returning feathers. Or windwalling your attacking ones
You can probably just ban Yasuo if he pick a ranged adc mid.
if you play well and take exhaust you should always win vs yasuo as xayah mid. honestly laning vs yasuo is 100% wave manipulation.
idk, xayah relays to much on Rakan
Not anymore
