eh just never surrender vs a xerath, hes like a slightly better leblanc. Dominates the first 20 minutes then falls off realllly hard. Hard engages counter him hard. (ashe, amumu, etc)

he's like a better leblanc mixed with a better anivia on account of you can't push on him because he can clear a creep wave from inside his fountain mixed with a better vlad because you can't assasinate him either thanks to his passive

but yeah, you were close

He doesn't fall off at all, wtf. He's the best mid and lategame siege champ in the entire game. If the enemy team can't force the fight off a tower (sup having baron) they almost automatically lose.

Aside from mobile anti-seige champions like Gragas, not a whole lot of things can deal with Xerath because his damage simply doesn't fall off because of his retarded 30% magic pen on top of which if you screw up an initiation on him or hesitate, one of your team just lost half their HP and you are forced to give up tower.

He really feels like a champion that EU would enjoy more than US, since he's hella good in a double-AP team-comp that don't rely on bruisers and thus have no real incentive to get into the other team's face.

I still think he's a rather boring champ, but I'm starting to think Wukong is actually really fucking good D: Tanky dps with bitching AoE ult that has an amazing escape/stealth. I can't play him worth shit, but holy crap have there been some good ones lately.

How does he fall off late game? He has a more or less infinite range stun. If you're even the slightest bit out of position vs a good Xerath you're going to die.

people dont know how to play xerath yet but once you get a good xerath with a team that can use his abilities well he will be incredibly powerful. he has a completely new role.

It's like, he doesn't even have to have good damage (Which he does), his ability to constantly stun at the longest range of any stun in the game (minus ashe arrow which is a long cd and much easier to miss) more than makes up for any damage he supposedly lacks (Which he doesn't)

Xerath has some of the best scaling around, 3.1/AP on his whole combo. Compare that to 2.3/AP on Brand (with only one hit from his ultimate, perfect bounces makes it 3.3), then consider Xerath's free 30% magic penetration and insane range. Brand's base combo will do 1055 damage, Xerath's will do 1330. And Xerath can reliably hit you with everything at 1000 range, Brand can't.

Here are my thoughts on Xerath.

I believe it is best to take 3 points in strength of spirit, and build a catalyst first (you can start boots, mana gem, or dorans ring). This gives incredible sustain. Your next buy is entirely game dependant, but should be along the lines of RoA (if you skip this get banshee's veil after an ap item or two), Mejai's(only if owning your lane and have multiple kills, or forced the enemy solo'r back so many times you've a huge cs advantage), rabadon's because we go 0/9/21 we need to buy void staff for that extra magic penetration. If you want cdr get something along the lines of Codex after a Rabadon's, or frozen heart vs multiple attackspeed ad compositions

Does archon's spellpen from W stack with other sources? Is the hard cap still 55%?

Like sorcery + voidstaff + W = ignore all the magic res?

I believe it's multiplicative, not additive.

With a team supporting him, Xerath can siege a tower forever, which forces you to engage him, or give up the turret. Assassinating him, as mentioned, is completely out of the question unless you are Akali. With his range, he can actually snipe carries in a team fight without putting himself in too bad a position. With some spellvamp Xerath can completely ignore tanks/tanky ad people that try to kill him.

You really need siege breakers to fend him off properly. Nidalee loves Xeraths on enemy teams. Siege up? Have a spear.
