Xerath ult: option to disable zoom out

I've played quite a bit of Xerath in my time, and had gotten quite good at aiming his ult and predicting champion movements. He was my go to mid champ when I wanted a safe poke heavy champion.

Ever since they felt the need to give him a zoom out on his ult, I find it damn near impossible to be consistent with it. The champions and target area become so small since his ult has such huge range. I never had a problem with his ult before this change and it only made it harder to make work.

I know they changed it b/c Jhin has a zoom out and people whined that it was so cool, and it benefits locked camera players. I'm not gonna bash camera lockers; if they want to play at a disadvantage, that's their prerogative. But for the rest of us, there was no need to actually do this.

Jhin ult you need to know the path to the target since it can be blocked. Xerath ult cannot be blocked and the path to the target is irrelevant. Precise aiming is the most important thing.

I think an option to disable the zoom out for champions that have a zoom out is needed if some players find more success without it.

Seriously tho the only time i have been able to land an ult with the new xerath is if someone is not good at the game or forgets that i have more than three shots. It is nearly impossible to be accurate when the target is so tiny. Please make the zoom optional.

It feels like the camera angle is effecting your aim when you're firing towards the edges of your screen, almost like it's got a slight fish-eye effect to it. I end up having to fire at targets in three center part of the screen to compensate, which makes the zooming out only useful for finding new targets faster.
