Mostly have problems with him when i'm mid, I know you're supposed to cc him and run but what can I do if i'm play an unconventional mage like Orianna Viktor or Cass, none have reliable cc and I don't wanna waste an ult every time I get ganked, any tips?

Maybe its all part of Riot's plan to nerf him by giving him a new skin to boost play rate

With Orianna, you can just not push. She cs's fine with autos so that's not too hard.

Both viktor and Cass have basic abilities that completely denies xin-zhao ganks. Plus, they're meant to be lategame beasts, when xin-zhao pretty much disapears from the game

Those picks are anything but unconventional.

Lol with viktor xin is basically a free bag of gold xd (just take exhaust, drop w and combo)

But seriously just take summoner 3 midlane

summoner 6 got nerfedsummoner 21 is meh summoner 14 only useful for snowballing and heal reduction

His approach is really straightforward: not very sneaky, not too fast, and not particularly long range. So one effective strategy is to ward a little bit far out in the river on one side (like the jungle entrance near raptors) far enough that you'll see him trying to come straight from river, from between river and jungle, or even your jungle. Then be careful to stay on that side of the lane and never push. Then he'll have to Flash in order to get into dash range of you, which will let you flash out of it to safety (ideally).
