yooo
first of all this is not a hate post, I like your champ but what the hell is this ap xin zhao mid lane thing? I played against it as Zed and my poke became just fully useless due to the extreme kind of heal sustain this build grants already from lvl 1 by dorans ring... whats the correct counter play? Buying anti heal on zed seems very silly and honestly I dont even think it would have helped
Sup guys! So as a mid, once you take mid tower and you are into mid game, do you guys split and push or do you guys stay with the team n push mid? What is the best option because im not sure if i should split (no tp) or stay with the group and maybe force a fight.
What do you guys do mid to late game?
So...
we lose 5-10% ap scaling on passive healing...
But we get 5-20% ap damage on passive????
This is more of a buff imo, and this will make xin ap jungle much more viaable. Stattik also gets 5 more ad so this is even more of a xin buff.
Hey guys! Been seeing a few Irelia mid. How do we beat this one? What is a good build to face her? She kinda just rekts me at level 6. Do we switch over to AD build vs her or still stay AP build? If you could list the build path to beating her, would be nice.
Thanks!
Sup guys! So for late game, do you guys sell your shiv for another item that does more damage? I got to the late game a few times and not sure to keep items or replace them for more damage since i feel the damage is kind of low.
Item build: Shiv , Glu Boots, Dnd, Rift, and, Spirit.
What other items do you guys recommend to build on him? Thanks!
Started enjoying Xin AP... 'Adjustment' incoming. We all know it’ll be a nerf. Sadge, it was fun without being broken, as the stats show.
So obviously his healing in lane is great. The main thing I'm loving though is the amount of options he has to win a game. His split push is incredible. I really used to only play mages. Hwei, Ahri, Brand. With Xin though, I don't feel like I'm ever inting by just going side lane and not grouping up. The amount of fun I've had the last few days is immeasurable. Thank you Riot and please please don't nerf.
ı just played against xinzhao as yorick for the first time and ı just dont know what ı should have done, ı kind of won lane (never died, took 2 towers) but he was basically immortal mid-late game and he was healing more then ı can hit him for despite my Executioner's Calling and he was stronger then everybody else despite very few items. should ı have destroyed him at lane, is he just op like that or am ı just not familiar with the mathcup, ı would like to know what ı should have did different, ı appreciate any kind of advice.
Whats the best xin zhao build for mid rn??
Items and runes 🙃
Every since last patch I've been spamming Xin, trying lots of builds. And now that I'm at the doors of emerald I found an item I fell in love with. I go to the hourglass third item, and honestly it's metal. My thought process is that if Jax can go for it, a bruiser that heals would rock too.
It wins so much time is crazy. You can disagree with me that's fair but to my liking it is unmatched in value.
I go standard bruiser and build hourglass third.
Maybe it works for someone else.
Hello!! First, sorry for my english. I speak spanish, but I try my best.
Now my ELO is Silver 2.
I am playing Shyvana. My play style is full clear + objetives. When I have R, I try gank.
But I want other champ. The past day, a spanish coach LEC frok Vitality (Maurogarith) said like Xin Zhao is a very good champion for SoloQ for agresive jungler. It's souns good. But, with my Shyvana playstyle think that Xin Zhao dont IS a good champion. I like now the differences. And if Xin Zhao IS a good for second champ. Or IS bad idea that a Shyvana Main play other playstyle so different.
My other dude is, Why Xin Zhao have a good WR if the meta is about full clear?
Sorry for my english.
So far, since he became viable with AP items, I haven't seen many hybrid builds for him, although he seems to perform better that way. Has anyone here looked into it?
With the recent AP buffs to Xin I thought about a possible hybrid build focused on the insane healing passive + D&D provide.
Core build would be Hydra -> D&D -> Riftmaker. Hydra provides good stats and an AA reset which quickens our passive heal. D&D is kinda self-explanatory. Riftmaker provides omnivamp, bonus damage and scales off the health we already build. Next 2 items are situational, same with boots.
Biggest incognita is 1st item. Sundered Sky is an option but since we focus more on our passive maybe an extra AA is better? Another option would've been BOTRK to add some AA damage since we don't build that much AD, but feels really bad as an item overall right now. Nashor is not really my cup of tea on Xin as E provides tons of AS already and going full Ap feels like trolling, and Statikk I feel may be better on midlane Xin in order to abuse it's effect.
They reworked him to fit AP builds. Anyone finding success with AP build? Also what runes and build are you running and at what elo?
Unable to join PBE and test this out, but black cleaver shred has been nerfed on a 0.2 second internal cooldown on stacks. This might mean that Xin can't get full shred off of one W like he has since the VU. Correct me if I'm wrong, but W1 is a single instance of an attack even if it applies multiple hits, so it isn't like Pantheon's empowered W auto attacks being separate instances.
As a caveat before the post:
I am not a Xin Zhao main. I do not play this character. I personally just don't find him much fun. I've hit diamond in every role, peaked D2 a number of years ago in mid lane. I have played this game since S3 and it's my main game. I easily have 3500+ hours.
Anyways, my brother has always played FPS games. He recently expressed interest in playing League. He watched me playing it growing up, so I was excited to help show him the ropes. As such, we started playing swift plays together. I've only ever really played ranked in this game. Swift plays are exactly what you'd expect. Full of people learning the game, crazy builds, Sivir jungle, etc.
However, there was a Xin Zhao mid that was crazy. He was killing me at Rengar speeds repeatedly. I could do nothing. I felt like a bronzie. He would delete us under turret at any moments notice. His build didn't look like it should do this much burst, but it was. I'm curious if anyone can shed some insight. I tried to replicate it, as it legitimately seemed bugged and we were dying in less than a second every time, but I couldn't.
Hubris > B Greaves > Kraken > Tri Force > Titanic > Deaths Dance > sell B Greaves for Randuins.
I looked at his runes afterwards and he was hail of blades & sudden impact. I get hail of blades synergy since he wants to get his Qs off extremely quickly, but I just did not understand the sheer damage. I'm talking <1 second deaths constantly. He was built like a bruiser with lots of healing but pumped out 5x the damage.
Has anyone ran something similar to this? I get AP is the rage right now with healing + the new boots for the crazy omnivamp, but I just can't get over the damage he dealt.
I'll go back and get clips if anyone is interested in seeing the damage output. Maybe this was a mainstream build a couple years ago, I'm not sure, I play the game on and off so I might've missed a time where this was terrorizing everyone. It just seems like everyone would be running it if they knew about it.
Hey everyone,
I want to mess around with some AP max heal/attack speed builds in norms and just be an unkillable demon. However I don’t play ranked and I’m still relatively new to league, so I don’t have a good understanding of the different types of healing. Few questions:
Are the vamp boots ever viable? And if so, when? And how about items that have vamp?
Worth taking that 5% heal rune in secondary tree for jungle?
Any better first item options than dusk and dawn?
Any fun AP item ideas to try in norms?
Thanks in advance :)
