he actually has a few of build options

you can go tanky Xin or, in a tanky teamcomp (for example I had Voli top Ai bot and Vald mid), you can go damage and help destroy. Though standard in both is Wriggle's Lanturn.

DO NOT build SotD on him unless you are hyper fed because Q will not crit

as for builds,if going tanky Randuin's FH and Aegis/Bulwark are obvious choices, other thanthat you can pick up Maw, Warmogs, and anything that fits your current game (i.e. get more MR if theAP carry is fed ect.) but you must get Merc treads

offensive builds are more varied, usually something like Maw, BC, BT standard, if hyper fed, SotD and IE, other than that Zeypher is nice on him if you want Armor boots

keep in mind that FM is nearly required in both builds for sticking power and just health.

as for matchups it really depends on skill more than anything because, while not top teir in clear speed, he is an excelent deulest because of his Q and E
