Thoughts on Xin

As of right now (8.11), Xin smacks almost everyone in the game as long as you play correctly. He is great a taking scuttle crabs, and taking q second makes scuttle die in just a couple of hits. He's a pretty simple champion, and you only need good game knowledge to climb quickly. Reddit summoner school (https://www.reddit.com/r/summonerschool/) has great resources for getting better at the game in general. However, Xin is about to take a pretty big nerf with the changes to Sterak's Gage, and he will be losing out on a lot of damage. However, check back once patch 8.12 drops, for new theory crafted builds with Spear of Shojin and Atma's reckoning.

Origin of Build

For a little while now, Korean Xin Zhao players have been spamming this build in high challenger. In fact, the #2 player on the Korean Challenger ladder yizhiyu has been grinding this exact build. I don't know why this hasn't caught on in North America yet, but hopefully this guide will ensure it does. This is my first ever guide so hopefully you guys like it. Feel free to critique my work and offer new ideas in the comments.
