How to play against Xin Zhao

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Ward his early route and lean to the covered side of lane. Avoid extended trades when your main escape or R is down.
2. Thin waves before he can gank through a long lane. He needs time to stack autos and force the knock-up.
3. Track him before pushing side waves. If he is missing and strong, catch the wave from safety instead of giving him an isolated pick.
4. Collapse on him before objective damage starts. Removing the enemy jungler turns Baron or dragon from a fight into a secure take.
5. Kite out his R zone instead of dumping damage into it. Re-engage once the protection falls and his dash is spent.

Where Xin Zhao is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Xin Zhao needs direct access to one target, so slows and peel break the extended duel he wants.
• Xin Zhao's early skirmish identity loses value when fights stretch out around protected carries and layered disengage.
