Xin Zhao and Jungling

[quote=caucheka]so what is everyones thoughts on xin jungling? i feel like with the recent buff he is a very nice jungler, but anyway there was something i wanted to say. so to optimize jungling.. after level 2 when you should have q and w, my strategy is to use q, and then when its over activate w and then activate q again. the reason being is that, with the cdr of w, that you can use q quicker than before, as the cd doesnt start ticking until after you knock up your enemy. anyway it seems faster that way...[/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]nahhhh he's a strong laner in the start, You usually nab most of your kills early game with xin (assuming you are reasonably good), and xin can defend a tower really well[/quote]

[quote=Atarios]Better lane potential imo[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I don't know. After failing miserably against Shen (wrong masteries and a level lower tho. Think it was because Dante or someone else kept failing at top so I had to step in) in top lane I'm a little doubtful about how strong he really is.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]What Dante said. Stonewall's said this numerous times as well - while Xin Zhao is a fine jungler (great ganker, decent speed, etc), he's far too powerful in lane to not use him there. It's like LaneWick; sure, he can do it, but why would you?[/quote]

I was afk remember, my internet crashed :(... But then again I blame it on your tanking xin build, it was something like Doran's shield, boots, HoG.. Not enough damage Imo, it didn't matter anyways since we were trolling with AD kassadin and shit xD! Build xin like Guardsman bob, wriggles+ boots+ brut+ phage+ youmuu+ Frozen Mallet+ Black cleaver or like hotshot: boots, SoTD, Youmuu, Rand (somethang somethang)[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Wriggles is not an option on laning champions.. Maybe there was a reason I had to build like that? I was the only possible tank in our team so I had to build like that --.--[/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]Wriggles is still very viable for laning champions. Especially xin, he benefits alot from the armor, ad, lifesteal (since he is an auto attack champion), the ward is always good and it helps with minion farming.. plus its cheap as hell and has an amazing build up. Theory wise I know it can a bit meh, but believe me it works. I iz mainz xin.[/quote]

[quote=Hamduden]I would love a new lifesteal item that fits Xin better than Wriggles and BT :D @Topic: Xin should lane. He can jungle, and it can actually be pretty useful, BUT he is far more dangerous in lane :)[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]how about starks fervor?[/quote]
