I disagree with TriForce being a noobtrap/bad item on xin.

firstly, ok, he doesn't scale well with AP, but nobody can tell me that 30 more damage on a skill being used once or twice a teamfight "outscales" an onhit-heal on a heavy ASsteroid-skill that heals you for 21 more each third hit and will be activated like more likely 5+ times in a fight.

secondly, mana, sweet manahungry champs, they are scarce, bruisers almost never fall into that category, so do most carries.

thirdly, I agree that the pure stat-damage is outshined by most items, but it is a pretty harsh lie to say "he has problems proccing the bonusdamage". His Q is a short-cd attacksteroid, the first hit deals a good bunch of bonus with triforce. moreover it reduces his other skills, making xin a pretty low-cd-champ.

a reliable gapcloser doesn't help you against knockbacks, but MS helps to catch up again, the phage procc is a great way, and for melees phage will NOT be nerfed, but stays unchanged, as the nerfs are aimed at AD carries using triforce.

And crit is always great, pair it with youmuus and sport a quite reliable 30% critchance.

nobody has to like it, but I wouldn't call triforce a noobtrap by any means!

peace out :)
