Xerath's ult always felt thematically lackluster even when it was doing a lot of damage. With the updated animation, zooming out mechanic, and added shots, Xerath finally feels like the immensely powerful ascendant he is. He's been my favorite champ since day 1 and now I love him even more.
Thank you for these changes.
LaughingStapler1 votesHe got a buff overall but I still find his Q a bit unresponsive and his whole playstyle too vulnerable to stuff like Fizz, Zed and Ahri. Anyway, the ult. is more damage at level 11 if you land them all but keep in mind that they nerfed the individual shots.
Apostle of Light2 votesYeah but the base damage was only very slightly nerfed. Overall it does a lot more damage. And at lvl 6 it has a higher base damage than before.
I'm okay with Xerath being weak against Fizz/Zed/Ahri etc. because he's meant to be weak in close quarters. He makes up for that weakness with his range.
Alüe1 voteshis ult is way to hard to land at higher elos now, couldn't land anything for shit around d5 elo.
Apostle of Light1 votesI've played him more since I made this post and I agree. The zooming out makes it pretty tough now. Hopefully it's just something that takes some getting used to.
