This build u've got, it's the best xin build i've seen so far, works out great for ranked, love that u get all the dmg output and still got the survivability cuz of the extra armor and MR,
final words, keep up the good work and very nice build. :)
+1
I am very sorry that the item discussion is not there yet, but I have some trouble in school and I set way higher priority into it then into LoL.
The tip with solomid is nice, thank you for it^^
Ah yes, here my answers^^
@CDR: 13-16-1 is good, too. But if you get 1 or 2% CDR or a little bit block (both is not very much^^). I just like to go tanky. The more offensive way is almost the same und completely viable.
@TTS: of course you can use it to lasthit. The thing is that lasthitting is not so difficult if you do it correctly and using TTS for it is a mana waste if you can lasthit without getting in trouble. If it is really hard to lasthit good without TTS, you can and should use it. It is situational I think. If there is no other way to lasthit use it. If you can lasthit without using TTS, you should do so. In your exemple, you should use it ofc. 30 mana is a good change against 3 more lasthits I think :D
+1.
Thanks for the nice answers ;)
Oh yeah, 2 more thing:
1: Cooldown Reduction:
13/16/1 looks awesome to me. 3% CDr and you only loose "block 1 damage", "2% attack speed" "1 less damage from minions". Perhaps you could consider CDr runes too. All together with Youmoo's you got pretty decent cooldown reduction that will help you the whole game.
2: Three Talon Strike:
I believe you can use TTS for last hits sometimes. It really helps a lot, especially when you lane with someone, who also want the last hits. AND i mean .. it's only 30 mana. Don't spam it ofc, but when you see 2-4 minions on relatively low health, I believe getting gold from 2-3 is pretty good.

As an example; lets say you have about 300 mana in the beginning. Maybe about 800 late game (don't really remember the right amount, please correct me if im totally wrong ^^) this'll be (300/100)*1 = 3 hp/5 sec (0,6 hp/1 sec) and 8 hp/5 sec (1,6 hp/1 sec).
That's VERY little. Even if you wait 30 sec to get HP, the mastery has only given you 18 HP early game/48 HP late game which is like .. nothing ^^
Of course 2% dodge is nothing too, but imo 2% dodge is > 18 HP per 30 in laning phase :)
I'll bring more feedback when I see something. Remember to answer my 2 other questions above, if you want! :D
Btw, the lifesteal won't help you if you get focussed. You are protected from ONE negative spell and this can also be something like Urgot's Q. Afterwards, you get a stun, lifesteal don't work and you die. Lifesteal is NO real atribute to make you less squishier because it can get countered way too easy pls you need massive lifesteal to stay alive while focussed.
@Hamduden: Thanks^^
Well, the idea with Strength of Spirit is following: You can either get this or Dodge. The problem is, that 2% dodge are quite decent, in most cases they won't do anything to save you. With the extended lifereg you can stay longer on your lane.
Don't missunderstand me: If you take dodge seals, I would go for the dodge bonus, too. But in the case of my runes the extra life reg is better then a very little dodge chance.
Show us some screenshots, and then you'll "win" this discussion. I don't believe you either.
@RedBlueJeans:
1. Randuins and Aegis
You really need the defense, see the text below. Otherwise you will get rolled up by the enemies AD. It is the same with your mres.
2. Latern
He CAN jungle, yes. But I would never recommend this because compared to other junglers, he is way too slow + he is very strong on the lane. I just go jungling with him if there is noone else who can go jungling and I really that there is someone.
3. First Blood
FB is nice, but farming is alot more important. With my items, you can stay really long on the lane and just farm and farm and farm and that's what you want because you can't do it again later really good compared to the initial laning phase.
4. Attack Speed
This build offers alot atkspd. Just look at the items. Ghostblade+Battlecry -> ~1.8 atkspd and thats really much and enough. You simply don't need to hit the 2.5 mark. 1.8 is really more then enough.
5. Your build
Sry, but your build is a fail. You will get focussed and due to the enemies casters and CC, you will die instantly. Thats why full AD Xin is a huge fail, a really huge fail. It is just strong 1v1, early and early mid. Afterwards, you will just die and get focussed because of you lack of defense. Your ulti doesn'T help you this much. It is just a little nice bonus, not more.
6. History
I don't play Xin all the time and this games are all I made with him in this time (beside one game, I had two leavers in the game so I didn't load it up, 3v5 doesn't count imo). I can give you the full histories if you want. I just cut them together because I think that my Teemo game don't interest in this guide.
7. Skill uses
Thanks^^
@talal: You never played Xin, right? Or just against noobs. If you don't know what you are talking about, gtfo! Btw, "why would you go tanky Xin [...] when your dps is high enough?" Why would I go so? My dps is high enough ... so I need more dps, right? Because it is high enough? Selfown, really. If you play straight offensive Xin, you will at least fail in the late game and be just useless because your enemies will kill you in 1 second!
Think about what you are talking pls before posting and voting down.
To both of you: I think you never played Xin in a ranked game and if you do so, you jsut played him in a really low elo where this may still work. But if you play against enemies which have something like a head, you will die and die and die and your team will hate you for failing because you don't deal any damage.
My build is squishy early game, but that's because it's a jungle build duh. Read it! And yes I have played ranked and my win rate with Xin on ranked is 75%. Overall not a bad build though. Good explanation, but you copy pasted all your good stuff from other builds. :P My build is actually less squishy than yours because I have lifesteal and banshee's veil, which save your life trust me. Your role as DPS in the team is to get kills not to be tanky, so I stand by what I said.
