Should i get brand or xeratj

I say go for brad personally, strong pick. learn how to use the skills in different orders because of the passive.

If you enjoy more skill shot champs, get xerath. He is all skillshots and sieges amazingly

Brand is much better in team fights, his damage output is insane when minions arent around, especially if your team has cc, he also snowballs harder. Xerath is a much more passive pokey champion.

They arent very comparable in terms of playstyle but I personally enjoy brand more. Xerath can be super strong vs squishy teams because you can just q ult and force them back and then you get free towers, hes also safer in lane because he has more range and his stun is more reliable.

Ever since they neutered Xerath, I cannot play him. His kit is so awkward and his ult almost always get dodged

xerath has a higher skill cap imo. 2 of brand's spells are point and click, although his abilities do flow nicely together, so do xerath's.

for this same reason, i find xerath much more fun, but i am pretty good at landing his skill shots. if you miss them a lot, i think you'd find him unfun :X

also depends on what your team needs. Brand is more burst. Xerath has more CC and much much more poke. I think they're both viable, just depends on how you use them and what your team comp is. For example brand would be way better on a hard engage all-in team, whereas xerath will shine more in a poke/siege comp.

xerath is harder to play more skillshot reliant and needs proper posotioing brand just needs to get his combo off on as many people as possible then who cares if he dies

brand is easier to carry with and overall easier to play.
