With a full 1 second channel time. It's barely a damage increase since you won't be autoing and I can't think of a single team fight where you'd actually get to use it. So more often what happens is you use it before a fight even starts and then whoever got hit by it (usually a high health high armor bruiser) is going to be healed up before the fight begins. Or you use it at the end of the fight after the fight is already won or lost by your team.
I literally cannot think of a worse ult in this game.

It can get you an ace, all kinds of stuff, if used on a team with no innate healing someones going to be missing a pretty decent portion of their health.
I don't think it's as good lategame as it is early/mid but saying it's bad is just dumb imo

It's got no utility and doesn't even do its own job of hitting a particular target hard well. Also what team has no healing, shields, lifesteal, spellvamp, or literally a tank somewhere in the vicinity with a little health and armor? There's just so many things that counter it that a team is practically guaranteed to have something available.
If it were unblockable it'd be an okay skill because it'd actually be a good finisher on low health characters and it could be like a baby karthus ult that you can use before a fight to chunk an ad carry.

Right now, with caitlyn ulti being on a 1s channel time, against a team that wants to stay split to avoid some AoE from your team, you can straight up ulti the AP carry right off the bat to initiate. At level 11 onwards, you do almost half of someone's health and with the shorter channel, it's much more difficult for the other team to avoid.
The reason why sivir's ultimate isn't as strong of a self buff as most others (draven comes to mind) is that it buffs your entire team in a large radius. If you have a jungler like nocturne/Udyr/mundo and a bruiser like irelia, sivir's ultimate makes them all absurdly strong.
Irelia's ultimate actually does a decent amount of damage. The reason people use it to clear minion waves is that it's a simple way to empty a lane so that you can go back and the ulti is back up 20s after you reach lane again.
Also, I played a bunch of orianna. The last patch is definitely a buff. It's 10x easier to hit a combo and I haven't failed at killing someone at level 6 yet. Q+W at level 4/5 2 times and chunk them down to 2/3rd health and then once you hit 6, Q>R+ignite, auto+auto >W>Q > auto attacks and they've died every time. Long story short, get used to putting points into W. It's worth it.

wut. xerath ult is pretty good... Have you played him lately?
As for Cait ult,. I just remembered that they improved it...want to see if the range and channeling buff is noticeable. If so it makes her even stronger early-midgame and lategame yeah, the ult isn't great but if you initiate at the right time you can treat it like an Ashe arrow and just focus the bruiser you just chunked.

Eve's ult is pretty shitty

Her ult is a crazy good steroid. I suppose it's effectively shitty just because it's attached to the rest of her kit.

In a large portion of games, hitting an AD carry, AP carry or support will do enough damage to force them to play cautiously or back out from a fight before it begins. With a shorter channel time, it's very possible to channel it from a funny angle and hit one of them.

On the downside, lots of supports have shields and heals, most ADs are around their supports who have shields or heals, and if you're an ad carry shooting an ap carry it's usually in the position jockeying as a team so someone less squishy is there to take the hit. It's just so situational for little payoff.
Also, to whoever said 1300 damage: Only if you have 300 bonus ad, which is pretty unlikely. It's usually somewhere between 1100-1200 typical 6 items depending on how stacked your BT is.

It's just like a Karthus ult. You use it before the fighting starts, after its died down and you're off to a side, or at the end of a fight.

Maybe if you could block karthus ult with a tank.

I just realized something about Xerath...
W + Void Staff = 80% magic penetration. Holyshit that's pretty much true damage.
I guess building Abyssal would be pretty good on him too, so that's even more mpen.
Time to play Xerath again.

Don't forget 10% from masteries.

TRUE DAMAGE!
Xerath is my main, loving the buffs-Eing people was always a but awkward before, but now is just so fluid.

Time to play Xerath again. Except you don't get near that much since % is uhh multiplicative? or something I think it was instead of Additive like sorc shoes and haunting guise.

They could buff Caits ult easily by making it do a bit of blow through damage even if it was blocked, like 20-40% or whatever
Heimer ult hands down the worst all around ult.

welp, there's my 10th loss in a row. So angry right now.
