Xin Zhao Wild Rift Counter-Guide

Xin Zhao wird stark von kite- oder disengage-Kompositionen gekontert, die ihn auf Distanz halten und seine scatter ultimate wirkungslos machen. Champions mit invulnerability oder dashes, die seine Zone verlassen, machen ihn machtlos. Seine Abhängigkeit vom Zugang zu Carrys führt dazu, dass sein Impact gegen gruppierte Kompositionen gering ist.

Hard Counters

2

Diese Champions haben ein Build und einen Spielstil, der deinen direkt überlegen ist, was die Kontrolle der Lane und das Farmen extrem schwierig machen kann. Ihr Kit kann deine Kernstärken neutralisieren oder dich bestrafen, sobald du versuchst, deinen gewohnten Spielplan umzusetzen. In diesen Matchups geht es oft darum, Fehler zu minimieren und nach Wegen zu suchen, außerhalb der direkten Konfrontation zu gewinnen.

Rammus

Rammus

duelingpunish_auto_attacks Rammus directly counters your aggressive skirmishing because of his massive armor scaling. When you engage with Audacious Charge, you are baited into using Three Talon Strike. To get the vital knock-up, you must land three consecutive strikes, which forces you to repeatedly auto-attack him. This triggers his Defensive Ball Curl, reflecting massive damage back at you while his Rolling Armordillo passive turns his armor into lethal offensive power. Details ansehen

Warum

Rammus directly counters your aggressive skirmishing because of his massive armor scaling. When you engage with Audacious Charge, you are baited into using Three Talon Strike. To get the vital knock-up, you must land three consecutive strikes, which forces you to repeatedly auto-attack him. This triggers his Defensive Ball Curl, reflecting massive damage back at you while his Rolling Armordillo passive turns his armor into lethal offensive power.

Lane-Einfluss

In the jungle, this matchup restricts your early-game dominance. If you meet Rammus in the river, you cannot duel him safely; any 1v1 trade leaves you too low to contest Scuttle Crabs. During ganks, if he counter-ganks with Powerball and Soaring Slam, he can easily lock you down under Frenzying Taunt. You lose your natural priority, forcing your laners to play defensively as your map pressure evaporates.

Wie man spielt

To survive, you must play strictly around his cooldown windows. Never initiate with Audacious Charge if his curl is ready. Instead, use the long-range sweep of Wind Becomes Lightning to slow him and keep your distance. If he rolls at you with Powerball, use Crescent Guard to knock him back before he impacts. If caught, hold your Three Talon Strike and stop auto-attacking entirely until his Defensive Ball Curl expires, even if it delays your knock-up.

Poppy

Poppy

hard_counterpeel_threat The jungle matchup hinges entirely on how Poppy's dash-blocking barrier neutralizes your primary gap-closer. When you attempt to close the distance on an enemy marked by Wind Becomes Lightning, Poppy can activate her zone to instantly interrupt Audacious Charge. This interruption knocks you down, leaving you stranded, unable to reach your target to unleash Three Talon Strike or benefit from Determination healing. Details ansehen

This interruption knocks you down, leaving you stranded, unable to reach your target to unleash Three Talon Strike or benefit from Determination healing.

Lane-Einfluss

This interaction severely cripples your early skirmishing and ganking pressure. If Poppy counter-ganks, she renders your engage useless, leaving your targets completely safe. You lose the ability to contest Scuttle Crabs or secure early objectives because she can zone you away from the pit. This forces you into a passive farming style, giving her team free reign over the map lanes while you fall behind in pressure.

Wie man spielt

To survive this matchup, you must alter your skirmish approach. Never lead with Audacious Charge. Instead, walk directly into melee range to strike with Three Talon Strike, forcing Poppy to decide whether to activate her barrier prematurely. Use Wind Becomes Lightning purely for its slow to help you close the gap on foot. If forced into a teamfight, use Crescent Guard to knock her away before attempting to charge her allies.

