User blog comment:ClariS/Why Xerath's Passive is Bad/@comment-5764133-20130319125928

I have been thinking how to use his passive rather than a new one... You can switch with the carry to go bot and he goes mid (cayt or graves can) as you got a great poke and a armor to boost you can go trade with a carry and having a support will help on your sucky early game. You can go top also (not against all the tops but mnay) bot you will have to build some extra mana or mana regen as you will need to poke more to discourage a heavy tradeoff with an offtank witch can result bad for you even with with the extra armor. Well now xerath is in free week so your blog post will get more attention... Sorry "measly" attention....
