Xerath's passive is gloriously underwhelming. You get a free chain mail from a full AP build. Not that bad but not really awesome, Riot has become careful with free gold passives.

He's a specialist kind of hero. Actually, imagine a kite/poke team consisting of Xerath, Lux, Koggy, Alistar and Janna. Dear god.

I like it that way. You're not supposed to get like 150 armor with 600 AP, that would be way too OP. You could just get Abyssal Scepter & Mercury Treads, then the rest 4 items are all AP, and he is hard as shit to kill. 90 armor from 600 AP isn't too overpowered, but does make AD carries job quite much harder.

Need play this more often with you guys. Ha that was awesome.

From what I can see, if Xerath doesn't rush rabadons then he has lots of trouble killing people.

Anyone else having issues with the client after the latest patch? I tried joining a game but the player loading screen didn't show up after, had to kill the process cause nothing would happen. Tried to reconnect, same thing.

Also, C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER

Not overly worried about Xerath, most people play him pretty bad, too... he just screams "Use me to shot through walls and into other lanes out of the fog of war, sit in a bush and brust em down, poke for the poke gods, make teams cry with my ult... nope, always derpys sitting in the middle of a lane shoting there pew pew-

I played against my first Xerath, as Malzahar (Using mah brand new overlord skin)

He was garbage.  Maybe it was just the player, maybe it was the champ, whatever it was he couldn't do shit.

Like I said.

Based on the specs alone, he is incredible. Give it time. Like Jarman, Orianna, or Rumble. People will come around. Remember when Jarman came out, everyone played him like shit even though just looking at his base stats he was really, really absurd. A few weeks later, endless nerfs to Jarman.

Again, just to emphasize, this guy exceeds Annie burst potential at level 6. Except with much, MUCH greater range. This is not exaggeration. This is the truth. The only difference is that it's much harder to pull off, especially for the average idiotic, incompetent, and unimaginative LoL player. Why do you think carries are so popular to play? All people need to do is right click and blame the tank / support when they die. Asking those people to play a champion that has a delay on every single skill? I'd sooner expect dogs to learn how to castrate themselves.

Delay on skills?!?

XERATH UP. NEEDS BOOFFS. Y I NO CAN 1V5 WITH HIM!?!? I BILD ALL AP BUT I ALWAyS DIE!!!!!! OMG RIoT SO STUPID. NO CAN BALANCE. ALSO DELAY SO STUPID BECUZ I NO CAN THINK I DEMAND REFUND

Carries are popular because people love to kill things. They dislike the team aspect of the game, which is why you get those people that degrade their team in all-chat so that you know they aren't the one that is losing, despite them clearly having plenty of time to degrade their teammates in all-chat and not enough to tell them what they can do to help.

Supports/tanks realize they need to make sure the enemy can't kill their team, but that requires your team not being pants-on-their-head stupid. Which is unlikely if you're doing random. And if you can carry better than the other team, then you win, so people just assume the way to win is to be a better carry, instead of learning how to work as a teammate. So, if they lose, they don't blame themselves for failing to help out their team. They blame the team.

Sometimes the post button bugs out.

thanks.

From what I can see, if <insert caster here> doesn't rush Rabadons, he has lots of trouble killing people.

You either rush Rabadons or get it after your RoA. Archangel's never factors in.

[V-Norrec]

It does on Cass, I always get the tear first, so I can SPAM ALL THE SPELLS!  Then I usually grab boots, RoA, then the derpcap.

I probably could make due with a Catalyst but I don't usually have problems with survivability early on, just sustainability.  I love to spam, what can I say?  I wish they had more interesting items for casters, having only two real builds makes me kinda sad.

[Pandarsenic]

I like how Riot makes Kassadin free the same week they release a semi-immobile mage.

gg

They do this a lot. Vayne was released in a Malz free week, remember?
