Whoa... I'm kinda surprised that most of you guys seem to have stapled Xin as useless. I think you just expect too much from good old Xin because there's all those fancy other AD champions with tons of specacular moves that make Xin look rather boring. In fact, he probably is boring, which is why so few ppl pick him at lvl 30 matches or in ranked. Come to think of it, I haven't played Xin in weeks, possibly months. But he's good at what he does, even though maybe a little bit UP.

To me, Xin is simply a heavy bruiser and great initiator. He's by far not as squishy as other AD champs like Nocturne or Fiora. All of his abilities are made to increase his damage output and survivability while auto-attacking. Which is really boring. But it allows you to initiate a fight and stay alive long enough so that your squishies can burst down the opposing team. It also means that you are a lot less likely to die if you over-extend a little or move around on your own. Together with his simplicity, I guess that kinda makes him a noob champ.

He's not a carry. He doesn't have spectacular abilities. He's just a flat-out auto-attacker with no strings attached. And he works pretty well in Dominion. Maybe he should be "recommended".
