How to play against a fighter when you can't outfight him? I would suggest playing anti melee champs. If you are having trouble winning duels because he sustains himself to well in a fight I would suggest buying Executioners calling.

Trundle's Q can reduce attack damage and raise his and the ult directly siphons strength and adds it to his own.

Gangplank can apply a slow with his passive and heal off the slow Xin Zhao applies onto him.

Garen's Q prevents the proper chaining of his spells his W reduces the damage that he would take and E and Q are both spells that crit so you can deal critical damage in more ways that he would be able to (Garen's Q also applies lifesteal)

Irelia has natural tenacity, Q applies on hit effects. W restores health and activates to double the health restore and deal true damage. E will stun and R heals and is a ranged spell.

Jax can dodge auto attacks and modify his attack speed greatly over a period of time and with Grandmaster's might you deal a second point of damage and become tankier ontop of that.

Malphite can reduce attack speed and increase his own tankiness ontop of his natural armor.

Darius hinders healing with his passive and can win trades by letting his ult close the damage gap.

There are more but I reckon that's enough examples at least from me.

Xin Zhao heal is flat and scales off AP. Xin Zhaos don't have AP and they don't buy AP so it's just that amount every third strike. Tryndamere and Aatrox find that sort of lane sustain to be laughable. You can't wait for him to waste Three Talon Strike. It has a low cooldown and it's very inexpensive. He's encouraged to max it first and will probably do just that.

Lots of debuffs, Heavy steroids in attack speed and life steal, and sustained damage and hardy resistance would do him in. He doesn't actually scale into a fight it's really just the initial chain burst.