When you activate Three Talon Strike, Jax can negate all three enhanced basic attacks, completely denying your third-strike knockup and healing from Determination.

This interaction limits your early-game freedom, forcing you to concede contested Scuttle Crabs or direct 1v1 fights in the river. If you attempt to invade or contest neutral camps blindly, Jax can force a duel, absorb your Audacious Charge burst, and stun you. This concession slows down your early map pressure, giving Jax a safe route to scale into a split-pushing threat.

Wie man spielt

To survive and win these skirmishes, you must bait out Counter Strike before committing your main cooldowns. Start the fight with Wind Becomes Lightning to slow him from a distance, forcing him to jump with Leap Strike or activate his evasion early. Walk away or use Crescent Guard to knock him back if he engages. Only trigger Audacious Charge and Three Talon Strike once his defensive spin goes on cooldown, ensuring your knockup connects.

Warwick

Warwick

skirmishsustain Direct duels in the jungle favor Warwick because of how his defensive tools disrupt your main combo. When you engage, he can activate Primal Howl to absorb the damage from your Three Talon Strike. The subsequent fear effect interrupts your third strike before you can trigger the knockup, meaning you cannot stop his healing. Without your crowd control, his low-health healing from Eternal Hunger easily outlasts your own Determination healing in a prolonged fight. Details ansehen

Lane-Einfluss

This dynamic strips away your usual early-game dominance, forcing you to concede contested Scuttle Crabs or direct river skirmishes. If you attempt to invade or fight him at level three, you risk giving up first blood, which accelerates his Blood Hunt map pressure. Consequently, you will find yourself unable to match his early objective pressure, forcing you to play defensively and rely on your laners to rotate during skirmishes.

Wie man spielt

To survive, you must bait out Primal Howl before committing your main damage. Start trades with Wind Becomes Lightning from a distance to slow him, forcing him to walk up. If he activates his damage reduction, disengage immediately and wait for the howl to expire. Save Crescent Guard to knock him away if he locks you down with Infinite Duress or clings to you with Jaws of the Beast, allowing you to reset the fight on your own terms.

Without this crowd control, you cannot guarantee your damage output, and you lose the sustained healing provided by your Determination.

Lane-Einfluss

In early river skirmishes or jungle invasions, you cannot afford to take straightforward duels. Engaging with Audacious Charge while her defensive tool is ready allows her to negate your burst, turning the fight around with Formless Blade and Slipstream. This forces you to play defensively around Scuttle Crabs, giving up early map priority and delaying your transition into successful ganks.

Wie man spielt

To win these skirmishes, bait her defenses before committing your main damage. Start the encounter by slowing her with Wind Becomes Lightning from a distance. If she activates Jubilant Veil, immediately back away and wait out the duration. Only activate Three Talon Strike once her dodge zone expires. Save your Audacious Charge to follow her Slipstream dash, and use Crescent Guard to push her away if she attempts to recover health using Apotheosis.

Skarner

Skarner

peel_threatutility_clash This matchup swings heavily in Skarner's favor due to how his ultimate nullifies your primary defense. While you rely on Crescent Guard to block incoming ranged damage during skirmishes, Skarner can bypass this entire zone by using Impale. He suppresses you, completely ignoring your displacement immunity, and drags you directly out of your protective circle. This leaves you totally exposed to his team's focus fire while disabling your damage output. Details ansehen

He suppresses you, completely ignoring your displacement immunity, and drags you directly out of your protective circle. This leaves you totally exposed to his team's focus fire while disabling your damage output.

Lane-Einfluss

In the jungle, Skarner scales much better into teamfights, forcing you to seek early skirmishes before he gets too tanky. However, contesting neutral objectives becomes highly risky. If you initiate with Audacious Charge, he can easily counter-engage with Ixtal's Impact to pin you to a wall. This defensive pressure forces your laners to play passively, as you cannot safely guarantee front-line priority or secure easy drakes.

