I haven't seen enough Xin yet post buff, but really if just his ulti was buffed, he still has to deal with the fact that is q-w-e and passive can't hang with newer champions.

all they did was move his abilities around a bit. if his laning is op now then it was op pre-rework.. and as one of the few players who played xin top from time to time i can assure you that it wasnt. once i play test him ill come back but he just looks like a decent top with a buffed lategame.

Thanks to Xiaowiriamu for the sig!

Evil, I think his passive is one of the biggest buffs to him. That's why I mentioned Jarvan.

Together with some other armor pen. item ( The Brutalizer comes to mind) he deals a **** ton of damage even to high armor targets.

I'd think that stacking health against him would work? Possibly Voli top? Just throwing random and probably stupid ideas out there.

Oh, and, PANDA TEEMO! No other skin works :D

EDIT: CDR Olaf with Frozen Heart and Riven might work.

Unless his early DPS is that much bigger than Fiora's, I'm sure Rumble can take him down.

Kennen probably also can do him, if he's patient
Thank you Tsuki for the sig!

Xin is beaten by olaf, ireliea, riven, jax. Why? Stuns to cancel his three talon strike, as good if not better sustain, can build glacial shroud or warden's mail and not suffer a noticeable dps loss or have cc reduction. He is a bit op because of challange. It needs to scale with level. 15 percent armor pen level one with the mastery for 10 percent is too strong. I think 5/10/15 at levels 1/6/11 would curve his early game strength to make it balanced.

For what? Panda Teemo was a kind of a joke, if you couldn't tell by the smiley face. Riven has a shield and a bunch of mobility to poke Xin, not to mention CC. CDR Olaf naturally gets health to maximize Reckless Swing's damage, and a Frozen Heart is fairly core. Lowering Xin's AS cripples him pretty well in my opinion.
