I knew I forgot someone; thanks for reminding me :)
It's just, I never see a Lux mid; or rarely. Never see a good one x)

Ok well it seems that your missing my other main! Akali... akali mid is dangerous o_O! One of the best since akali at 6 > Squishes die... I see alot of champions missing, so im gonna list them all out (beside akali). Talon, Zilen, Orinna, Soraka, and finally cho gath. I think im missing a few but i know those you should add :3

Akali is also one I forgot; don't see her that often as well. Talon is not exactly a mid champion, mostly a counter. Never laned against him so I won't be able to say much. (played 300+ games with Xerath and never laned against a talon XD). Zilean and Orianna are good suggestions, Soraka and Cho are never played mid as well.

good guide

very nice depth and all. VERY NICE CODING. loved reading hit. good variation of sizes of pictures. your build is decent, but i think more situational items will be needed.

nevertheless, keep up the good work!

Yo grand well it's not like I had to read your guide since I know you suck :*
but I'll still go for it.

1."I don't always meet a Lux in mid but when I do; I destroy her." --> tzz I wanna see that in an actual match:D 1on1 is kind of not countable cuz lux is even more blue dependant than xerath.

2. With his precious blue is is freaking annoying; --> should be he is? right?

3. Q: What do you think about CasterMaster's guide on Xerath?

A: I think it is ****; not only does he get Rylai's Crystal Scepter he also rushes it! He wastes a lot of Xerath's amazing damage potential. Also he maxes Locus of Power second, and I think it is way too situational.

--> Nick you are THE MAN


So overall I think the guide is amazing and I love the opponent section especially cuz you wrote down special runes, summoners and difficulty for every champ. But in my opinion 1 or 2 really important sections are missing!
"Positioning" - I mean that's like the most important thing about Xerath right? - maybe make some screenshots and give advice there.
"Teamfights" - I saw your Xerath and I know what you do - you try to take out 1 person that's off position. Well at least most of the time. Try to describe that **** :)

95% the way i am used to play xerath! very nice!

i always get Rylais instead of Lichbane, but otherwise i do it like you.

And imo Xerath is quite nice against Kassa, since oyu will force him out pre6 very hard. If he silences you with Null Sphere you can simply dash towards him and hit him with common attacks and when you are de-silenced you apply Mage Chains and hit him with your Arcanopulse and apply some more autoattacks. after 6 you can basically do the same but he can close up to you which makes him dangerous then, but i always feel that it is very balanced then.
