Yes it is a bit of a shame, but it is excellent practice for leading your skillshots. They know you're going to attack, so they'll move. It's your job to predict where they'll go. :)

Ya same. I probably will look into liandry's. After playing some more games with it ill see if i should add it or not. I also have to agree with you on the range thing. Not only do enemies underestimate his range, they also underestimate his power. If you are laning against someone who has played as xerath or who has played against one recently you have a slight disadvantage because they can somewhat predict what you are going to do.

Nice guide :). Have you thought about looking into Liandry's Torment? You get some Health, some AP, some MPen, and an excellent passive. Seeing as 2 outta 3 of your non-ultimate spells impair their movement it might be nice to look into. Grabbing Rylai's as well makes it so all your spells burn! :D

I main Xerath myself and I find it's pretty useful. I'm a more aggro player tho when it comes to my mid lane because I find most counter-laners underestimate the range and damage output.

Thanks for letting me know :D lol why didn't I notice that?
