Pure AP Xin isn't viable because he doesn't do damage, one burst from his E followed by Lich Bane procs.
But after that he is doing a lot less than he could for his team :/
If you reallllly want AP Xin then you should build him Hybrid imo. You could do decent burst damage and do Magic and AD if you got a Guinsoo's etc.
But Pure AP Xin is just poop, have fun getting instakilled by the rest of the enemy team :L
I prefer to build Xin as a utility tank that helps shred enemy armor and capitalize on early game ganks anyway.
