Why is AP Xin viable, Riot?

WhaiSoSerious··3 votes·699 views

Am I the only person who thinks AP xin is ridiculous?

His burst is like an AD's except he gets 100-300 hp steal per hit with no HP steal items.

Thats like old hp steal back then before they nerfed it. Can RIOT do something about this because it's a bit ridiculous that a xin that doesn't have a HP steal item is getting 100-300 hp per hit. Every 3rd attack he gets 300 hp and on his regular he does 100-200 hp steal. Thats just crazy..

I agree. AP xin isn't viable.

BTW I think you need to check the meaning of 'viable'.

300 hp per hit.... On a skill that takes 3 consecutive autos to proc once...

Yup and 100-200 per hit the ones before that. Those are big numbers.

What 100-200 are you talking about? Only every 3rd hit ever heals him as ap

WTF are you talking about? He heals on every third hit.

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Xin_Zhao

Passive: Xin Zhao heals himself on every third attack. Heal: 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 (+ 50% AP) Active: Xin Zhao increases his attack speed for 5 seconds Attack speed: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80%

I do. He's one of my favorite mess around champions. I have no clue what you are talking about with stealing 100-200 every hit unless you are talking about his average healing, in which case it isnt 1-200 every hit + 300 every 3rd

ap yi and ap tryndamere made little to no sense either

AP xin is broken. Not even a tryndamere with a full build gets 300 hp steal per hit.

Enough said.

What did you do, let him free farm for the first 30 minutes of the game so he could get the items he needs, then leave your CC back at base?

LOL if you let the game run on so long that XIn is actually healing for that much, then you deserve to feel the full wrath of AP Xin.

With sated, go AP, every 2 hits its a 300+ heal.

If you can manage to get 500AP in 4 items and don't mind dealing any damage outside of your E and don't need any defenses, sure.