Wie man spielt

To survive teamfights, you must change your entry angle and play defensively. Never be the primary initiator. Wait for Skarner to waste Impale on a tanky ally, or bait out his Ixtal's Impact before committing. Use Wind Becomes Lightning from a distance to poke and slow him down. If he advances to grab you, use Three Talon Strike to knock him up quickly, interrupting his positioning before he can pull you away from your team.

Since your engage is stopped cold, you cannot stick to him to land the third hit of Three Talon Strike for the knockup. This allows Gragas to disengage at will or turn the fight with Drunken Rage while you are stranded without your primary gap-closer.

Lane-Einfluss

In river skirmishes and jungle duels, Gragas dictates the pace. If you try to force an encounter, his Body Slam denies your burst, and he can easily zone you away from neutral monsters with Barrel Roll. This makes securing Scuttle Crabs highly risky, as he can constantly disrupt your Determination healing cycles, forcing you to concede early river priority or risk being counter-ganked while your skills are on cooldown.

Wie man spielt

To win these jungle duels, never initiate with Audacious Charge. Instead, walk up to Gragas or slow him first using Wind Becomes Lightning, forcing him to make the first move. If he panics and uses Body Slam offensively or to escape, that is your cue to immediately follow up with Audacious Charge to stick to him and trigger Three Talon Strike. If he holds his displacement, use Crescent Guard to isolate him from his team before he can scatter yours with Explosive Cask.

Ambessa

knockup_blockdueling Early jungle skirmishes between Xin Zhao and Ambessa are decided by a tight reaction-time window.

This block not only absorbs your knock-up but triggers her shield and counter-damage, swinging what should be a winning duel directly into her favor.

Lane-Einfluss

Because of this interaction, contesting Scuttle Crabs or invading her jungle becomes a high-stakes guessing game. If you engage blindly with Audacious Charge, she can easily kite with Drakehound's Step and wait for your third strike to deploy Repudiation. A failed duel means giving her Public Execution resets later, which completely destroys your team's skirmish pressure around the early neutral objectives.

Wie man spielt

To win these duels, you must bait out her shield before committing your knock-up. Strike her twice with Three Talon Strike, then deliberately pause your basic attacks or use Wind Becomes Lightning to slow her down and force her to panic-cast Repudiation. If she holds it, use Audacious Charge to stay glued to her during Drakehound's Step dashes, saving your final knock-up punch until her glowing shield visual effect fades.

You must burst him down or disable him before he reaches five stacks and gains massive power.

Lane-Einfluss

In the river and jungle corridors, every encounter is highly volatile. If you meet Darius near the Scuttle Crab, the skirmish is decided instantly by who initiates. Initiating with Wind Becomes Lightning to slow him allows you to control the engagement distance, but if Darius pulls you in with Apprehend first, you are forced into an extended fight where his Noxian Guillotine will execute you easily, giving up early map priority.

Wie man spielt

To win these skirmishes, you must play around his healing. When Darius winds up Decimate, use Audacious Charge immediately to dash inside the inner handle of his axe, minimizing his damage and denying his heal. If he manages to stack Hemorrhage to four, activate Crescent Guard to knock him back and disengage. Never commit to a duel if your Three Talon Strike is on cooldown, as you lack the crowd control to interrupt his stacking.

While your sustained damage via Determination keeps you healthy, your primary setup relies on the third hit of Three Talon Strike.

If he baits your crowd control into his decoy, his Stone Skin armor bonus allows him to easily turn the duel around.

Lane-Einfluss

Early scuttle crab fights and jungle invades are incredibly tense because neither of you can force an easy win. If you overcommit with Audacious Charge before he deploys his clone, you risk getting trapped in his Cyclone while your main displacement is on cooldown. This stalemate delays your early map pressure, as a single misstep in these duels hands over total river control and neutral objective priority to the surviving jungler.

Wie man spielt

To win these duels, never rush your combos. Start the fight with Wind Becomes Lightning from a distance to slow him down, forcing Wukong to make the first move. When you engage with Audacious Charge, activate Three Talon Strike but delay your third auto-attack slightly. If he panics and uses Warrior Trickster, switch your target or walk away briefly to let the clone expire, then unleash your knock-up on the real, reappearing monkey.

