k seriously to anybody building xin zhao as a dps hero

fuck you you have no idea what you're doing

Look at his abilities. While there's nothing wrong with carrying ax Xin Zhao, you have to realize that
a) his abilities have stupidly short cooldowns. Add in this the fact that his mana pool is smaller than the average xin zhao's player's **** and you'll see why stacking bloodthirsters and last whispers is next to useless.
b) what abilities are really conducive to high damage? his second ability. It's not like Ashe, who has a frost arrow, an ability that directly scales with items, a farming implement, and a disable. Nor is it like Yi, who has a pursuit, a damage boost, a laning ability, and a ghost+crack. Xin Zhao's only real ability that increases his effectiveness with +damage items is his passive. Of course you could put Youmu's on him, but then you could put youmu's on any hero with bloodthirster and have the same outcome.
c) going for a dps build means that you essentially give up the entire early-mid game in exchange for farming. And when you have a cc, a chase with like 5 second cooldowns as well as a LOL UR HP ability, you are really wasting Xin Zhao's strongest area.

I see Xin Zhao as a far more aggressive version of the way I play Mordekaiser. Which is to say, shut down the enemy carries. Trinity Force is the way to go, because
a) you get the movement speed to keep up with them for ur charge.
b) you get the chance on slow to keep them in range of ur cc and stuffs
c) you get 130% bonus damage on the next hit.
d) you get mana and HP and crit, which are all insanely useful when you drain mana stupid fast.

In case you didn't know, here's how fast you can spam abilities.
a) charge in and use ult. The charge has a hidden bonus of giving you a free hit on whoever the heck you charged. As Xin Zhao at around this time I would have around 100 damage. So that attack does 230 + 270 for the charge.
b) pop the cc and then the passive. +75 + 130% of damage, and then another +75 and +130%, +the extra hits, plus the reduction for your other abilities' cd. Then you can charge as soon as your cc is finished for another 270 + 130%. Let's say they reduce damage by 50% for both armor and MR. In the span of about 5 seconds you just bursted some guy to zero. And because your cd's are stupid low you can run around and do it to his lane partner.

seriously if you are one of the xin zhao's that builds dps and then wonders why they're dying so hard, it's because you're doing it wrong. And if you die to overfarmed DPS xin zhaos... well, pretend that xin zhao was shaco and imagine if anything different would have happened. Except Xin Zhao has no escape unlike Shaco. If you're having success as DPS/tank, good on ya. But I think this build is stupid fun.

sapphire, 2hp pots, boots, phage/zeal, the other, force, game should be over now, otherwise tank item/frozen mallet. You don't need high dps items..

Damn Brees that's impressive. Do you have a friend that you play with or are you able to carry the entire team?

Also, not to belittle your accomplishment but it seems like all the really top tier 1% of players in the game are all rolling in the 5 man premades.
