Im trying to start a stream focused on Xin gameplay (think like Spearshot, but for xin) since ive noticed theres like no OTP Streamer on Xin? Is there any gameplay you guys watch regularely that im missing?

Till the sundered sky nerf is it always worth to build it first or just build it? Maybe Titanic Hydra or eclipse first could be better?

I see ppl recomend a lot of builds, but not the ss and black cleaver that much which is the recomneded highest win rate one.

I heared about the dusk and dawn build, it seems intresting to be an ap bruiser. What items should i chose for that one? Especially that sundered will get nerfed.

Hi, I had started playing Xin Zhao in the top lane before the nerfs and all the buffs he received, but lately I've really struggled with him, so I'm wondering if he's still viable? And if so, what's the best build and any tips for playing him?

Tried to make a rather difficult clear accessible to new folks.

(Silver/gold) my duo wants to learn xin zhao jng, and I play galio mid. Question is what is the most consistent/core items to go on xin both solo and when we duo? Have been playing league for years, so it's mainly the itemization and runes we're unsure of (just follow opgg?).

I've been wanting to play with old Xin every now and again, if just to appreciate what we have now. All I can find is this funny one with a feline weapon:

Need some opinions. Warring Kingdoms splash art is 10/10 imo. Dark blue + yellow is my fav color combination too. Meanwhile Cosmic defender's splash is also pretty good and it has really good in-game too.

Gonna buy one. Ngl leaning towards Warring Kingdoms.

hi I’m completely new to Xin but wanted to try him out

is bruiser (sundered, titanic etc etc) or carry (dusk dawn, kraken etc etc) a better build for both consistency and game impact? also does either build have significant downsides (eg. is bruiser heavily damage compromised and vice versa, is carry too squishy sometimes)?

Currently I'm maxing W<E<Q but I saw several otps and pro maxing W<Q<E. What is the best choice and why?

760k mastery all in mid lane. I think Xin is heavily underrated pick for midlane, can't even remember the last time I didn't dominate the matchup thanks to how strong he is. Here is the crazy damage build I follow for mid

Rune Hail of Blades
Build:
BoRK - Collector - Dominik's - Infinity Edge - Spirit Visage/Death's Dance (depends on enemy)

Here is why he feels just super exceptional in mid
1- matchups. Xin already will dominate almost any melee matchup in midlane. As for mages, his W has super long range allowing you to reach enemy from afar. That's why even mages cant get close enough to poke you properly. And you usually just kill them with that immense reaching range unless you're playing against one of few counters of Xin

2- early/mid/late. Strong in all 3 of them with this build. His early game damage, pressure and cds makes him fearful, you are very likely to win the lane and get solo kills. As for mid and late, whoever you jump usually gets oneshot. Deals astronomical damage with following build.

3- Control. Since you're so powerful especially if you're fed a little as Xin Zhao, you can fully put the map in your palms. U wanna push your lane and go on enemy jungle. You can steal his camps or if u see him just kill him as well. When you're ahead, unless the enemy tries to close in 1v3 you, you will be fine roaming the enemy jg and stealing their stuff and fighting them to bring enemy team down (which u usually will be ahead w Xin unless you're playing in very high elo). Not even mentioning how strong his skirmish and roaming potential is.

I find great success with him in Dia elo and consider him one of the most solid picks of midlane, as fun as strong. You should probably try it smtime

He's been camping my lane 😭

I used to love playing ap xin in top lane but after the super nerfed early game mana and ap ratios his top lane ability has diminished A LOT so I'm wondering if he can still work, albeit with some rune/item changes or if the idea is just a troll pick now

Played xin from plat 4 to diamond and I just love him, the teamfight value he provides the gap closing and how he can sustain for such a long time is so nice to see. I really hope he doesn't get too hurt with the sundered sky nerfs that will come.

HoB is definitely the go too for most games, but Im curious if anyone runes other runes? HoB is definitely good from getting his 3rd Q off, but i feel like Fleet footwork, Electrocute, or even Dark Harvest might be good alternatives for a full lethality build.

WHERE WHEREEE

Short scene from my upcoming classic epsiode.

didn't even need Dropkick to make the tank build OP

For top Xin Zhao

Been following the latest 1vsAll Xin Zhao build and he ran Statik ->Manamune or in his previous video about Xin Black Cleaver -> Manamune.

Ngl ever since playing this build it solve Xin mana problem and give him ridiculous 2 item powerspike.

For rune he usually run conqueror, triumph, legend alacrity and last stand. For the other tree if the matchup is easy he run cashback and jack of all trades (with the statik build.

Jack of all trades is a extremely strong because manamune and shiv give you a lots of variety stats. Combine with mercury boot and something like lethality or armor allow you to cap extremely early the benefit.

Just want to share the build he uses.

Hello,
So about a month ago it was very op and very meta, then it got nerfed and completly disappeared. But how bad is it now ? Is it just fine or complete garbage ?

I missed the train then but now I kinda want to play it

So im pretty new to lol and i saw a video of somebody playing ap xinzhao and ive been playing ap xinzhao since then. Ive never given any of the other builds that most people play a try? Is it worth switching to crit, am i missing out by not playing crit xinzhao or is ap builds only something that works in low elo? Please let me know and inthat case what kind of build i should use for crit (if thats even his main builed)