In the jungle, this interaction strips Jarvan IV of his early skirmishing pressure. He cannot safely contest scuttle crabs or neutral objectives because if he commits his Demacian Standard and Dragon Strike combo to engage, he is locked into a melee brawl he cannot win. Your superior sustained healing from Determination ensures you exit early skirmishes with higher health, forcing him to concede river control and play defensively.

Wie man spielt

To execute this perfectly, never use Crescent Guard prematurely. Hold your ultimate specifically for the moment Jarvan IV lands his Cataclysm on your team. Once the arena forms, immediately activate your ultimate to block the incoming barrage from his backline. Focus him down with Three Talon Strike to knock him up inside his own walls, and use Audacious Charge to stick to him if he tries to escape with Golden Aegis.

Since Kayn cannot easily stack his passive, The Darkin Scythe, against a champion who constantly knocks him up, he is forced to concede early map pressure.

This interaction completely shifts the jungle pressure in your favor during the opening minutes. Kayn cannot contest the Rift Scuttlers or fight you at your camps, often forcing him to use Shadow Step defensively to escape through walls rather than finding creative gank angles. Because he is starved of early skirmishes, his transformation via The Darkin Scythe is heavily delayed, relieving immense pressure from your laners.

Wie man spielt

Actively invade Kayn's jungle during his first clear to force a fight. Do not initiate with Audacious Charge; walk up to him, trigger Three Talon Strike to interrupt his Reaping Slash, and save Audacious Charge to follow him when he tries to escape through a wall with Shadow Step. If he manages to infect you with Umbral Trespass, prepare to cast Crescent Guard immediately upon his exit to knock away his allies and secure the kill.

The third strike of Three Talon Strike provides a reliable knockup that immediately interrupts his channel, leaving him incredibly squishy and defenseless. Combined with the passive healing from Determination, you easily win any isolated 1v1 before he can even think about escaping.

Lane-Einfluss

Because you dominate the 1v1, you can aggressively invade Fiddlesticks' jungle camps starting from level two. He cannot contest the Scuttle Crabs or defend his own raptor camp if you catch him clearing. This forces him to play incredibly defensively, delaying his level five power spike and neutralizing the threat of an early game-changing Crowstorm jump from the fog of war.

Wie man spielt

When invading, do not immediately blow Three Talon Strike. Instead, initiate with Audacious Charge and basic attacks, holding your knockup specifically to cancel Bountiful Harvest the moment he starts channeling it. Position yourself near bushes to drop vision of his A Harmless Scarecrow effigies, and keep your red ward active. If he manages to fear you with Terrify and runs, use Wind Becomes Lightning to slow him down and close the gap again.

Once on top of her, the rapid knock-up from Three Talon Strike disrupts her movement pattern and cancels her escape attempts before she can build momentum or land Watch Out! Eep!.

This matchup dynamic grants you massive early-game agency in the jungle. Lillia cannot safely contest scuttle crabs or defend her own camps if you decide to invade. Your threat of an all-in forces her to concede territory, meaning you can easily secure early neutral objectives. If she tries to fight for priority, a quick Audacious Charge combo will force her out of the river or secure a first blood.

Wie man spielt

When hunting Lillia, position yourself in brush near her jungle camps to ambush her before she stacks her passive. Avoid engaging when she already has maximum movement speed. Hold Wind Becomes Lightning to slow her down if she tries to roll away with Swirlseed. If she attempts to cast Watch Out!

This allows you to invade his camps aggressively, secure double scuttle crabs, and apply immense pressure on his lanes while he falls behind.

This dynamic completely shuts down Twitch's flanking threat. Even if he uses Ambush to catch you off guard, your reactive ultimate shuts down his burst. In river skirmishes, this range denial prevents him from melting your team from the backline, severely limiting his objective pressure. He cannot contest scuttles or neutral objectives without risking a direct, lethal engage from you the moment he opens fire.

