im fine with his spellshield being removed or even make him take more damage instead to give him more counterplay and also reduce its complexity. Futhermore his stacks could also be generated by only channeling and not standing still making all his abilities able to channel( Base ranges would be reduced then! so he doesnt become a turret).stacks then would be consumed by a spell so he has to channel again, alittle slow after a fully chenneld spell should persist to make it easier to catch xerath as assains etc.. but i disagree with the mana regen.yes garen can do something but xerath isnt supposed to stand afk for 30sec to regen to full mana. he is forced by his enemies to do something(waveclear/deff). its usefull when xerath is pushing in and rests until the next wave approaches.

My idea is defenitly not inspired by old xeraths w and im not sure if u recognized me telling that his base ranges should be reduced so he doesnt have incredible long range basic abilities plus i didnt tell his current is not interactive i just find it quite boringing way to add counterplay to xerath(u could just reduce mana cost and give him somehing else like they did to veigar). my idea tries to give him counterplay by making him an even more immoblie artillery mage who struggles against mobile champs(assasins) or those who get right onto him.
