CHEATSHEET
Standard
XIN ZHAO BUILD
Teleport is considered the standard for top laners now. Top laners without TP
lose out on so much map presence and lane safety. Even if ignite helps xin split
push, I think it is still more desirable for him to have TP to be able to help out his
team if his team gets initiated on. -3
The only reason to have AD
quints instead of AS quints is if

I'd just take out starting

option number 2. Smart
laning coupled with TP
will make even a difficult
lane survivable. -2
I disagree with the mobi boots choice - I think that merc treads will
allow xin to stick to his targets better through CC effects. -2
Most tanks will rush armor against you. I believe that armor kinda
counters ghostblade, so I almost wonder if bork rush would be
better.
Also, I'm pretty sure jax still destroys you even after ghostblade.
OP Garen and Fiora probably do well too, so I'd say that finishing
ghostblade is a powerspike for xin
instead of saying that he outduels
everyone. -2