Never initiate fights with Audacious Charge unless Twitch is already isolated. Instead, walk up or wait for him to reveal himself. The moment he activates Spray and Pray, immediately deploy Crescent Guard. Force him to waste his ultimate duration or walk into your melee range. Once he crosses the threshold, slow him with Wind Becomes Lightning, then execute your Audacious Charge and Three Talon Strike combo to quickly crush him before he can escape.

Wie man diesen Champion kontert

Konter-Winkel

Xin Zhao zu kontern, geht es nicht nur darum, seinen ersten gank zu vermeiden. Das eigentliche Ziel ist es, die Verbindung zwischen seinem Einstieg, seinem Q3 und der anschließenden Umwandlung zu durchbrechen. Wenn er das Ziel mit E erreicht, lange genug bleibt, um es hochzuschleudern, und dann seine ultimative Fähigkeit nutzt, um zu isolieren oder zu überleben, bekommt er die Art von Kampf, die er will. Gute Konter bestrafen ihn auf drei Arten: Sie gewinnen das verlängerte Duell, hindern ihn daran, am Ziel zu bleiben, oder drehen seinen Angriff gegen ihn, sobald seine Abklingzeiten aufgebraucht sind. Diese Seite sollte als verschiedene Wege gelesen werden, sein Timing zu vereiteln, nicht als einfache Liste von Champions, die ihn schlagen.

Patch-Kontext

Xin Zhao wird weitaus weniger bedrohlich, wenn der Gegner die kurzen Kämpfe ablehnt, die er selbst wählt. Sein Early ist stark, aber er mag es nicht, eine bereits vorbereitete Zone zu betreten, besonders wenn gegnerische Lanes Priorität haben oder wenn ein haltbarerer Jungler den Tausch verlängern kann. Champions, die seinen DPS reduzieren, seinen anfänglichen Burst blockieren oder seinen Q3 überleben können, zwingen Xin Zhao, seine ultimative Fähigkeit defensiv einzusetzen. Von da an verliert sein Team oft den entscheidenden Punkt, der den Kampf eröffnen sollte.

  • Die beste Kontermöglichkeit ist, ihn zu früh angreifen zu lassen: Sobald E und W aufgebraucht sind, hat Xin Zhao viel weniger Kontrolle darüber, was als Nächstes passiert.
  • Haltbare Duellanten und Champions, die seinen DPS reduzieren, durchbrechen seinen Plan, da er schnell gewinnen oder eine nützliche Isolation schaffen muss.
  • Tiefe Vision ist unerlässlich: Wenn Xin Zhao seinen Überraschungswert verliert, werden seine Ganks viel leichter zu lesen und zu bestrafen.

Konter-Archetypen

Duellanten, die verlängerten Kontakt überleben

Xin Zhao will, dass sein erster Kontakt sofortigen Vorteil bringt: schneller Schaden, Q3, dann ultimative Fähigkeit, um die Zone zu sperren. Duellanten, die diese erste Sequenz absorbieren und weiter angreifen, verändern den Kampf komplett. Jax kann sein Auto-Attack-Timing viel unangenehmer machen, Olaf akzeptiert direkte Kämpfe, ohne leicht kontrolliert zu werden, und Volibear verwandelt Nahkampf in einen ungünstigen Zermürbungskrieg. Dieses Profil zwingt Xin Zhao zu fragen, ob er wirklich schnell fertig werden kann, denn wenn er zu lange bleibt, wird sein Angriff zur Falle.

Wie sich der Champion anpasst. Xin Zhao sollte isolierte Duelle ohne Priorität vermeiden und mehr um Konter-Ganks oder vorbereitete Ziele spielen. Gegen diesen Champion-Typ muss er sein Early Game nutzen, um einen Zahlenvorteil zu schaffen, nicht um zu beweisen, dass er jedes 1v1 gewinnt.

