I would also like to see a kind of jungle matchups section and a section on how to counter jungle, as well as what to do if u get counter jungled.

Great guide though. Definitely +1

very good build, this build is very detailed and you even put the point in about xin being changed so that it will still be relevant in the future. good job! :)

Whoah, didn't expect so much from this guide, its visuals arent the best evah, but the info it offers is amaizing. You explain evreything pretty good, but I'm most impressed by ur jungling section, wich is amaizing, and learns newbies alot, also, I realized my junglign could be so much better, and I'm a pretty seasoned player.

Great guide, +1

(Maybe if ur looking forvard to impvoing your guide, add a list of enemy junglers and how to counter em. Like, amumu is weak early game jungler, so try to counter jungle him alot. Same for other usual junglers. Just saying it would be nice addition, not neccesity, so yea, still a great guide :P )

Good guide, saving my vote though. There a quite a few spelling errors needing to be fixed and I think you should add selling Wriggles late game for a Bloodrazer, BT, GA, whatever is best to counter the enemy. I also think adding a little reminder or tip to newer players to stack elixirs when you build is complete would always be a nice touch ^^

Anyways, I love Xin right now, he's soooo OP. I'll be looking forward to future updates on this guide :D. Keep up the good work!

This is not a 3v3 guide - 3v3 is like... a whole different planet than 5v5.
Annie can be played as assassin in 3v3... cuz there arent enough players in the enemy team to deal with her. So may Xin be a great assassin in 3v3... cuz he can jump someone and the other 2 cant actually do anything vs him bursting/lifestealing like a ******.

In 5v5 on the other hand.... Xin will get stunned, knocked back/up, feared, silenced, slowed, snared or god knows what... solely by the supporter. And with thtat not enough, there are 4 additional people to bully you around like mad. As assassin Xin in 5v5... you will E someone once, then youll be stunned by their Taric support. their Malphite top lane will cripple your AS and knock u up and their midlane Ahri will rip you apart within seconds. But at least u got 2 AAs off in that time.

@Gasparde I concur If you hit me up on LoL (name is same as it is on this) just for one game of 3v3, I could possibly show that Xin is a great assassin. thank you for replying.

Xin is a really poor assassin.
His Q has no scalings, but giving him fix ~30 extra dmg per hit. By having a huge AS steroid already from his W, additional AS is imo already way less important. His E has no scaling. Neither has his R. Building Xin assassin... is like building Sona assassin. Everyone with 2.5 AS, 250 AD and 30% LS will deal significant amounts of dmg, its champions with great scalings + base values that are true assassins.
Assassin Xin just offers nothing. Like Master Yi, you will be CC locked down before you could get your first AA off. Yay, but at least Yi has his ultimate, Xin has nothing.

Im not talking about whats ultimatively better here. Neither Im saying all those assassin Xin guides are worthless ****. Just saying that glass cannon Xin doesnt do anything imo, thus Im putting up the "fits the meta"-Xin guide.

people are building xin way to tanky for xin you guys are kind of complaining about late game presence because your building him off tank when he should be built like vayne with tons of attack speed damage and crit chance. if you build xin like this you wont need armor and mr with all the ammount of health you will life steal. this guide used to be the top xin guide and it still works there is nothing defensive about this guide either. (credit to HIACliff his guide)
>>>>>> http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/xin-asian-devastation-50235 <<<<<<<< this is the guide
I AM NOT COPYING THIS GUIDE I AM HERE TO TRY AND BRING BACK HOW XIN SHOULD BE PLAYED IT SAYS CREDIT TO THE MAKER FOR MAKING THIS GUIDE.
YES IT IS EXPIRED BUT IT STILL WORKS XIN IS AN ASSASSIN NOT AN OFF TANK LIKE GAREN CAN BE

Im actually prolly going to change Atmas with Randuins, since Atma really lost its strenght with the recent nerf.

In terms of HoG, yes, sometimes I get this aswell, but usually only if Im already quite ahead. 850g are quite a huge investment as a jungler early on, and especially if youre gank-reliant and dont get ganks off... this really cripples you more as it would help you later on.

Black Cleaver and Phantom Dancer, yea, those are the situational items at the very end of the game. If Im already tanking the **** out of the enemy... theres no need to become even more tanky, in those cases I grab some naasty dmg items aswell. But usually my games end after grabbing Trinity and Warmogs, so this is more of a "hey, in a 60 minute match, if youre not dying anymore, grab some dmg items" scenario.

And lastly, Ghost + Smite. Ya, I used this a lot in my early Xin times. And yes, its so much better as a melee cuz you can stay in melee range for way longer than you could do with Flash. But actually, then we're back with Xins lack of escapes. One snare, one stun, one slow or one knock-up... and Ghost will pretty surely not safe you. With Flash on the other hand you can still pull off some really aggressive moves, but you have waaay more defensive capabilities. As mentioned in the guide, I used to run Ghost on many melee junglers, but tbh I couldnt play without Flash anymore on any champ but Mundo, or Shyvana with good escapes.

Nice guide i used this guide when i started xin jungle but i got some exp with him now and i made a couple of changes to your items that seem better to me. so u start with wriggles and boots thats good, but then i would buy heart of gold, phage, zeal then wardens mail and after build the trinity and randuins then go black cleaver and phantom dancer but thats my opinion and one more small thing i would go ghost/smite!!! rest verry good so +1
