So what about that upcoming Xerath, huh? There is an Art Spotlight and mechanics on the website.

Seems quite interesting though I can't help but feel the concept a bit overpowered, especially for ambushes and teamfights, but they haven't really said how long-range his abilities actually are.

He might be the first champion I buy, though

I was just thinking about that, bro :]. The long-rage artillery concept behind this guy is really interesting! But you're right, he does seem overpowered as hell. Any idea on whether this "artillery/seige mode" is his ultimate? I mean, if that wasn't the case, he could just sit there at his mid-turret and farm minions all day long.

[Shadowgandor]

That new champion sounds a lot like the champion I was thinking off. I too wanted a champion which could make himself immobile but grant him increased range. I thought it would've been interesting to have a stationary champion in a game that revolves so much around mobility and apparently, riot thought the same. :p

[Ahra]

no ulti was that artillery "barrage" of 3 shots that were high dmg and like grand skyfall range.

It seems likely that doing that would run you out of mana. Malzahar and Karthus are the only mages I can think of where using spells to farm is really viable.

[Graven]

The way I understood it the "artillery mode" is one of his abilities, and the other two are a laser, an ability which stuns the enemy if you hit him with another spell afterward, and the ult is a barrage of explosions.

I just think it'd be somewhat strange to sit in a bush somewhere and spam lazors at people.

On the other hand if we're losing I could probably  stand on the regeneration platform and spam lazors at people.

[Pandarsenic]

Oh, I hadn't even thought about that. Firing the linear-damage laser means you're probably gonna push your lane like mad if you aren't sniping very carefully and try to farm with it.

[Jopax]

This should make him quite strong in dominion i think, just smack him down on bot, he sets up and keeps bombarding anything that tries to come close to capping his point, or bombards anything that tries to come close to the other two points if his range will be like the one on Pantheon.

[Pandarsenic]

fffffff I want to try Dominion so much but no interwebs.

[Graven]

Naah, I really doubt they would make him with Pantheon range unless his CDs are ridiculous.

Though if he is and I finally stop faffing about and buy an actual char it'll be fun.

Based on the PC gamer privew, Riot's skill pattern, and the mechanics preview, his skills [Xenith] will look something like this;

Passive: each casting of a spell in a short time costs more and does more damage
Q: a mid range poke (poss skill shot): Long range poke with ult (if skill shot then penetrating)
W: some form of CC: increased range or duration with ult
E: cross between Kog's ult and Urgot's Q (May be swapped with Q): ult = massive range bonus
R: loses movement gains range and penetration

[Ahra]

no, range increase was an ability, artillery was the ulti.
otherwise calling the siege mode an "core ability is pretty strange amirite?

[Jopax]

Maybe he'll be like Karma, have 3 abilities and one from the start that can't be leveled up that switches him between two modes.

[Jiokuy]

The PCgamer preview specifically said his ult was a form changer, and showed 2 different art pics for normal, and "Powered up".

[Ahra]

powered up is his passive as he casts spells, he "unlocks" from his sarcophagi, opening it... so yeah. and form changer, maybe he opens up during the channel and
fire his own "matter" at the enemy.

also read riots OWN notes.

You mean these?

Because I'm not seeing any of the stuff you're talking about. Well, you might be talking about it, and I just can't understand it.