Frontliner, die seinen Angriff gegen ihn wenden

Xin Zhao ist gerne derjenige, der den ersten Einschlag bestimmt. Frontliner, die die Zone sperren oder sofort reagieren können, machen diesen Einstieg viel riskanter. Rammus bestraft sein Bedürfnis, in Kontakt zu bleiben, Vi kann mit direktem Zielen reagieren, das einen Teil seines Isolationsversuchs ignoriert, und Jarvan IV kann einen Flusskampf in eine geschlossene Zone verwandeln, in der Xin Zhao nicht mehr frei seinen Ausweg wählt. Diese Art von Konter funktioniert, weil sie Xin Zhaos Hauptkomfort beseitigt: hineingehen, treffen, dann entscheiden, ob man weitermacht oder zurückgeht.

Wie sich der Champion anpasst. Er sollte warten, bis diese Champions ihre Crowd Control oder ihren Angriff zeigen, bevor er sich voll einbringt. Wenn er zuerst angreift, ohne ihre Abklingzeiten zu verfolgen, riskiert er, dem Gegner den perfekten Ausgangspunkt zu geben.

Jungler, die sein Tempo oder seinen Zugang brechen

Xin Zhao ist sehr stark, wenn sein jungle-Pfad natürlich zu einer lesbaren Aktion führt: Level 3, überdehnte Lane, dann Ziel. Jungler, die das Tempo verschieben, anders kontern oder ihn zum Reagieren zwingen, machen diesen Plan weniger stabil. Lee Sin kann Winkel vor ihm schaffen oder offensichtliche Einstiege bestrafen, Graves kann Raum und DPS spielen, ohne den gleichen Kontakt zu akzeptieren, Wukong bedroht gruppierte Kämpfe, bei denen Xin Zhaos ultimative Fähigkeit nicht immer alle kontrolliert, und Rengar kann Seiten angreifen, auf denen Xin Zhao noch nicht positioniert ist. Der Konter kommt weniger von einem einfachen Duell und mehr davon, ihn daran zu hindern, den ersten echten Zug zu bestimmen.

Wie sich der Champion anpasst. Xin Zhao sollte blind seinem Rhythmus nicht folgen. Er braucht einen klaren Plan: eine verwundbare Lane abdecken, den Konter-gank spielen oder mit Priorität ein Ziel erzwingen, anstatt jeder gegnerischen Bewegung nachzujagen.

Prioritäts-Matchups

Jax

Jax ist ein Prioritäts-Matchup zum Verständnis, da er den Kern von Xin Zhaos Muster angreift: in Kontakt bleiben und Auto-Attacks in Duell-Druck umwandeln. Wenn Xin Zhao ohne klaren Vorteil angreift, kann Jax das erste Zeitfenster absorbieren, Q3 weniger lohnend machen und dann den Kampf gewinnen, wenn er sich verlängert. Der richtige Ansatz ist nicht, das 1v1 aus Ego zu suchen, sondern Jax zu zwingen, auf Zahlenvorteil, Ziele oder mit verbundener Crowd Control vorbereitete Ganks zu reagieren.

Rammus

Rammus schafft ein anderes Problem: Er versucht nicht unbedingt, Xin Zhao durch Geschwindigkeit zu schlagen, sondern indem er seine Entscheidung zum Angriff bestraft. Da Xin Zhao an seinem Ziel bleiben muss, um Wert aus Q und Conqueror zu ziehen, setzt er sich einer sehr direkten defensiven Antwort aus. In diesem Matchup muss der Xin Zhao-Spieler viel geduldiger mit dem Angriff sein und vermeiden, automatisch das erste verfügbare Ziel anzuvisieren. Es ist oft besser, um Lanes, Ziele und Rammus-Timing herum zu spielen, anstatt ein Frontalduell zu erzwingen.

