Xin is about to be OP! Build ideas for the new Xin Zhao with the new runepage:

https://i.imgur.com/LdVAwTP.png[/img] Along with his typical items, example: item 1419 item 3111 item 3153 item 3742 item 3065 item 3075 The new runepages and abilities offer very expansive options for this honorable Demacian.

Lethal Tempo: Zhao and lethal Tempo are a match made in heaven. Not only will this scale well with his W in the early game, it then allows him to actually SURPASS the attack speed limit! Allowing him to lifesteal like never before!

Overheal: Xins new R ability allows him to isolate individuals like never before! While he's busy slaying the targeted villain, he can gain a shield of up to 8% of his max health!

Legend: Tenacity: Whilst alacrity appeared the more obvious choice at first, the new xin is evidently designed to STICK to champions like never before! Increasing his tenacity will only increase this quality, and therefore is a better choice in my opinion.

Last stand: If there's one thing Demacians are known for, it's never giving up. The last stand rune grants 5% increased damage when below 80% health. Due to the increased damage, Xin Zhao will also heal for 20% (40%if you choose an AP build) of that increased damage.

Sudden impact: This rune grants 5% increased damage upon using a dash, blink, leap, or teleport. Xin zhaos primary engage is his E which would count as a dash.

Ravenous hunter: Playing even more off of Xins infamous healing capabilities. heals for a percent of damage delt to champions stacking with each unique kill.
reaching up to 12.5% healing! This is a valuable boost in the early game, and a GAME CHANGER in the mid to late game! Along with ''last stand'' and ''sudden impact'' this abilities potential is increased by 10%.

Prepare now! Pick him or ban him, one thing that's certain is Xin CANNOT be ignored. Please share your own build ideas, and prepare to show them the strength of Demacia!

I'm more excited for Lethal Tempo Warwick. I'll never be below 30% health again.

It's time to punish the enemies of Demacia. The glory of Demacia will never fade!

Botrk is bad, imo. New xin q doesn't use total AD but bonus, now. New W will not make him sync up well with tri-force, new q will not let him sync up well with T-F or BOTRK as they provide little bonus AD. He also lost third hit crit passive, so the AD isn't helping as much there either. His new AS buff is on his E, which is AP. Better off to go with nashor or rageblade or both for the increased heal and the extra damage. Or you could replace T-F with BC to help him stick to target since his slow was nerfed and the extra AD would help him more now and because... He also lost his armor debuff, so getting BOTRK to help be a tank killer is not going to sync with his new kit by itself. With E slow being nerfed, I think I like Approach Velocity to help him stay in range to auto.

BTW, everyone I am hearing from (and me) thinks this is a pretty big Xin nerf, and it is. He will do less damage than before, to pay for his ult change which he lost defensive stats but gains defense from ranged attacks from out of his circle. So basically, he traded defense on his ult for another defense on his ult, and lost damage and his early game to pay for it. That isn't OP.

I think you may have forgotten that Xin Zhao is being reworked :/
