Ap xin has always had stupid amounts of healing, it's the free crit for no reason that makes him really strong

Regular rear end Xin used to be able to tank turrets with enough ASPD a season or two ago. It was pretty stupid. It was like 3x as dumb as what's in the video since he's actually losing health until poppy shows up to heal him.

Sexpansion posted:

Judging from the way challenger players are building him right now, I'm going to try devrourer -> rageblade -> sterak's -> tank and see how that works. They also seem to be starting W -> Q -> E with a maxing order of RQWE.

That build is more or less what I gut feeling'd minus the rageblade. Maxing E is probably still best for clearing, but if you're comfortable just invading the poo poo out of champions that aren't broken that skill order is fine

Counterpoint: junglers that don't need blue buff, like aatrox and whoever else I don't know?

At the start of the game the actual buff doesn't matter as much as the exp and gold the jungler gets out of it. It's the sort of thing the top laner should ask about before doing, because hey what if your jungler got invaded at their first buff and are now behind? Haha too bad you're hosed cause your other buff is gone to your top laner.

I can see it being kind of cool to do in the hands of a skilled player with a jungler willing to eat the setback, or maybe get help invading the other jungler after with the top laners level advantage.

No idea if the patch changed him - but it used to be E (for the scaling slow) > Q (for the cdr) > W. Given his stats now, I can't imagine it matters all too much

Thunderlords doesn't proc on monsters and you're going to be really, really squishie without it. The sustain is good too.

I've been using Strength on most junglers bar Xin. Was trying to make him work with Warlords or Fevor and just push the crit/aspd angle but I am starting to think Strength is the better choice if you are going to do the 2x damage items -> tank. Also Runic Armour is pretty great on him as is Swiftness

What about top lane? Or actually I mostly want to know if they got the the ferocity tree masteries up to par with thunderlords at least on certain champs cause I usually know when to use the other trees capstones.

Imagine a world where you're the only champ in the game who gets the melee version of Grasp as a ranged attack. That is GP's world, and it's a pretty great one.
