Hard Counters

2

Esses campeões têm uma build e um estilo de jogo que superam diretamente o seu, o que pode tornar o controle da lane e o farm extremamente difíceis. As habilidades deles podem neutralizar seus principais pontos fortes ou te punir assim que você tenta jogar do seu jeito de sempre. Nesses matchups, o objetivo costuma ser reduzir os erros e buscar soluções fora do confronto direto.

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. Ver detalhes

Por quê

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.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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. Ver detalhes

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

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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.

Since your physical DPS and crowd control are tied to these auto-attacks, Jax easily wins any direct face-to-face clash by simply holding his defensive stance.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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.

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. Ver detalhes

Without your crowd control, his low-health healing from Eternal Hunger easily outlasts your own Determination healing in a prolonged fight.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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. Ver detalhes

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.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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.

counter_engageskirmish Gragas completely neutralizes your offensive pressure because his Body Slam can interrupt Audacious Charge mid-air.

Por quê

Gragas completely neutralizes your offensive pressure because his Body Slam can interrupt Audacious Charge mid-air. 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.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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.

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.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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.

However, if he survives this initial onslaught, his passive Hemorrhage begins to stack up, turning the tide as his damage escalates. You must burst him down or disable him before he reaches five stacks and gains massive power.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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. Ver detalhes

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

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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.

When Kayn attempts to duel or clear camps using Reaping Slash, the third strike of Three Talon Strike cancels his animations and forces him into a defensive posture.

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.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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!.

Impacto na lane

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.

Como jogar

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! Eep!, use Audacious Charge to dash behind her or reposition out of the high-damage epicenter, ensuring you win the trade cleanly.

By deploying Crescent Guard, you create a protective barrier that completely blocks her incoming fireball if she casts it from outside the ring, preventing her from ever applying that crucial mark.

Impacto na lane

This interaction completely shifts the jungle tempo in your favor. Knowing you can negate her Flame Breath poke allows you to aggressively invade her camps early. Shyvana is forced to play defensively, delaying her Fury of the Dragonborn stacking process. You will secure double Scuttle Crabs easily, establishing early vision control and forcing her to concede neutral objectives or risk dying in her own jungle.

When contesting camps, do not rush your ultimate. Wait for Shyvana to activate Burnout and attempt to space you with Flame Breath. Once she starts her cast animation from a distance, immediately drop Crescent Guard to vaporize the projectile. Follow up instantly with Audacious Charge and Three Talon Strike to knock her up before she can stack her Fury of the Dragonborn on nearby monsters.

This interaction strips Ekko of his early skirmishing power, forcing him to concede crab priority and avoid direct jungle duels. Since he cannot safely proc Z-Drive Resonance while your ultimate is ready, Ekko must rely on Phase Dive defensively rather than using it to invade. This allows you to invade his camps aggressively, secure double scuttle crabs, and apply immense pressure on his lanes while he falls behind.

Como jogar

To execute this flawlessly, do not initiate with Crescent Guard. Instead, wait for Ekko to commit with Phase Dive and launch Timewinder. The moment he does, activate Crescent Guard and use Audacious Charge to stick to him inside your arena, forcing him to fight in close quarters where Three Talon Strike will knock him up. If he tries to escape or turn the fight with Chronobreak, track his echo to avoid his ultimate's massive burst.

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.

Como counterar este campeão

Ângulo de counter

Contrariar o Xin Zhao não se resume apenas a evitar o primeiro gank dele. O verdadeiro objetivo é quebrar a ligação entre a aproximação dele, o Q3 e a finalização que se segue. Se ele atingir o alvo com o E, permanecer tempo suficiente para causar knock-up e, em seguida, usar sua ultimate para isolar ou sobreviver, ele consegue o tipo de combate que deseja. Boas contra-estratégias o punem de três maneiras: vencem o duelo prolongado, impedem que ele permaneça junto ao alvo ou revertem seu ataque contra ele assim que seus tempos de recarga se esgotarem. Esta página deve ser lida como diferentes maneiras de impedir que ele execute seu timing, e não como uma simples lista de campeões que o derrotam.

Contexto do patch

O Xin Zhao se torna bem menos opressivo quando o inimigo recusa as lutas rápidas que ele mesmo escolhe. Seu início de jogo é forte, mas ele não gosta de entrar em uma zona já preparada, especialmente se as linhas inimigas tiverem prioridade ou se um jungler mais resistente puder prolongar a troca de dano. Campeões capazes de reduzir seu DPS, bloquear seu burst inicial ou sobreviver ao seu Q3 forçam o Xin Zhao a usar sua ultimate defensivamente. A partir daí, sua equipe frequentemente perde o ponto de impacto que deveria ter dado início à luta.