Häufige Fehler gegen ihn

Häufige Fehler gegen ihn

  • Ihm ein Flussduell ohne Lane-Priorität geben und dann zu spät erkennen, dass sein Level 3 den kurzen Kontakt gewinnt.
  • Die Vision zu defensiv halten: Wenn Xin Zhao nur gesehen wird, wenn er die Lane betritt, hat er bereits seinen Winkel gefunden.
  • Sich in einem Engpass gruppieren, ohne seine ultimative Fähigkeit zu respektieren, wenn er die Reaktion aufteilen und seinem Team erlauben kann, ein Ziel zu beenden.
  • Versuchen, ihn zu bursten, ohne genug Anti-Heal oder Crowd Control zu haben, und ihm dann erlauben, mit Conqueror, Triumph und Death's Dance in Kontakt zu bleiben.
  • Xin Zhao wartet oft, bis das Ziel keine Antwort mehr hat, um seinen Q3 zu garantieren, indem er alle Disengage-Tools vor seinem E einsetzt.

Coach-Notizen

  • Gegen Xin Zhao ist das Wichtigste, ihm nicht den ersten Kampf zu geben, den er will. Wenn er zögern muss, bevor er sein E einsetzt, hast du bereits einen großen Teil seiner Bedrohung reduziert.
  • Bewerte das Matchup nicht nur anhand des 1v1. Xin Zhao gewinnt oft, weil sein Einstieg ein einfaches Play für sein Team schafft, nicht weil er jeden allein besiegt.

FAQ

Wie vermeidest du die frühen Ganks von Xin Zhao?

Du musst früher wärden als gegen einen langsamen Jungler und dann um seinen wahrscheinlichen Weg herum spielen. Xin Zhao bedroht stark ab Level 3, daher wird eine überdehnte Lane ohne Sicht auf den Fluss oder Tribush zu einem natürlichen Ziel. Das Wichtigste ist, deinen Escape nicht erst nach Q3 zu retten, wenn er bereits in Kontakt ist: Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hat er oft erreicht, was er wollte. Sich zurückzuziehen, bevor er sein E einsetzt, oder seinen W danebenzuschlagen, ist besser, als zu spät zu Flashen.

Warum nerven manche Tank-Champions Xin Zhao so sehr?

Weil Xin Zhao will, dass sein Einstieg schnell einen echten Vorteil schafft. Wenn er ein Ziel angreift, das seinen Burst absorbiert, seinen DPS reduziert oder ihn zwingt, zu lange zu bleiben, verliert er die Kontrolle über das Timing. Seine Ultimate kann einen Teil des Kampfes wegstoßen, aber sie löst nicht alles, wenn das Hauptziel nicht fällt. Tanky oder haltbare Champions zwingen ihn oft, Cooldowns zu überleben, anstatt die Eröffnung zu schaffen, die den Kampf gewinnen sollte.

Solltest du Xin Zhao früh invaden?

Nur mit Priorität und Information. Xin Zhao ist genau die Art von Jungler, die einen schlecht vorbereiteten Invade drehen kann, besonders wenn seine Lanes vor deinen ankommen. Ihn zu invaden, nur weil er sichtbar ist, reicht nicht aus: Du musst seine Cooldowns kennen, welche Lanes sich bewegen können und ob der Kampf kurz oder lang sein wird. Ohne diese Bedingungen ist es oft besser, ihn zu tracken, die Lane zu schützen, die er angreifen will, und ihn dann zu bestrafen, wenn sein erster gank nichts bringt.

Wie kämpfst du im Team gegen Xin Zhao?

Du musst vermeiden, ihm zu Beginn des Kampfes ein isoliertes Ziel zu geben. Wenn Xin Zhao mit E auf einen Carry springen, Q3 sichern und seine Ultimate benutzen kann, um den Rest des Teams wegzustoßen, schafft er genau das Szenario, das er will. Die beste Antwort ist, ihn zu zwingen, auf ein weniger wichtiges Ziel einzutreten, Disengage nach seinem ersten Dash bereitzuhalten und dann wieder anzugreifen, wenn seine Ultimate oder Q3 die Zone nicht mehr kontrollieren. Geduld und Spacing sind mehr wert als chaotischer Burst.
