Xin lacks the tools to be an assassin, an madc, or a tank

Like everyone other fighter champion that isn't gangplank or trundle right now.

You're kidding right? Even without devourer Xin still builds to have enough lifesteal it takes half a team to kill unless he's an idiot focusing on a tank.

you realize any champion can build lifesteal? jesus. I said tools. lifesteal by the way, is NOT a tool that helps a champion be an madc, assassin or tank.

Yeah no shit but there's no other champ that has an attack speed buff, two knockups, built in lifesteal and a build that only stacks to all of the above.

If you needed the extra on hit dmg from devourer to win you suck.

Any xin who built the normal jg build, in fights if he focused the dmg without getting cc'd in the process you wouldn't win. Once he wiped out your adc, mid, whatever else he had the sustain to take out whatever was left with no issue at all.

Yeah.. That doesn't happen if your team is good. Xin just has one dash, you dash out or do anything that is a slow, a CC or a dash and he's stuck here, then kill him. Sustain as it is, is a snowball tool. It isn't powerful unless you're fed. If you're averagely fed, especially on a bruiser like Xin, tankiness is strictly more powerful. So either it is he's tanky enough to survive, which is false, or his innate sustain which is like what, 40 every 3 autos, is enough? which is false too. No really, the Xin you faced were most likely fed. Xin can't even 1v1 a lot of champions and gets extremely kited, similarly or worse than ppl like Nasus/tryndamere who already get kited a lot. Also a Xin even getting in range of dashing towards the damage dealer without being in a spot to get hardcc'ed and melted in a few seconds requires either great flanking or terrible positioning of the enemy team.

Half a team means one adc?

the funniest thing about this quote is that my experience xin was literally being a tanky tank buster peeling for my adc with my ult and pop up, because diving NEVER WORKS. So in reality all the idiot xins played him like a diver fighter when hes best at just out dueling tanks with his w proc. Now he cant do any of that.

You don't seem to be aware of the concept of a diving champ. Xin is this. He has the tools to dive and isolate a target. He has a slow, gap closer, attack speed steroid, heal, attack steroid with a knock up and an ult that isolates everyone from who he attacks. He makes it so you have a hard time peeling him off your squishies.

Sure, he has those tools, but it's not difficult to peel him off your squishy. His only mobility comes from a 12 sec cd 550 range target dash. Most played adcs have a dash, and most supports have some form of cc ability. You only need ONE of those to stop a xin. Thats it. One peel or dash and hes useless.
