He seems like a really good champion with his passive armour giving him some nice defense, a long range stun when you get the combo right and also a long range splash nuke. And his Q can clear entire waves later into the game. I build Athenes, Defensive boots, Void Staff, Rabadons mid and no-one seems quite sure what to do with him. He does have a weak pre-lvl3 since you don't get stun for a while, but after that it is reasonably easy to grab a decent amount of kills. End game you can just long range siege or harass all day, and they can't do anything about it without diving you in the midst of your team. The funny thing about end game Xerath is that he becomes a tanky little shit due to his passive. If you have a DFG, you can make life miserable for a lot of AD bruisers that haven't built a lot of MR. | ||

I question what his casting would be like, but mostly because I don't remember any of his casts and I can't imagine he'd be the same level as, say Jatt or Apollo. | ||

I think he'd have no problem becoming a caster. | ||

You get the same amount of AD for 2 points, and IMO spellsword is better than 1.5 AP unless you're not going to be autoing at all when trading. By 50AP(still early game), trading an auto and 2 spells, spellsword already pretty much breaks even. If you auto more than once spellsword far, far outstrips AP masteries for most champs. What's spellsword? | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Jk, thx. Not sure if .1 AP ratio and .05 in the tree is a good idea. It seems like an alternative to Malady's MR shred and not a particularly useful one at that. | ||

End game you can just long range siege or harass all day, and they can't do anything about it without diving you in the midst of your team. Generally speaking anything Xerath can do other champions can do better. Ziggs serves a very similar role, but has better wave clear, a stronger laning phase, roughly equal AoE, an actual escape, and zone control. Xerath may become popular in Season 3 due to the changes to penetration mechanics. Stacking MPen on Xerath will cause him to deal true damage to any enemy with less than 140 MR. Even a Bruiser with MR/Level Glyphs, Merc's, and Spirit Visage will have an effective MR of 6. It's a ridiculous enough abuse case that it might cause him to reach FotM status. But then apparently he's boring as hell to play, so I actually expect it will take a buff to make him popular (at which point he'll get nerfed to the ground for being stupidly strong). | ||
