Ahri
You out poke Ahri, if she wants to win she must all-in you. She can 100-0 you at level 6 if she lands her full combo. Try to push her under tower or poke her out.

Introduction

I'm currently Diamond 4, and have hundreds of games on Xerath. I hold a 4.41 KDA and a 70% Winrate on my main account, as well as very high KDAs on smurfs.

Don't be afraid to take your jungler's wraiths or wolves or even the enemy's wraiths if such is currently safe and available.
Early Game:
Your goal is to farm and push the enemy out of lane. It's not likely to solo kill early, but possible.Mid Game:
You start becoming strong. Group up with your team for dragons, make sure you poke before fights. When enemies are low from your poke, hard engage and you can smoothly win.Tell your team to group up and siege. You have amazing wave clear and your poke is starting to sting.
