Xin is a problem IMO

Gamer Gallade··1 votes·595 views

Ok. I have a massive rant towards XinZhao for good reasons.

I know some people will say that he is not a problem but i do feel like he is.

He is a broken mess of a champion with his kit right now. Aside from being melee in his kit. you can kit him but its made pointless with his e.

he is so reliant with his 3 hits that people build him attack speed which makes sense. but with the current items right now, his kit is just too abuseable because they go jungle with him and build bloodrazor. After that they build him tank just to make him more a problem.

Currently the main problem i do see is that his w is one of the biggest problems because it gives him free crits and heals him with ad and ap. his q is a small problem because it reduces his skills by 1 for every successful hit but paired with his e it makes it a pain to escape and nightmare to escape from him because of it. Pretty much hit them 2 times then when they burn flash/dash, e them and give the final hit of his q.

I do believe he is like old Fiora but worse do to his direction of building 1 item the build him as a full tank. being item 1419 being core to his kit. He deals wayyyyyyyy to much damage for his own good. **If he is a fighter/assassin, why is he allowed build a tank and deals an disgusting amounts of damage because of 1 item... Its just not fair.... ** In all seriousness. he could use an update, he has little to no counter play and he's kit is a mess with the current items available.

I want to swear because i just hate this champion on how brain dead his kit and I wonder why he has this massive problem on how near impossible it is to kill him while dealing a ridiculous amounts of damage he deals.

Also another thing. He could use a little bit of an visual update. He is an old champion.

[zombie-brand-clap] That is my rant towards Xin. Fuck that champion and his play style.

Reminder that this is what the game would be if the game was balanced around Bronze

He deserves a rework yes, but is he really a problem? No. He has his place in some metas, and can still get by in others. Are there better junglers? Probably, but he's not in a totally horrible state like other champions like Urgot and Aatrox. He'll get an update next year with Diving Fighters.

Well i hope they do something about his kit when that comes along. Hell, he might end up with the big reworks like the ones in the up coming update...

I just dont like his kit right now and I hope they make it a little better when he gets updated.

Don't expect big changes, he is going to be one of the small ones and most likely will just receive small changes that will enhance his quite defined playstyle. If you have troubles with XIn is because you are burning your dash/blink on the wrong time, you either dash right as his landing his E or after the knock up, if you try to dash after his second Q empowered AA youa re just going to be knock up on his final destination and letting him catch up.

Also he is so of a early game jungler, so play passive early game or ward to be on teh safe side, he is probably the scariest jungler from lvl 2 to 6 besides maybe shaco, and such, if he fails to get a lead on that time he will start to fall off pretty badly

Thanks for the advice. I know im not that good but we could learn a few thing from others and learn from our mistakes.

Just like Riven ...

So i'm a xin main i have mastery 7 with him because he was my first main and i wanted to complete him so i did that but i feel like hes in a good place now in top lane in jg however he is really weak so i bring him top most of the time and as you said his basic abilites are fairily strong but thats why his ult is weak theres reall only two ways to use his ults and that for a bit of extra damage and restiance in a 1v1 and to dash into an emey team and ult spilt them up and start a teamfight but he could use a rework but i think hes well where he is (sorry for English not main language)

Thats cool on the English. but i understand how he is right now.

Whats a little ironic is that almost no one use Xin top and go jungle instead.

The bloodrazor is just a good item for him because they give him 50% attack speed and give him the chance to melt high health enemies, kinda like item 3153 just with out the bonus attack damage and life steal build in BORK.

Don't know why but people are comfortable with Xin in jungle.

Xin Zhao deserves a rework, but not because he is strong. It's the exact opposite, actually. Xin Zhao is at best a lower mid-tier jungler and a low-tier top laner. For such a simple, linear champion to have below 50% win rates for FIFTEEN straight patches now speaks a lot about how truly bad he is. In my main account, I have Mastery Level 7 with him in Diamond 1 (previously Master Tier, but I just got demoted yesterday). It's gotten to the point that I can't in good conscience bring him into ranked anymore without hurting my team's chances of winning. There is literally nothing Xin Zhao can do that other champions can't do better. The only champion in the same category that Xin Zhao might be better than... is Aatrox. And we all know that Aatrox is pure shit. It breaks my heart that Xin Zhao has no place in a team comp anymore.

hehehe. whats a little funny is that i used to main Aatrox.

I do agree with you,thought im not on your tier of level but i know how bad Aatrox is right now.

No doubt Riot wants to make all champions viable in all ranking, The best hope Xin and Aatrox has to be better is the diver update that comes along after they rework Warwick or Galio.

He should probably get reworked just because he's so old and outdated and bad. He's not a problem in balance.

Gamer Gallade1 votes

The main reason why I did this is because he just makes me tilt so badly.

I have a hard time against him and too me he is Fizz level of tilt to me.

I just hate him right now.

Just a small reminder that Koreans are using him in higher elos right now.
