Reminder that Xerath still need some work on his ultimate. It's still disappointing visually. Make it more like -lightning impact- something close to the center of his W but faster. I'd like to have the feel that I blast my target when I hit it. A piercing blast.
i agree that the visual effects are very underwhelming. the rest of his kit is a cacophony of zaps and blasts, and his ult feels like <plink><plink><plink>
They said that they changed his splash art to match his new ultimate
His splash shows him raining down apocalyptic hell on the universe
His ultimate in game is the equivalent of sonar blips
It's a sad day when a champion's Q feels more satisfying than their R, but I feel like that's where Xerath is currently.
If I ever learn how to make custom skins, the first thing I'm going to make is a Xerath skin where the only thing different is his ultimate. I would have the ground indicator being some electrical activity followed by an arc of lightning along the path the projectile would have taken and a thunderclap. I know they moved away from lightning w/ his rework but that was just because all his things were lightning before, which didn't exactly say "arcane power." This I feel would still be thematic, it's like he's using the arcane power to charge up a bolt of lightning.
My idea:
Make a pillar of Arcane energy go to the sky from Xerath, make orbs laser beams.
Also remove Max Range fat line indicator, either make it really really think or get rid of it.
I have to learn how to:
They have to:
It needs something more interasting than just "Blast them blast them blast them" Something to make it unique like "Targets hit by Arcane barrage take 20% more damage from the next hit of Arcane Barrage, stacking up to two times." Maybe reduce the base damage a bit, but makes it much more rewarding more landing multiple hits.
