Darius seems slightly stronger I played against him. I got fucked by the shen though but I still managed to get decent farm but I lost the trades. | ||

He has bad scaling anyways, a decent knockup and gap closer, support items are fine on him (starks/omen/aegis/shurelyas), and they will be giving him a knockback on him ult and 15% armor reduction. Janna 2.0? I tried support-ish xin yesterday (also thinking it would be some taric-janna hybrid) and i found that - janna counters xin in lane pretty hard, its hard to even get your knockup off - xin ult is not a janna ult and is weaker if you try to use it the same way (lower range and knockback) - but otherwise he has pretty good kill potential and can also help other lanes - once i built some cdr and tank items i functioned pretty well as an initiator and had pretty good cc | ||

You just run armor runes cloth 5 and rush tabi. after the first time you both go back there's nothing xin can do to win trades. Rumble controls when engagements end | ||

Janna 2.0? interesting... I must try this. Imho, any sort of reliable ranged stun makes someone viable for support, tho I dont see xin being an effective utility lategame without dieing, which is a problem. | ||

Xin is similar to Darius in that they both die to ganks very easily. Without any mobility they have flash and that's about it. Xin naturally pushes the lane when rumble gives up CS in the first few levels, so he has to play really conservatively or die to jungle ganks. He's not able to press his advantage early, so rumble just backs and gets ninja tabi, a ward, maybe a couple potions, and wins the rest of the lane. Even if we weren't considering jungle pressure on xin early on, I still think rumble wins | ||

Personally I think he only works because people don't know how to play against him | ||

I'm assuming you can buy wards from the shop after going back for the first time. Xin is also much worse at escaping from ganks than rumble is, so your argument has no basis whatsoever. If both junglers are ganking evenly Xin will be even worse off. edit: I'll 1v1 but it looks like you're EU | ||
