For 3 seconds after casting this ability, Xin Zhao has increased Awareness and will completely block damage from enemies that are far away. Xin Zhao's attacks and spell casts increase the duration of Awareness by 0.3 seconds.

Guinsoo (apparently) also procs Awareness refresh 3 times with every 2 basic attacks.

######The build is exaggerated to show how important attack speed/CDR is on Xin now, take note of that aspect.

Wait he blocks all damage. Does he block CC as well? If this goes through gameplay is going to bitch at this for a very long time. Granted this seems to have straight forward counterplay.

I really wish riot would just ship the new ult and leave the rest of Xin's kit alone, because their planned changes to his W are going to be awful for him, a straight up nerf to his effectiveness. The new R looks cool, and makes his currently lackluster ult much more impactful and worthy of its CD and mana cost.

For the people paranoid about not dying when going in the circle. You do realize he's mostly single target right. Yes I know about the new W but he's still a duelist and the least 1vX oriented. Mostly 1v1s

So item 3124 will become a must buy for xin. He benefits from it but atm is not a most buy.

And realistically this ult will force supports to play strategically since you have to cc lock xin once he dives.

This is quite cool, it's like a limted jax E on a ultimate.....except it works on magics too which is amazing.

Best part? You can add in items like item 3153 and item 3091 along with item 3124 and you have a fully viable damage build.

It´ll melt tanks in moments, and he won't die while doing it too^^
