So strong! Definitely climbed to top of tier 2 if you ask me. I tried him solo top bruiser with more or less the same build I use on Irelia (Mercs, TriForce, Wit's End, Randuins, BV and Black Cleaver, which I never tried on a bruiser to be honest, but seems very strong with Xin combined with his passive). Every time the jungler came to gank it was a free kill. Dash in, knock up, ignite, jungler damage = first blood and flash burned. Afterwards I just snowballed like I never experienced in a solo top. The match still went through 45 minutes, 'cause we had a feeding Twitch (d'oh!) but in the end my ult was absolutely game breaking: dash in to enemy Graves, ult and suddenly he was alone with a big fat ass target on his head and me sitting neatly on 200+ MR and Armor thanks to the ult passive. I also managed to have maximum AS (2,5) everytime I used W and to be honest he doesn't even need a CDR build since his Q is on an extremely short cooldown and it lowers the other abilites' while costing insignificant mana.

My advice: try him. He feels like a new champion.
