You can play DAMAGE SOAK Xin Zhao, but he's not a tank because he doesn't have a good initiating ability (an example of one with a good initiating move being Alistar). He's not very effective as a damage soak, however, because what are you going to do? Auto-attack them? Xin Zhao's base damage isn't bad, but there's no way in hell his bases are as good as some tanks'. He is also not very valuable as a tanky DPS because he doesn't have any scaling (don't you DARE tell me that his Q scales 1:1, because it's an autoattack).

The only situations in which Xin Zhao is passable as a champion are: pre-30, <1200 rating in solo queue.
