That would be stupid.

From a Xerath main for 2 seasons.

Completely agree, destroys his theme. What do you think about what they did to ult though? I also main Xerath, and although I think it does offer more damage potential, I feel the change is lackluster. I'd rather have 3 more potent shots and make them count myself. Or perhaps, they could keep the 3 shots and increase damage of volleys upon landing successful prior ones?

I've tired it on the PBE, and it's pretty nice. You sacrifice a bit of damage in the rank 2 and 3 shots, but get much more overall due to the increase number. It especially helps with sniping FoW, where the first shot gets vision, but the next two wouldn't be able to finish them off. Now you have that seeking shot, and enough to do the job. Also I read that they increase the projectile size a bit, I'll have the Riot comment on a bit

Yeah, I suppose the increased impact helps the most. Valid point with the vision bonus too, guess I got too amped seeing the mechanics behind a reward for getting good snipes (i.e. = more barrages). It's always a satisfying experience to be rewarded for good plays and this would have been the first real ult that utilizes the concept besides Master Yi and Fiora which take much less skill for the reward.
