do you know the current meta? xin doesn't fit in the bottom lane.
This build is more like pub stomp guide where glass cannon build works.
This will not work in higher elos because you'll get focused down quickly.


I still dissagree with you on the lane part. And for the cannon glass - I am working on the best solution to get him more survivability sooner.

You guessed wrong, I don't treat Xin as solo top player :) I don't think he's no good for it, but in my opinion he won't fulfill his true potential and won't get feeded as much as he will with a partner.
If you noticed, I mentioned the lane partner in the "Skill Sequence and Game Strategy(Early Game)" section. I'm going to elaborate on the best champion combinations(in my opinion), in the "Team Work" section.

About the late warmog, I did get a notice on that from Mikuroo and I'm going to work on situational items and alternative item sequence.
But till the warmog, the Bloodthirster+Passive and ultimate give me enough survivability to get down 2-3 enemies at least.

Of course there are less lucky games when I end up with something like 18/12-14/11, instead of 18/6-8/11... But I'm working on a way to make the build more bullet-proof for random enemy champions :)

You get warmog really late. Which means you're building glass cannon all the way til late game.

I believe that's too late and you will just get focused in team fights.

Im guessing you're going solo top as Xin Zhao, and Doran's blade is a bad item since it gives you no sustain.

Go for Boots 3 pots (or 4)
or Cloth Armor 5 pots

Here are my comments ;3

Why do you take so many attack speed runes?? They add up to a small amount, and you really don’t need it. Take desolation early game, and then drop out either black cleaver or last whisperer. You do not need both those items, that is a bit overkill.

REMEMBER. The black cleaver reduction happens before the percent reduction, so 40% is not applied first. Therefore, it is a waste of money to buy black cleaver and last whisper.

You buy warmogs at the end of your build, so until the late late game, you have no defensive items. This is a bad decision in my personal opinion, and you should buy something like Frozen Mallet earlier on.

Other then that! Good job and good luck finishing your guide!


Thank you too :)
About the runes, I didn't want to go shallow like this: Marks = Armor Pen. || Seals = Armor || Glyphs = Magic Res.
But I guess it's the best choice. I changed it.

About the Armor Pen. and Armor Reduction, yes I know the diffrence and the order of appliance :)
I still didn't open the item purchases section where I explain what should we take, Infinity Edge or Last Whisper. Of course I take Last Whisper only if the enemy team have A LOT of armor or more than 1 tank in the team. And lately I like to buy Warmog's Armor as the last item, on all of my AD champs because of the extra 1270 HP. But your statement that it's "overkill", did made me think of trying to switch the Last Whisper with Madred's Bloodrazor... I'll check that up, thanks :)

And about the Frozen Mallet, personally I really dont like this item(especially as third or forth item) because in my opinion that item just doesn't worth the price :(
But I'll see how can I possibly combine it in the situational items, may be it won't be so useless as it seems to me.

Thank you for your time, Slayer of Dreams.

Good start!
overall, you need some extra depth. Nice coding though. A better layout would be nice. Think that for lane xin zhao, alacrity runes will not be needed. I also think that getting 3 talon strike at lvl two instead of lvl 4 will be better. Add in a guide about item choices and runes. Talk about lane matchups and your role in a teamfight. also turn on require comment to vote.

Keep up the good work!


Wow, thanks a lot for quick response!
The coding part comes from some knowledge in web design, thx for noticing ^^. Also I know the layout isn't perfect, but I don't see anything majorly wrong with it. Bright my sight please :)

Hmmm... I don't take Three Talon Strike on level two from the same reason I don't take it on level one - not enough attack speed to make it effective enough. Even with the alacrity runes.
Now about the runes, I actually don't like meesing too much with them, that's why I left this section as the last one in my list, but you're probably right and they aren't that necessary.
I just didn't want to go shallow like this: Marks = Armor Pen. || Seals = Armor || Glyphs = Magic Res.

About all the other things you said - it's all on the list ^^ especially item choices - they're very situational, it's probably going to be a huge work there.

Thank you again, Slayer of Dreams.
