AP Xin is good, serioysly.

Carried last 2 games with him. In the last one i was mid against Brand. It was a total masscare. I was able to kill him anytime i wanted after lvl6. Got some early kills and then roamed top and bot. His ganks are very good because of his natural fast movespeed and gap-closer and CC. Enemy Draven had some kills and alot of farm from bot, but i was able to 1-hit him at mid-game with DFG->charge->Q->Charge and Lich Bane, even if he had a Negatron Cloak. Went 11/3 or so at the end of the game.

In the previous game i was top against Shen. I could not burst him down and he kept harassing me. After lvl10 or so, i was able to trade with him with no prob, becase of my greater sustain from W, and eventually i killed him when i got DFG and Lich Bane. Roamed alot in this game and made our mid won the lane and stole their blue buff several times.

Both of those games were @ ~1600 elo.

AP Xin's very first levels are pretty weak, but after lvl 5 or so he can start wrecking enemies' faces. With only Nashor's Tooth u can Charge->Q and instantly charge again for some crazy burst dmg and permanent slow. And ye, it really happens almost instantly with the AS from NT and runes.

Ult does good dmg even without AD and that Charge->QQQ->Charge combo with Nashor's Tooth is crazily good. Not mentioning the awesome heals and spammable CC from Q and permanent slow from E, because u are going to get +35% CDR.

He can also backdoor superly good. Minion clear is fast with Charge and he can solo kill towers with his W heal and AS steroid.

Give it a try! It's not worse than other semi-troll builds like AP Teemo or AD TF.