Leitura rápida

  • A melhor estratégia para neutralizá-lo é fazê-lo atacar cedo demais: assim que E e W forem usados, o Xin Zhao tem muito menos controle sobre o que vai acontecer a seguir.
  • Duelistas resistentes e campeões que reduzem o DPS dele atrapalham seus planos, pois ele precisa vencer rapidamente ou criar um isolamento vantajoso.
  • É essencial ter uma visão abrangente: se o Xin Zhao perder o fator surpresa, suas emboscadas se tornam muito mais fáceis de prever e punir.

Arquétipos de counter

Duelistas que sobrevivem a um contato prolongado

Xin Zhao quer que seu primeiro contato gere uma vantagem imediata: dano rápido, Q3 e, em seguida, a habilidade definitiva para controlar a área. Os duelistas que absorvem essa primeira sequência e continuam atacando mudam completamente o equilíbrio da troca. O Jax pode tornar o timing do ataque automático dele muito menos confortável, o Olaf aceita confrontos diretos sem ser facilmente controlado, e o Volibear transforma um combate corpo a corpo prolongado em uma guerra de desgaste desfavorável. Esse perfil força o Xin Zhao a se perguntar se ele realmente consegue finalizar rapidamente, pois, se ficar por muito tempo, seu ataque inicial se torna uma armadilha.

Como o campeão deve se adaptar. Xin Zhao deve evitar duelos isolados sem prioridade e se concentrar mais em contra-ganks ou objetivos planejados. Contra esse tipo de campeão, ele deve aproveitar o início da partida para criar vantagem numérica, e não para provar que vence todos os 1v1.

Personagens de linha de frente que usam o “Engage” dele contra ele

O Xin Zhao gosta de ser quem decide o primeiro impacto. Os jogadores da linha de frente que conseguem bloquear a zona ou responder imediatamente tornam essa entrada muito mais arriscada. O Rammus castiga sua necessidade de manter contato, o Vi pode responder com ataques direcionados que ignoram parte de sua tentativa de isolamento, e o Jarvan IV pode transformar uma escaramuça no rio em uma zona fechada, onde o Xin Zhao não pode mais escolher livremente sua saída. Esse tipo de contra-ataque funciona porque retira o principal trunfo do Xin Zhao: entrar, atacar e, então, decidir se continua ou recua.

Como o campeão deve se adaptar. Ele deve esperar que esses campeões mostrem suas habilidades de controle de multidão ou iniciem o combate antes de se comprometer totalmente. Se ele entrar primeiro sem acompanhar os tempos de recarga deles, corre o risco de dar ao inimigo a oportunidade perfeita para começar.

Jogadores da mata que quebram o ritmo dele ou conseguem acessar

O Xin Zhao é muito forte quando sua trajetória jungle leva naturalmente a uma ação previsível: nível 3, rota excessivamente avançada e, em seguida, objetivo. Junglers capazes de alterar o ritmo, disputar de maneira diferente ou forçá-lo a reagir tornam esse plano menos estável. O Lee Sin pode criar ângulos à sua frente ou punir entradas óbvias; o Graves pode explorar o espaço e causar DPS sem aceitar o mesmo contato; o Wukong representa uma ameaça em lutas em grupo, onde a ultimate do Xin Zhao nem sempre controla todos; e o Rengar pode atacar pelos flancos onde o Xin Zhao ainda não está posicionado. A contrapartida vem menos de um simples duelo e mais de impedir que ele dite a primeira jogada decisiva.

Como o campeão deve se adaptar. Xin Zhao deve evitar seguir cegamente o ritmo do adversário. Ele precisa de um plano claro: proteger uma rota vulnerável, jogar na contra-gank ou forçar um objetivo prioritário, em vez de ficar perseguindo cada movimento do inimigo.

Matchups prioritários

Jax

O confronto contra o Jax é fundamental de se entender, pois ele ataca o cerne da estratégia do Xin Zhao: manter o contato e transformar os ataques automáticos em pressão no duelo. Se o Xin Zhao iniciar o combate sem uma vantagem clara, o Jax pode absorver o primeiro ataque, tornar o Q3 menos vantajoso e, então, sair vencedor à medida que a luta se prolonga. A abordagem correta não é buscar o 1v1 por orgulho, mas forçar o Jax a responder à vantagem numérica, aos objetivos ou a emboscadas preparadas com controle de multidão dos aliados.

