Xeraths new kit is a lot slower compared to his old kit and all the ratios got nerfed, hes still slow and now that his q animation is slower its hatder to hit and they took away his ult and his point and click e that you still had to hit with an ability to get the stun, he was like a veigar only a little less op, my point is he was supposedly too strong and now they put out Ekko, who is way overpowered and is a mage burst with preaty much some of the highest damage and with a safe shield, multiple slows and damage buffs along with gap closer and a better version of a zillian ult thats insant with massive damage. In the end i see nerfs comming for Ekko and may be riot will get xerath a little more love and fix put his old kit back or buff him a little, i just want to know if there are people who think like me.

Xerath was pretty OP with his old kit. He could 100-0 someone despite being a long range snipe champion. He also had a ton of free damage because of his % magic pen(or reduction, forgot which) making MR even less useful on him. Sure you can say "oh he'd be great now", but the thing is he was changed for DIFFERENT reasons then when Ekko was introduced into the game. I say Ekko was introduced because Assassins have been repeated nerfed because of how strong and dominant they were. Tanks are the new thing now, so making a new tank is pointless because of how strong they are. They added in a new Assassin because it was what the game has been lacking recently.
