There really is no need to argue whether his statement of getting 39 kills as Xin is true to form an opinion on Xin's balance. It happens. Honestly, the first time I played teemo I went something like 26/3/x (in a normal game, level 30). But I still think teemo is crap because in most games he does get killed fairly easily and doesn't contribute as much as other champions to team fights.

As for Xin, he is simply not OP regardless of what anyone says. Exhaust and blind takes away a large chunk of his damage (not as bad as trynd or yi but Xin is still an auto-attack hero for the most part). Furthermore if Xin's early game isn't good, he will have an extremely hard time later on - why? Because his ult demands that he initiates fights, and if he doesn't have at least 1 decent survival item (his ult bonus isn't enough), he'll simply get bursted down and killed in seconds once team fights start assuming the other team has a decent composition.

Furthermore he has no real escape abilities so he is actually a good gank target during the laning phase.
