I have to say I disagree with everyone in this thread. Good Xin's can do a lot of damage, but that goes without saying for any good player playing a character they are good with. Tankey Xin is nearly worthless simply because he doesn't do enough damage after he has committed to the fight to take anyone down and he NEEDS to kill his target quick if he is going to survive. DPS Xin is a glass cannon that can leap in and destroy players, but will ussually get owned by someone else. Which pretty much relegates him to two roles.
 * Anti-Squishy/carry (Take out the enemy that is going to hurt your team the most at the cost of his own life, often worth it.)
 * Last hit chaser (getting that guy that is trying to scurry off with low health.

To Riffeeman's specific point. Early and Mid game where he is at his best it simply takes a bit of awareness that he is going to close the gap quickly, he can CC the hell out of you after that, but if his lane partner doesn't show up to do the work, he can't do enough damage unless you've been a fool.

To Dracko40's specific points. . I think he's just an idiot, so I don't need to address that tomfoolery. "ward bushes to shut down xin". . . ffs what real use is that. "ward bushes to shut down mundo" "ward anywhere to shut down twitch" for that matter why don't we follow that up with such useful advice as "don't feed."
