I'm really excited about Xerath's new rework and I was wondering, do you guys think he might get a little update on his skins? I mean since they are already changing the particles of his abilities maybe he can get a bit of recoloring on runeborn and battlecast since the lightning are still blue on those. It wouldn't be too much to ask right?

As far as I know, the only one they're likely to change, until he gets a full visual rework that is, would be Battlecast Xerath since that one is technically part of the Battlecast line, but it doesn't look like it.

Ok, thanks. That's the one I want reworked anyway. At least the particles.

The coder they had working on Xerath wasn't used to their machines and projects, so the lighting effects were not even as close as what they could be.

That was a red post by someone, so they're working on making the lighting effects look more
cool at least. - Haven't heard of any skin reworks.

theyre trying to make him look more arcane and less lightning-y so that they can have a future lightning mage, and because xerath is supposed to be using raw magical energy not lightning

i remember reading that somewhere but i dont have a source

idk about the upcoming lightning mage (so many zzzz) but they said the guy who did xeraths particles really only knew how to do lightning. xeraths particles are going to be more 'pure magic' and arcane than that.

It was Xelnath talking IIRC, and he mentioned moving away from the lightning theme towards more of "raw arcane power", hinting at more pure plasma/energy -type approach.
