^If you wanna carry your team, you gotta build damage :V

GET A CLEAVER and a Phage upgrade or sth.

I found that you can't carry hard with damage as a jungler. You need the ability to initiate whenever you can in good shape

Your build looks nice h4x

I often see Xin Zhaos getting fed early and rushing damage. Then they get melted in fights and start feeding cause they keep going the damage route. >.>

I think Phage sucks.

Black cleaver and warmogs is the core now , fricking warmogs =( and shurelyas is good for solo queue because it screams "initiate." if you e in and your team responds gabillion years later, your going to take way too much damage before the fight really starts.

but that's maybe just my Elo kicking in. dunno if all the people actually play good in higher Elo.

I love shurelyas because you can basically command your team to initiate or help caught ppl disengage and reposition. Not as tanky tho which is why I like locket more

Don't like cleaver anymore with recent nerfs actually. Prefer youmuu's every game over it.

As for the topic of Shurelyas, Supports generally get shurelyas and I think having 2 isn't all that helpful, although I can see why you would take 2. Locket is just super cost effective, although with the increasing amount of teams that run an AD champ in every single lane as well as jungle, Zekes is nice as well. Main things about xin you need to know is that you ALWAYS want brutalizer on him, and no matter how fed you are you can't give in to the temptation to go full ad squishy :X.

Last season Youmuu's was considered one of the worst items in the game, and now without much change to it, lol.
