Xerath OP, discuss?

[quote=Queso]So, listening to some streams a lot of pro players are now agreeing that Xerath is OP or at least really strong. How I see it: [list] He is good with jungler ganks thanks to a fairly easy stun to pull off his level 6 burst is insane. It is very high, and very fast with a stun to go with it He can gank bot or top effectively thanks to his range, his stun and AOE damage. He can cast spells away from team fights His W is a free void staff, range increase, a free mini ghost, is also completely free to cast, and is on about a 2-3 second cool down at max level depending on if you have blue buff or not His ult has a very short cool down [/list] other mobafire thoughts on him?[/quote]

[quote=Fox Rage]He's a siege tank. Have you ever played Starcraft or Starcraft 2? [[Xerath]] work exactly like the terran's siege tank. His range is his weakness. Get close to him asap and take him down. [[Xerath]] IS A LOT weaker at close range. But that's just IMO[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]pick cassio. He won't stand a chance.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Not OP. Strong long ranged anti squishy type AP carry. I often refer to him as an Anti carry.[/quote]

[quote=Zoki]Good positioning = Can be godlike Bad positioning = 90% Chance you suck[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Xerath is quite strange, but I believe he's good. I'm guessing he's gonna be another Cassiopeia. OP, but hard to play, so loads of scrubs will fail with him.[/quote]

[quote=alyzar][quote=Searz] Xerath is quite strange, but I believe he's good. I'm guessing he's gonna be another Cassiopeia. OP, but hard to play, so loads of scrubs will fail with him. [/quote] This is how I feel. My initial reaction to him was that he wasn't good, but I've also seen players dominate as Xerath. Kinda the same as Cassio.[/quote]

[quote=Phoenix0000ff]His skill set is solid. His late game is insanity when he gets [[void staff]] + [[locus of power]] spell pen. Nature is not a force that could stop him if you catch my drift. Also how come no top guides on MOBAfire have DFG in his core. I see top rated players DFG him all the time.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Loooool. His kit is really good for anti carrying. Just ganna throw that out there again.[/quote]

[quote=Joobieo#41288]Good champion. Not Op. Not UP either. Requires a skill curve to be deadly with, no Ryze or Sion for that manner.[/quote]
