Early on he likely won't be knocking u up unless you're really bad and stand still. He has no escape. Harrass him near masses of creeps or with a lane partner. If he charges u, back off and watch as he gets hit by a lot of aggro. If your lane partner has CC, you can probably even kill him. Xin's early game really isn't strong. To heal he needs to hit creeps. If you're anywhere of a decent zoner, he shouldn't be able to get in range of creeps without a few harrass. Early on he heals about 30-40 hp per 3 hits. Getting 3 hits during laning as a melee champ is quite a luxury if you have even a semi-decent lane comp. A single autoattack will require him to hit 6 times to get back and most won't even want to get in range if both of you harrass him. In almost all my games where I lane against xin I get him to turret hug. He really only becomes a threat around lvl 9 when the levels in his skill start to really syngergise and he gets enough attack speed to knock people up reliably.