Rammus

O Rammus cria um problema diferente: ele não tenta necessariamente derrotar o Xin Zhao com velocidade, mas sim punindo a decisão deste de entrar na luta. Como o Xin Zhao precisa se manter fiel ao seu alvo para obter vantagem com o Q e o Conqueror, ele se expõe a uma resposta defensiva muito direta. Nesse confronto, o jogador do Xin Zhao precisa ser muito mais paciente ao iniciar o combate e evitar atacar automaticamente o primeiro alvo disponível. Muitas vezes, é melhor jogar em torno das rotas, dos objetivos e do momento certo do Rammus, em vez de forçar um duelo frontal.

Erros comuns contra ele

Erros comuns contra ele

  • Entrar em um duelo no river sem ter prioridade na lane e, só então, perceber tarde demais que o nível 3 dele leva a melhor nesse confronto breve.
  • Manter a visão de forma excessivamente defensiva: se o Xin Zhao só for avistado quando ele entrar na rota, isso significa que ele já encontrou seu ângulo.
  • Agrupar-se em um ponto de estrangulamento sem levar em conta a habilidade definitiva dele, quando ele poderia dividir a resposta e deixar que sua equipe finalize um alvo.
  • Tentar derrotá-lo rapidamente sem ter recursos suficientes contra cura ou controle de grupo, permitindo assim que ele permaneça sob o efeito de Conquistador, Triunfo e Dança da Morte.
  • Ao usar todas as habilidades de desengate antes do seu E: Xin Zhao costuma esperar até que o alvo não tenha mais nenhuma resposta para garantir o acerto do seu Q3.

Notas do coach

  • Contra o Xin Zhao, o mais importante é não dar a ele a primeira luta que ele quer. Se ele tiver que hesitar antes de usar o E, você já terá reduzido boa parte da ameaça que ele representa.
  • Não avalie o confronto apenas com base no 1v1. O Xin Zhao costuma vencer porque sua entrada cria uma jogada simples para sua equipe, e não porque ele derrota todos sozinho.

FAQ

Como evitar os ganks precoces do Xin Zhao?

Você precisa colocar as sentinelas mais cedo do que contra um jungler lento e, em seguida, jogar antecipando o caminho provável dele. O Xin Zhao representa uma grande ameaça a partir do nível 3, então uma rota muito avançada, sem visão no rio ou no arbusto lateral, se torna um alvo natural. O mais importante é não guardar sua fuga para depois do Q3 se ele já estiver em contato: nesse ponto, ele geralmente já conseguiu o que queria. Recuar antes do E dele ou fazer com que o W dele erre é melhor do que usar o Flash tarde demais.

Por que alguns campeões resistentes incomodam tanto o Xin Zhao?

Porque o Xin Zhao quer que sua jogada gere uma vantagem real rapidamente. Se ele enfrentar um alvo que absorva seu dano concentrado, reduza seu DPS ou o force a permanecer na luta por muito tempo, ele perde o controle do ritmo da jogada. Sua habilidade definitiva pode afastar parte do combate, mas não resolve tudo se o alvo principal não for derrotado. Campeões resistentes ou duráveis muitas vezes o forçam a usar habilidades com tempo de recarga para sobreviver, em vez de criar a abertura que deveria garantir a vitória na luta.

Você deveria invadir o Xin Zhao antes do tempo?

Só com prioridade e informação. O Xin Zhao é exatamente o tipo de jungler capaz de virar uma invasão mal preparada, especialmente se as linhas dele chegarem antes das suas. Invadir só porque ele está visível não é suficiente: você precisa saber os tempos de recarga dele, quais linhas podem se mover e se a luta será curta ou prolongada. Sem essas condições, muitas vezes é melhor rastreá-lo, proteger a linha que ele quer atacar e, então, puni-lo quando seu primeiro gank não der em nada.

Como se lida com o Xin Zhao em combates em equipe?

É preciso evitar dar a ele um alvo isolado no início da luta. Se o Xin Zhao conseguir usar o E em um carry, garantir o Q3 e usar sua ultimate para afastar o resto da equipe, ele cria exatamente o cenário que deseja. A melhor estratégia é forçá-lo a atacar um alvo menos importante, manter a distância após sua primeira investida e, então, retomar o combate quando sua habilidade definitiva ou Q3 não estiverem mais controlando a área. Paciência e posicionamento valem mais do que um ataque repentino e desorganizado.
