@Riot QOL buff for Xerath

Lugg·Feb 23, 2016·3 votes·333 views

Rito, can you guys please give the Jhin ultimate treatment to Xerath? It would be great if it automatically zoomed out like Jhins does. This would be a great thing IMHO, since it would help out newer players on him.

The reasoning why they don't do that is because it has a radius range that makes it a giant circle... That is a lot of map to process even at level 1 ult.

I thought about that as well. They could make it where it's a half sphere the direction Xerath is facing when he starts the ult.

This should help explain it better. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/wu5LK1IO-can-we-make-xeraths-ult-zoom-out-like-jhins?comment=0011

Thanks for the link. I still think that a zoom on the scale of Jhins that you can move like the current Xerath ult would be very helpful. It's already one of the hardest (if not the hardest) skill shots in the game and anything to improve it would be nice.

Then what happens if I'm walking backwards and to get away from them (or flashed), and want to ult back towards them?

The simple fact is that Xerath's ult has far too much range to be able to zoom out like Jhin's

Facing the right direction shouldn't even be an issue. If you can't even face the right way, there's no way you will hit anything with his ult.

As for the range, zooming out all the way would be hard, but if they could do it to the range of Jhin and let you move it, that would be great.

It's currently a circle, meaning I automatically turn towards wherever I'm firing. If I'm only zoomed out in the direction I was looking when I ulted, that's not going to solve anything
