I mean you'd have to be one sorry player to not be able to carry with him. I mean go into jg hit lv 3 gank a squishy. He can't run if you knock him up after three hits he should be dead if not dash and try again. Buy Devourer kill more squishies. Just be a total monster. Lol it's so easy your kit makes it impossible to lose someone plus you get mad sustain and the knockup can disrupt so much shit. solo dragon at lvl 3. Jesus you can do it all.
alasarcher2 votesHe is too easy to peel and shut down. He relies way too much on Flash + E engage.
Nahui1 votesUntil Rageblade, bork, Mercurial Scimitar, Spirit Visage and two items of his choosing. Your only hope is to stun him and immediately kill him or he will heal faster than you could possibly hope to kill.
Nahui1 votesEven worse with devourer.
Lord Ligma1 votesMan you must be playing against some bad Xin Zhao's. I only ever flash e when I'm playing Taric. Xin Zhao doesn't need to flash to catch you.

And what movement speed steroid can he use to get to you? Yi at least has his ultimate, only way for Xin to kill u after u see him ganking u is literally:
"Oh look, its Xin, ill let him come close maybe he is friendly"
Any day or night, i would rather face Xin with devourer than Shyvanna, Nocturne or Warwick
Lord Ligma1 votesThose are legit people to fight against but I'm talking about Xin Zhao. Noc is Squishy and if he can't catch you it's easy to kite him. Shyvana needs a devourer to actually be a monster(note I said a monster as in blowing you up in an instant) and WW is always a bastard. Xin Zhao can jump behind you knock you towards his tower then if he got the proper go fasts followed with Devourer it's hard to escape if you have no escapes. Add a frozen mallet to the mix and it's practically impossible. But you are entilted to your own opinion.

Xin cant knock u after he jumps on u. As soon as he touches u, u become immune to knockback. And with proper vision control, he cant get behind u. I dont deny Xin is strong, i always like Xin and dreaded him. But even with buffs he just got, he still has same downsides as always. He doesnt have mobility, CC except that lame knockup or defenses. He is auto attacking champion that has minor gap closer. In team fight, he is easy to control. Yes he has good sustain, but nothing ignite, morellonomicon or 
cant handle.
Lord Ligma1 votesXin doesn't have to jump on you. The trick is to jump to a minion then ult. He can chase you down seeing as how he's a jg and a good one will use the buffs to their full ability meaning having red to slow and he should always have boots of swiftness. He only needs a knock up because that's as much as it takes to kill you knocks you up puts in three more autos and you should be down. Once he jumps on you unless you have a gap closer or you can kill faster than he heals you're gonna have a rough time. Team fights he gets in there and takes what he wants. True hard cc and focusing him can make him easier to deal with but 1v5's don't happen often.

Devourer + Guinsoos + Boots of Swiftness
Killed Darius (me) and Volibear, both of us were quite fed specially me, then killed Vayne and Alistar, then Soloed Baron... He wasn't even fed, I think he was 2 and 3 at this point, i was like 8 and 3 or something as Darius... He would have died but as I clicked R he nailed Voli with his heal AA and got like 300 hp back... Vayne and Ali were way underfed so no surprise but he Soloed Baron with 2 damage items and boots...
Nahui1 votesDon't ever mention Xin Zhao again or I will personally contact Riot and have them permaban your IP address. This champion is awful to play against.
Lord Ligma2 votesThat's really mean and Riot won't permaban someone that gives them money. It's the only thing they care about.
Stephenizgod2 votesLmfao just try reading all the "I got permabanned and i spent XXXX amount of money on this game" threads.
Lord Ligma1 votesXD ok sir unless you work there and you do it yourself odds are it won't happen
CrimsonCobra31 votesXin Zhao is not as easy as you say. He is currently broken, but that is not due to his kit, in fact they just nerfed his gap-closer, so now it doesn't decrease CD. The reason he is broken is the same reason Yi, Jax, and Udyr, and Xin Zhao are practically the only junglers right now. Devourer's + Guinsoo's is stupidly strong on them. The truth is, Xin Zhao and Master Yi are all engage, if no teammates follow up when you go in, you will be dead, and I've had that happen a lot. Jax is really strong, but he relies on effective combination of his abilities to work. Udyr is easy. But it is inaccurate to say that Xin Zhao is broken, or OP. Xin Zhao and Jax have balanced kits, but Devourer + Guinsoo's makes them insane.
The scenario you described also relies on 1) available, gankable squishies with little to no mobility, 2) low warding or map awareness, and/or 3) allies to help ensure you can get the kill. Remember, ganking should never be done alone, junglers get too little experience or gold to be sure they can win the fight. (Of course, some level 2-3 junglers are stupendous, like all the above mentioned, +Lee Sin +Sejuani and maybe a few others. Still, you can get destroyed if you try it alone, or your ally can't get to you.)
