Champions

[Kaden]

Mostly why I find Xin superior is that Renek is fairly slow and his ult sucks something awful. Rank 3 gives 600 hp and does rofl damage aoe? ...granted, I see how it's similar to Nasus for flavor reasons, but 600 hp by the time you get it is never, ever going to save you.

First of all, the damage is FAR from rofl. Since we're talking about Rank 3, it's 100 magic damage per second to all champions near you. Say the bulk of a team fight lasts 6 seconds and Renekton is near three enemy champions for the duration of the team fight -- those are very reasonable numbers, btw. That's 1800 magic damage from just the passive part of his ultimate.

By level 16 (when you get Rank 3 ult) 600 HP isn't all that great, I'll give you that. Nice, but not mind blowing.

The REAL reason his ult is amazing is because it gives him basically full rage at all times. If you haven't played the champ, you don't know what a big deal that is, but it's a pretty fuckin big deal.

You can't compare his ultimate to someone's like Amumu's because they function in completely different ways. Some champs just have these big flashy ultimates that, when they hit, you say "oh shit." Some of them have more subtle effects that are just as powerful, but you don't realize it until your dead.
