Xerath's range in ARAM is horrifying.

I just finished a match in ARAM against a Xerath who was hitting us over and over from the bush while we were under turrets. No he wasn't on the edge closest, he was hiding more towards his own than ours. The entire game he would hide behind his team because he could ace us as long as we couldn't get near him. Even though we won, it feels like a hollow victory because he had over 30 kills and just under 10 deaths. Another example of his range, he could sit on the right side of his nexus turret and snipe people hitting his nexus without any issues.

You can pretty much insert any long range poke champion in place of Xerath here and they're just as OP in ARAM games.

Lux

Morgana

Nidalee

Soraka

The list goes on and on.

Yeah, Xerath is pretty much insta wins in ARAM. It's fine though, it's random for a reason, sometimes you end up with a garbage team sometimes you end up with an OP one, it's part of the game,

I understand it's supposed to be random, but to be able to snipe from so far with a rare chance of being hit? That's just a little too irritating on a map with only 1 lane.

I voted no... because I don't hate Xerath in ARAM, I hate ALL poke champs in ARAM... particularly when the entire enemy team is composed of them, WHICH happens far too often mind you.

Xerath doesn't even make the front page for annoying ARAM champions. Honestly he doesn't bug me too much. Sona is absolutely infuriating to play against and her winrate proves it. She makes all trades unfavorable, because even if you get a kill you end up fighting a 4v4 at half health vs a full health team shortly after. Her shield saves people from ignites, her ult covers half the lane, and she does a LOT of damage when she builds full ap. Not to mention damage and movespeed buffs for her entire team. Sona should be disabled in ARAM.

What is horrifying is a Pantheon getting a triple when he ults into a 1v5, and then goes on to get 42/13.
