Xerath and Jhin Ultimates

So I know we aren't suppose to compare champion abilities without considering their kits as a whole, and I also know that immobile mages are getting changed in a few months, but I still feel like I want to see with who agrees with me here.

It makes me sad that Jhin's ultimate is what Xerath's Ultimate should have been; far more damage, much more epic feel, has CC on it, grants vision (usually) and has a better chance of hitting a target, though it can't hit multiple targets. Although, lets be real, no one hits Xerath's ultimate on more than one person at a time either.

I just hope that Xerath's ultimate gets looked at when they do their pass; Riot has now shown us that they can take a long range ultimate and put it in a kit while retaining its amazing feel with Jhin. So lets see it!

I'd be inclined to agree. Jhin's ultimate is also something that would have been awesome for Caitlyn.

HOWEVER. I also think in Xerath's case his ultimate is SO UNDERWHELMING for a being of pure power that he should have it scrapped and get something entirely different that benefits his theme. You have a character that has ascended for the duration of their ultimate to their near god-like state, yet they can only muster three pea-sized projectiles to hit a small area?

Well looks like you never played against fed Xerath. He hits you with his WQ from afar, leaving you with 1/3 HP, and when you back a bit to heal/recall, A GREEN CIRCLE OF DEATH EXPANDS, YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY, CAN'T FLASH OUT, YOUR ALLIES CAN'T COVER YOU, IF YOU ANGERED THE ASCENDED NOWHERE IS SAFE, ITS YOUR DODGE SKILL THAT DECIDES YOUR SURVIVAL. Add a bit of epic sounds and probably make last shot a bit wider, and that's enough.

Anyone can be powerful when fed. Lol.

But not anyone can finish you after you used your TwistedFate 's ult to teleport away as far as possible

As a xerath player his ult is mostly fine, outside of being a little small and needing a more impressive animation

I'm a Xerath player too; but his ultimate compared to Jhin's is just silly. Jhin's looks cooler, has more utility, and has more damage.
