I was ryze, 3000+ hp, 300+ armor and xin zhao could still kill me before my full combo went off wtf is xin, how do you counter him late game, i hade frozen heart, i have 300+ armor, all of which should've worked but this badly designed champ could 1v1 through no skill AA'ing. I hope he gets removed bc of how little counterplay he has. With ryze you have to do ur combos right but xin, just charge to their face and then aa them, then they die

Why do you think you should be able to 1v1 a Xin Zhao that had over three thousand gold of items on you?

Also, all that armour you bought meant you were doing no damage. If you actually built damage you might have been able to 1v1 him because he built very little defense.

Your build was bad, and the Xin played better than you.

Xin needs rework, because he is generally bad outside of low elo. He can charge in the enemy team and has no escape. Ryze should be able to kite him without problems. Just don't mess your combos.

Xin zhao is really annoying,i agree. He can easily gank at level 3 and if fed,it is GG.

You play passive early and let him fall into crap. If he has no kills he becomes really useless on teamfights since he won't be tanky enough and will be blow (or be tanky enough and have no damage)

'Audacious Charge' is not a misnomer. Xin Zhao is basically forced to commit to do any damage, as most of it will be coming from his Q and his W procs.

In order to really flourish, he needs to stick to his opponents. The best way to deal with him is to kite him away from a favorable situation, or at least to avoid the unfavorable one for you.

What we COULD use is an indicator for his third W hit, and something definitively clear for his Q, like a different stance. We might even want something for his W active.

Xin Zhao also has passive armor reduction and it's percentile. The higher you ramp armor, the more he'll be able to cut away; if you can't win the duel against him, defense won't help. He'll cut through that too and heal off you all the same. Grievous Wounds, Frozen Heart and Mercury's Treads are all a good start but you might consider just keeping cooldown reduction at the fore of your build while you force him into protracted fights and interrupt his ability to stay on you.

If he can always catch you with his E, you need to change how you're playing against him in general.

The Xin Zhao player was simply better than you in every way. He had 23 cs over you, had 8 kills over you, had 3000+ gold worth in items over you, built far more movement speed than you, and you can't kite worth shit with Ryze, one of the easiest champions to kite with. A champion with a point and click Root.

He was playing Xin Zhao for Christ's sake. Xin Zhao is a terrible champion. The fact that you lost against him speaks far more about your incompetence than it does about his OPness.
