What spells have you guys been running on your Xins? My buddy usually runs Flash/Ignite. I've been trying combinations of Ghost/Exhaust, Exhaust/Ignite, Ghost/Ignite, etc
Ghost Flash.
Ghost to get into the melee, Flash to get out again. 9/0/21.

Malady is a great item on ranged AS/AP hybrids like Teemo, Kayle, and TF (an argument can be made for guys like Jax but he has other priorities). It's kind of junky on pure AS guys like Xin.
SotD is the pure offensive AS choice, Wit's/Stark's/Bloodrazor (depending on need and gold available) are the defensive choices.
In other news, I can't make killer Xin work for the life of me. If he can't get those early couple kills during laning (partner gets it or its an unfavorable lane), I always seem to need to switch to tank Xin.
I'm having the same problem. Although one thing I've found is that move speed quints really help with his early lane phase, so you can GTFO or into a fight. But I still really have a hard time deciding on if ultimately HP or ArmPen Quints will help in the long run even more.
Is jungling Xin still viable? I'd imagine him being somewhat of a terror on ganks, especially with red.
Jungle Xin was marginal to begin with, but the health regen on level nerf fucked him hard, so no not really.
Poo. Although I'm curious if you run all AS runes and start with W...hmm... yeah, probably not.
Speaking of jungling, I smurfed last night to play with our newbie buddy and decided to jungle Fiddle. Ran into a bug on wraiths where he just stopped auto attacking, and wouldn't start auto attacking at all which ultimately lead to my death. Which lead to me being way behind in levels and money, and not able to gank the side lanes.
Jungle Xin was marginal to begin with, but the health regen on level nerf fucked him hard, so no not really.
Just tested jungle Xin, with non-optimal runes, he still goes minis->blue (skipping red) in about 4 minutes, without going below 50% hp. It's slower than the best junglers, but it's still not what I'd called "fucked".
What build are you going?
The run above was 0/21/9, Cloth+5, ArPen/Dodge(should be AS)/CDR (could be AS)/Crit (could be AS or ArPen).
With all this Sion lovin going around maybe people with experience with Sion can post some builds? Do people get max CDR on him and what would be a good way of doing so? Also specs and stuff
So I think I figured out why my game runs so messed up. I just got booted out of a match at start and my client is like 1.0.0.107 and the server version is 1.0.0.108.
Joy. Reinstalling now.

I wonder if ArmPen Reds/Quints and AS Blues/Yellows would work well with same items and 8/13/9 for AS in offence. Not really sure on the masteries though.
But yeah I was just last hitting for the most part, the enemy was fortunately not so they pushed hard and I had a chance to take advantage of my passive. The Lux was not terrible, just way too aggressive, she kept getting caught by pants leaping out of the brush and stunning her, I would jump in, knock him up and he would usually run but she caught a stun on him once and we killed him.

Did you just do a system restore? Don't do that. =/ System restore is the only reason I have my 2 leaves.

I hate the onion inside the onion rig. If people made onion rings, THEN REMOVED THE ONION, I would love it.
I had a friend who cracked open every onion ring and pulled the onion out. He loved onion rings, hated onions. Every time, I'd just say "mmmm fried breaded grease!", and he'd scoff and carry on eating onion ring skin.

I make these badass chicken cutlets. They're butterfly cut, then three stage breaded (all stages uses lots of garlic), then fried in olive oil. They're soooo good. You can then take them and make chicken parmesan if you like.
i have nothing but sour cream and tuna to dip my tortilla chips in... wait! i can use the tapatio, mix it all together, and have some rockin' chip dip!
The only thing better than onion are grilled garlic cloves.
pickled garlic

Played a game as Morgana and wound up with a ton of assists. I wasn't really paying attention to the score. I was too busy trying to Bind chasers, shield my allies, and drop Tormented Soil underneath anyone stupid enough to not move out of the way. I love laning as her and harassing the shit out of people, then pulling off a kill with a combo out of nowhere. I just need to learn to aim my skill shots better, since there were a few kills that we lost thanks to me whiffing a Dark Binding and hitting the fucking trees. Or a minion. ><

Those seem similar? Maybe the crit instead of health is helping out. I'm basing this off one of my friends who more commonly plays Xin and was unhappy with his jungling to begin with. Then again, he could well be incompetent.
Either way, he's so strong in alot of lanes that I can't imagine you would want to put him there as opposed to like half a dozen other champions.
In other news, Olaf continues to amuse in ranked. I was last pick, enemy team had Akali (first pick wtf), TF (don't care 'bout your gold card), Nasus (or your wither), Sion (or your cryptic gaze), and WW (or your ult). Every fight TF, you are going to die and then I am going to turn around and clean up the remnants of your team that decided for whatever inexplicable reason that chasing Leblanc was the best use of your resources.
So many GAs on both sides, though, it was amazing. On my team, Mundo and I had one. On their team, Akali and Nasus had them. I spent the second to last fight basically hiding inside Mundo at <100 HP as we wailed on someone for a solid 10 seconds and they couldn't manage to pop my GA with AoE, it was great.

Oniony fried batter, correct.
Even better - beer batter onion rings.

I was Zilean laning with an Eve (since she didnt want to jungle)
So I thought it would be funny to put a bomb on her as she was stealthing.
So I bombed her, she walked towards the enemy, bomb went off, enemies got hurt, she was still in stealth!
So is it a bug that Zilean's bombs on Eve keep Eve stealthed and hurts the enemies or a fun feature?
