Is it me or is Xerath's Q..

... a little bit too hard to dodge? I was in a match playing vs and I went boots + pots as starting items and he could reliably hit his Q. Even when I was walking away when he charged and randomly started moving I feel like the blast delay is just a little too short to sidestep (it still connects). Add in the fact that he can cancel his poke at will and refund mana makes him very hard to lane against as melee.

So naturally I was thinking that it was my own skill and I just failed to properly juke it but I still had problems even after buying T2 boots. So he could still blast those long range Q's without slowing me and often I could not sidestep move in time. It definitely wasn't lag because I have 10-15 ping. I feel like since the rework his Q became harder (if not nearly impossible) to dodge without significant movement speed items.

Anyone else notices this or is it just me sucking hard?
