Am I the only one who feels like his e isn't that long range even with Locus of Power activated? I almost never go into Locus of Power when laning anymore because it just feels like I'm asking to be hit (i.e. even at a thousand range I don't feel like I can reliably e, q combo someone without getting hit myself). That's quite odd because I'm sure there are many mages who have few or no abilities at 800 or more range, so there should be a zone of about 200 range where (when opponents are coming towards or moving away from me) I can w, e, q as fast as possible and get in some nice freee damage, but it never feels like that's the case. Anyone else have this experience? Maybe I've had the misfortune of fighting too many Ahris and Ziggs, or maybe it just doesn't take long enough to get out of that 200 range zone for it to reliably work to Xerath's advantage, either way, this has always felt like his biggest shortcoming to me. I know it would be OP if he could freely w, e, q people from long range with any great ease, but it's always felt contrary to his long-range, artilllery mage concepting.
