Why isn't Xerath's ult like Jhin's?

Y'know,only one warning? They are practically the same Except Xerath has two warnings:Radius and incoming skillshot. Jhins is far better though,due to minion piercing line skillshot , its a skillshot,and,well 4 shots.

I wouldn't necessarily say one is better than the other. Here are a few reasons why:

Xerath R - Pros:

  • Can use ultimate in a radius, not a cone; providing a wider range.
  • Cannot be blocked by tankier enemies.
  • Flat damage; does not scale with % Missing HP
  • AoE Damage Cons:
  • 3 shots
  • Flat damage; cannot execute as well as Jhin's ult
  • "Harder" to hit than Jhin's shots
  • Ring to indicate landing spot

Jhin R - Pros:

  • 4 shots
  • Scale with % Missing HP for executes
  • Provides vision on-hit
  • No indicator of bullet path (not AoE cone) Cons:
  • Scales with % Missing HP; weak against full-HP targets without multiple hits
  • Smaller width than Xerath ult
  • Slower fire-rate than Xerath ult
  • Can be blocked by tankier targets

I didn't play Jhin yet, but for sniper I think he should see only through his scope range when R, and be visible through fog of war only after he fire his first shot cause that usually show where the sniper is.

My biggest thing for Xerath is wishing they'd refund some of the CD on his ultimate for unused shots.

you mean anything after the first shot since thats the only one that actually can land?

Yeah... I find it funny that I seem to have more instances where my Ultimate is used to make the enemy feel safe (dodged all three shots), only to finish them with a Q than times when I finish someone with a shot of the Ult.

This. It feels terribad to kill the enemy laner with the first or second shot, then just fire off the last one(s) into a nearby jungle camp or something. Would be so much nicer to get a little bit of the cd back instead.
