Meet Xin Zhao, one of the
The most important part to being successful with Xin Zhao is to listen to this song everytime before you start your game:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dEeMX64
Now obviously Xin Zhao is the cool guy and the fat slobs and the girl are all your nooby teammates.
Skill Order slightly varies depending on team composition, but usually I go:
R > Q > E > W
But starting off with Q, E, W.
If I have a heavy CC team like amumu/galio I will go R > Q > W > E because chances are I won't have to chase as far.
Build
--Doran's Sheild + 1 pot
--Mercs treads
--Ghostblade
--Banshees Veil
--Randuins (Use common sense on whether randuins is more important than banshees, if so buy it first)
--Another tanky item. Guardian angel works great if you just need more mr/armour. Thornmail if they've got multiple ranged dps. Another negatron cloak if they've got shit tons of magic, turn it into qss or fon.
Summoner Spells
Ignite/exhaust and Ghost. You don't really need flash because of your E but if you're one of those girly men who needs to take flash on every character go for it.
Masteries
21 | 8 | 1
Yeah that's right, offensive masteries on a tanky character. Feel free to switch it up though. 0/21/9 is good, utility is good on every one but I feel it is the worst of the three on Xin.
Defensive
Armor
MR
Strength of Spirit
Utility
Improved Ghost
Runes
Marks
Armour Penetration
Seals
Mana regen/level (Can easily be replaced with other yellow runes, mana isn't really an issue with Xin it just really sucks to not have mana.)
Glyphs
Magic resist/lvl
Quintessences
Flat Armor Penetration
Playstyle:
Note: If you're going to jungle open cloth + 5 pots, q, w, q, e. Unless you gank pre lvl 4, then get e earlier. I'm not sure if this is optimal but I don't even activate my speed bonus when jungling until the last 5 seconds because when it's on cooldown you don't get the passive. Although every hit once w is activated reduces cooldown on your q so IDK. He's a pretty slow jungler but he can do it ok. I get wriggles over mbr.
Early game: Xin Zhao's really flexible, he can solo top quite easily for a melee character or he can sidelane and still have a strong presence early game. At early game fights around dragon Xin Zhao will most likely do not only more damage than the enemy sidelanes but also be a great chaser/disabler.
Rest of the game: As Xin Zhao, your mission is quite clear. You must execute your ultimate on AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. Also when you get your three core items down chug green pots A LOT. Green pots on Xin do SOO much damage its insane.
Xin Zhao is a great initiator, not only does his ult give you magic resist and armour after you use it but it also does more damage based around their current health. So you obviously want to do R at the beginning of a team fight. ANYWAYS. Do this and then activate randuins.
After that, you want to pick which tiny baby ranged carry you want to start poking at with your very long and thick spear.
Poking them forces the enemy team to start hurting you and that's what you want!Tips: Don't be afraid to clear those big ass minion waves with an E - R combo. It'll kill all of them instantly most of the time and it feels really nice to hear all that gold.
Also don't be conservative about last hitting with Q during laning phase. Especially if your minions are pushed to your tower, using Q makes it a lot easier to get the gold.
Q resets your auto attack so you deal more damage if you hit Q right after you E somebody rather than having Q ready as soon as you attack. Q bonus damage doesn't affect towers but it does reset your auto attack once for that extra little damage.
That's about it! Nothing revolutionary here but oh well, if you have any questions ask away.
Feel free to sing this modified version to yourself if you've got noobs on your team.

Let's get down to business so I can eat my berries.
Did Riot send me feeders, when I asked for carries.
You're the saddest bunch I ever met
But you can bet before we're through
Noobies I'll... get a victory.. out of you.
Silent as a Russian
But seriously dumb.. as Brazil
Once you get to your lane
Please don't feed.. [First Blood an Ally has been slain]...oh come on Zil!
You're a spineless, pale
pathetic lot ------------- (not much to change here)
And you haven't got a clue ------------ ( same)
Somehow I'll get a victory
out of you
(Be a man)
We must be swift as
urf on a river.
(Be a man)
With all the force
of malphite's ult
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging hotshot.
Mysterious as the development of Sonaaaaaa.
Time is racing toward us
till we can surrender
Heed my every order
and we might survive
You're unsuited for
the rage of LoL
So give up, uninstall
you're through
How could I get a victory
out of you?
Yeah I just got off work and am tired/bored.
