This suggests Gwen's kit specifically counters Xin Zhao's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution.

Survive and scale: Xin Zhao faces both matchup (49.82%) and farming disadvantages (6.04 vs 6.55/min). With a 0.51 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Outclassed across the board: Gwen leads in both matchup win rate (50.2%) and damage (764 vs 674/min). Xin Zhao must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination.
