could you guys give me some good xin builds for different situations?
Right now I just play SotD and ghostblade, because I like to press buttons.
The guy I duo with is just loving the hotshot build:
open dorans blade, ask for solo top.
boots1
brutalizer
dagger
finish boots 2 (mercs)
finish ghostblade, start pumping green+red
situational negatron, otherwise just keep going with the build
finish SotD, finish veil if needed
brutalizer again
GA or other tanky items as needed.
Armor pen reds and quints, mregen/lvl yellows, mr/18 blues, tbh just pick your favorites, you only need the armor pen.
Ghost+Ignite, I think masteries are 0/9/21 but I have no idea tbh. Just sit and farm top, your combo will bring your target below half hp, if they are dumb enough to stay around after the 1st one just finish them off. You can go ghost+flash too, it's situational.
Skilling is mostly situational, open Q or E depending on the opponent, you want 2 ranks in W by lvl 8, get the first rank at lv 3 and try and see when you can afford the second one for farming. Then R>Q>E>W.

uhhh I run attack speed quints, attack speed marks, armor seals and mRes/level glyphs
1/14/15 in jungle (improved smite, everything maxed in the first 3 tiers of defensive except for the dodge masteries, good hands, improved ghost, awareness, 2 meditation, 2 utility mastery, 3 movespeed)
0/15/15 in lane (same as jungle except no improved smite, and take on improved cleanse)
ghost/smite in jungle, ghost/cleanse in lane if that's not obvious.

RIOT has such a strange and indirect approach to balance. Remember that Shaco was used to be known as a tank killer before the nerf bat hit him? Yeah, like that just miles away from you with slows and something which reveals bush ambushes on even longer range. first off, shaco wasn't known as a tank killer. he was known as the baron raper and #1 ganker in the game. strong during laning, super strong midgame, great scaling lategame. kog has shit early game, shit midgame, and great lategame.
flash+tibbers combo cannot be "babysat" through lol. nor can most "blow up in his face" combos or mobile casters (katarina, kassadin). when i play, i usually chase kogmaw away solo and most of the time end up killing him. you just need to kill him before he can kill you, something tanks aren't capable of doing.
also wtf are "bush ambushes"? lol@facechecking a bush going "hey guys, is kogmaw home?"
the 'rise of kogmaw' (sounds epic) means the return of teleporting casters. and as a katarina player i couldnt be more happy  .

the hotshot build is so balls to the walls aggressive =\
I like playing Xin way tankier.

What is your opinion of Atma's on your tanky Xin?

It's fun because it relies on no opponent looking to get in range of your E. You have the zoning power of a turret, it's ridiculous.
|
probably a good way to finish it, but I honestly never get that far. Atma's and Mallet are sorta a match made in heaven for tanky DPS, but you'll notice my build really loves Attack Speed so I like diversifying my damage output with Bloodrazors.

3. Gank lanes occasionally
4. Profit

I play xin solo top with 0-9-21 masteries, ghost/ignite
I start doran's shield then just amass tank items on him, usually rushing B.veil. His base stats are so stupidly high I dont know why you would ever build anything offensive on him besides bloodrazors and ghostblade as a luxury 6th item perhaps
edit- ive probably gone legendary every single game ive ever played him and got top solo but hes pretty boring so whatever.
|
Speaking of base stats, is there a site/source with averages for stats and stat gains? I'm missing HoN's in-depth character stats. 
|
so I'm back after testing out mogwais build, and I like it way more then the aggressive hotshot build.
you just stay around so much longer to pick off lowbies with E>Q combo who want to flee.
Guess after the Patch hits tomorrow though I'll think about replacing GA with Atma maybe.
but depends on the comp and stuff I guess.

OK random somewhat off-topic question:
I'm having an argument with a friend about Morgana's skin color in the cinematic trailer. Her skin isn't green in the trailer, is it??
Seriously am I just totally colorblind? Cause her skin looks to have a purple tint if anything, and my friend insists she looks green. One of us is crazy. Halp!

You mean something like that? If you click on the champion name it shows all of their base stats and gains per level.

Imo Mallet qualifies as a defensive item at least as much as it qualifies as an offensive item.

Mallet counts as a tank item imo 
|
yea, but HP sucks for defense, lol. Just gives Kog more damage!
