I have, on many occasions, had a Xin Zhao from the other team dive into our team before anyone else and ult. We pulled all our CC and damage out that we could (he was the only one within range, his team was coming and that did have a lot to do with his surviving, but still) and still couldn't kill him as he took out a couple of us. Yes, he should be rewarded. Should he not die, ever, and get a quadra kill anyways? No. He's a sort of an anticarry, but his cooldowns on his ccs are too short and his damage and ccs are too great for someone of his survivability. Make him an anticarry (weaker CC on longer cooldowns, great survivability in a group, great damage) or an assassin (stronger CC and still great damage, but can't dive into 5 people and sustain focus) and I'd be fine with him. Right now he's both, and that's just ridiculous. He also has a problem similar to vayne in that he has a ridiculously good early game, giving him a gold advantage that he still scales well with, which raises another issue. If one has a great early game and is difficult not to feed even when you ARE playing well (the best Xin's I've laned against have COMPLETELY zoned me), they should be more like fiddlesticks and have a less successful scaling into late game. If they want to keep his good late game, make it more difficult for him to eat you in lane.
