Downright Draven? Oh, I'm so looking forward to this week man.

Hello Draven. My deepest condolences for a week full of embarrassment :/ The phage I rushed just thought it'd be safer if you weren't running around catching axes, bro. It's big brother Trinity Force will be here in a short bit, and he's a safety stickler too :/

Sincerely,
-Corki.

Also for this week, I'd like to welcome back my Teemo AD Carry. HAVE FUN DRAVEN ^_^

Hi Draven. You look like a bunch of spaghetti and meatballs. Minus the meatballs if you know what I'm saying. Have fun...infadel.

Best Regards,
~Sivir.

I think Xerath is a strong mage generally, it's just that he depends on a good team, he needs ALL of his skills off CD to be effective, and he simply requires too much effort compared to other mages. He's almost dependent on his ult to kill people in teamfights. His passive also does not work with his kit. If you're a ranged nuker, aren't you resilient from attackers, putting your passive to uselessness? You also need very good positioning with Xerath. If you cannot stun someone or if they are outside of locus of power, you lose power.

He's also not fun compared to other casters. With Ahri you can chain up your abilities by landing your charm then firing an Orb of Deception into their face, with extra mobility off Spirit Rush. With Kennen you can initiate fights with Slicing Maelstrom and have great mobility along with ranged harass. Playing Xerath, the only thing you do is activate locus of power, mage chains + Arcanopulse. That's ALL.

xerath is hardly ever played in high elo just because pro AP players know how to play him doesn't mean that "he is played in high elo". pro AP players should kinda know how to play every AP. it's their job

Thanks to Xiaowiriamu for the sig!

If you for some reason want to follow my ranked journey to gold, you can do it Here.

I am against asking for rep, only rep me if you think I contributed well or said something wise.
