I mean, I still jungled Mao on my smurf while Gold III duoing with a Silver II (and with MPen/armour/MR/AD runes to boot), so it can work. But clearly not optimal.

I generally agree with this sentiment though you kind of need it on xin, xin may be strong enough to justify his cancer clear.

I always go blue smite on mumu and rammus. Anyone with AoE clear doesn't really need it because it doesn't help you clear the big creep and the sustain is meh, just get a crystalline flask if you need sustain that badly.

I remember Oddone basically saying, if you don't need to AA the small camps in your clear, you shouldn't get purple smite. That's the very general rule I use, though there's probably exceptions.

Xin feels like he'd be super bullshit with the new items.

His most winning build is still Devourer ????

Before warrior used to be good because of warrior+ghostblade true damage one shotting, but it was squishy and you needed like to rush double giants belt or sometihng
cinderhulk+ghostblade into tank was good as well

I think new devouurer is just superior to both now, 2 hit q knockup is good and it does more dps than anything else, so you can go full tank and be fine or get wits end or botrk or ghostblade as another damage item and do tons of damage.

Don't know which of the new items you want, DMP is ok but he already has a slow and they don't stack, titanic doesn't seem like it would be too good either. Steraks is good but you want to get some health first because it's not really that cost effective otherwise.

Makes sense. I just realized it's been like a year since I actually played jungle Xin.

I was thinking something troll as shit like Warrior/Tforce/Sterak's. Dive in and hope you kill something squishy and get out before Sterak shield and your ult resists wear off. Titanic as an additional AA reset is probably decent.

Xin can be summed as "please let me get three autos off" so it makes sense Devourer which gives on hit damage would be good

You can get titanic with new devourerrs and go tanky with DMP and maybe some lifesteal and because titanic has a true AS reset you can aa-titanic for an instant knock up if you have Devourer.

Sated Q pops up in 2 attacks instead of 3
Sated W heals in 2 attacks instead of 3

Both of those factors make it really strong on him.

Yeah, but how long does it take to get to 30 stacks, even if you buy it as soon as you have the gold? Unless you're super snowballing for stacks, or ignoring all lanes and hard farming until full, it would take some time.

average time for devourer is 20-25 minutes, you should be farming anyway so unless your team is getting destroyed and they are camping your jungle it should be fine

You don't NEED the sated to be good with devourer, but it obviously helps

Alright, I popped into a custom game to see how quick Xin could do the double reset with Titanic. Turns out, it's really fucking quick. You get three autos off in the space of about a second. With Sated Devourer, that's an instant knockup.

Remember that scuttlecrabs are +2 and dragon is +5, so it is pretty easy to stack up even if you aren't full AFK farming your jungle. If you see easy ganks and can snowball your lanes then you can almost always count on +10 from two dragons as well as uncontested scuttlecrab control.

Since Scuttles and Dragon give 2 and 5 stacks respectively, there is a lot of team play potential to getting stacks with Sated as opposed to Feral Flare and old Devourer. In addition the stack cap also curbs junglers from overfarming while they try to "go infinite".

I dunno, why would you afk farm with Xin anyway, isn't he supposed to have good ganks early on (so before you get Devourer, 'ight)? Plus I assume his clear isn't too hot because is only AoE is E unless you get the purple smite, and he burns mana quickly if you reduce your cooldowns and spam iirc.

I don't know where all the trailblazer hate is coming from. Trailblazer is a great item when you need to keep your mana and HP up in the jungle. It's especially good on Mumu who has mana problems. It's overall a safer option to buy. Chilling smite is better if you're committed to snowballing the game through ganks, but Mumu's ganks are mediocre until he gets his ult. His ult is also on a really long cd which gives him time to farm the jungle between ganks. If you want to snowball the game through ganking then you should probably pick a different jungler.

There's that, and like 95% of players on champion.gg and probuilds are building trailblazer.

I take purple smite on almost everyone. (Not Elise).

What Slayer was saying is that if you run Runeglaive Enchantment instead of Cinderhulk, you don't have Mana problems.

Of course, Cinderhulk gives you more defensive stats, but Runeglaive has more damage with the Sheen proc, so take that into account.

Amumu with red buff ganks just fine, especially with his MR shred and good base damage on Q. Just try to walk up to people if positioning allows, and you'll at least burn their flash (and maybe get a kill if you hit a bandage after they do).
It's like Maokai where you wouldn't start a gank with W.

What champions if any would use Scavenging Smite? It looks like it's designed for people who just want to counterjungle? I can't see a real reason to pick it over any of the other ones.

Nobody. I don't think there's been one compelling use for it ever and it just screams "ward your jungle and collapse on me."
