Quoted:
The cornerstone of this is in his ability Locus of Power. This makes Xerath immobile, but gives his spells massively increased range and defense penetration. This really allows him to set up and barrage an area before becoming mobile again to perform a more standard mage role.


I'm guessing that if you're not in siege mode you can use your spells in a normal way.

Overall, I will be buying him the day he comes out; I love mages and this guy looks like a lot of fun.

Sounds like Brand with longer range

Although he doesn't seem to have Brands slightly broken passive that makes him a lot stronger than he first seens (which is already strong)

Reminds me of a Prism Tank from RA2 or maybe even a Fatboy from SupCom :L

I like long range. :]


edit: Not exciting? I know it'll probably be not as amazing as what I've got running in my head, but an artillery style champion with CC is going to be totally wicked awesome.
Being able to rain death from above is hilariously enjoyable. He'll probably be a top pick in Dominion. Sit in a brush 1 wall away from a capture point, and bomb them to hell and back. :D


Agreed, sounds like someone who can chill near the mid turret and control the lane from afar. At the cost of being unable to avoid retaliation. Damn my over active imagination thinking it was something more complex. I'm excited for him though.

I suspect the siege mode does not affect his auto-attack range; that's probably how they'll keep him from being too zone-powerful like Orianna or Caitlyn.


So, in mobile form, he can last-hit better and re-position. In siege mode, it's all about the damage output.
