More Xin Zhao Counters

Pros / Cons

Pros:

Very high damage

Good at all stages of the game

Great splitpusher

One of the best du.elists in the game

Really good engage

Cons:

No escape

Can get bullied really hardly in lane

Mainly single target dmg

Not a really good teamfighter

Once you go in, you wont go out

JUST BUILD BLADE + RAGE COMBO

Just try it out in normal's, when you will have success with it try it in ranked and prove your dominance.

ALSO DONT BUILD THE SAME ITEMS EVERY GAME, EVERY GAME IS DIFFERENT AND THE BUILD SHOULD BE AS WELL.

Wtf no tri force? This guide sucks!

I like to replace Tri force with Rageblade. Xin Zhao can easily stack up his rage blade by his AA + Q + W. Rageblade makes you do much more damage than trinity, because on trinity you are reliant on the sheen procs while rageblade is by stacking it and AA + Q

When to and not to pick Xin Zhao Top

Pick if:

Its an easy matchup

Your team doesnt have a splitpusher

Your team lacks damage

They dont have the cc to lock you down

DONT pick if:

The enemy laner counters you hard

Your team has alot of AD champs

Enemy team has the cc to lock you down

If your team already has a splitpusher

Team sucks! What should I do?

If you see a lane being pushed then the best option is to splitpush until you get your core items. Try to coordinate with them to group up as you can duel and delete anyone in the game.

Items

Gold = REALLY Good items

Green = Good items

Red = Situational Items

This item stacks very fast with because of his W, Bork and the rageblade increased AS per auto. Your heals and crits will REALLY hurt which is why it is core.

It was core on since the begging, provides lifesteal, AD, AS and the active which is all that needs.

Really good item on , I buy this when I am ahead in lane. It provides with incredible lifesteal and you can be able to 1v1 any champion in the game late game.

Same as but with less lifesteal and more waveclear. I take this item when i want to split push and AA reset with the active

I only take this when I am behind and I need tankiness and waveclear.

If I want to survive in long teamfights, I always take this because of its passive, its a good last item.

Same as but I take it when I want to survive AP burst. In my opinion this is better than Steraks Gage because of its passive and it gives more AD

I rarely buy this, there are other items which are better to buy ( )

I really love this item, if they have cc i just pick this up. The lifesteal and AD is really high good for too.

If you REALLY want the CDR and the bleed effect to sustain longer in fights then get this, but I prefer the other lifesteal items ( )

I dont really like this item anymore, there are other items better than this but if you are 1v9'ing the game then take this.

and I take these items if there is an unkillable tank in the enemy team (Dr.Mundo )

I really love taking this if I am behind, provides the sheen effect, armor, cheep, cdr and the only downside is the mana isnt really necissary.

, and These tank items are very good as last items. Always take the item depending on the enemy team.

I only take this if my team is getting bursted quickly and the support didnt buy one.

and If they have a full ad team then consider taking one of these, for the CDR and if they have a strong ADC that does alot of damage ( )

I only take it if they have a or a , if they have alot of Ap take before

When I REALLY need the health to survive longer in fights although other tank items are better than this.
