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:
    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


other mobafire thoughts on him?

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

+rep me and you'll get good karma, wich means you won't be reincarnated into a rock! Isn't that awesome?

But yes this idea has been discussed more than Pam Anderson's tits in a plastic surgeons office.

Not OP.

Strong long ranged anti squishy type AP carry.

I often refer to him as an Anti carry.

Good positioning = Can be godlike
Bad positioning = 90% Chance you suck

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

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.

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.

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.

Good champion.

Not Op.

Not UP either.

Requires a skill curve to be deadly with, no Ryze or Sion for that manner.
