Xerath Ultimate update?

jilllovesme··0 votes·574 views

Does anybody else feel like Xerath's ultimate should be able to zoom out like Jhin's ultimate due to the fact that you have to unlock your camera to get a better skillshot? It doesn't make sense that only Jhin would be able to view out of range with his ult but Xerath can't unless you unlock your camera.Xerath

Um no, even tho its not a bad idea Jhin has his purpose

The reason his ult allow him to zoom out is because he can see what in front of him while ulting, if you have to unlock cam like xerath how would you know if someone going to block your ult if you're trying to get your target.

Xerath ult doesn't get block, unless you're braum

What I'm trying to get at is the opposite of what you're getting at. Changing Xerath's view during ult to being like Jhin's, not the other way around.

That's what he said. It won't work for numerous reasons that have all been covered before if you did a simple lookup either on google or here on the boards

First: use the reply button.

Xerath's ult is a circle -- 360 degrees of firing. You would have to zoom out to such an extent that it would be impossible to actually hit anything with his ult, not to mention it sending your frame rate to hell. The reason Jhin has a zoom out is because a) it has a set firing cone, and b) it can be blocked, so he needs to see what's blocking it. Xerath's ult doesn't get blocked by anything.

The vision method of his ult has nothing to do with people not playing Xerath (and btw, his win and play rate are perfectly average), it's that since all his skills are skillshots, you have to put in time into mastering him, as well as until you get good with him, you are very weak to assassins and dive fighters, which are popular in the meta right now

Being able to zoom out isn't the issue. The entire ult needs a buff / complete overhaul.
