I get why he gets armor per ap, as his power grows his shell needs to become stronger to contain the arcane and maintain its shape, but the cdr could help Xerath's mid game be a little stronger.

@190.19 Xerath does rely on CDR because he's a poke champion that only has one consistant damage spell. More CDR = less downtime to cast Q, being able to cast it every 2 seconds is almost necessary. Just because his CD's aren't absuredly long doesn't mean CDR isn't an important stat on him.

@66.189 His passive has gotten better with the surge of AD assassin's being played but it's not providing a dynamic to his kit like most passive do. The stats received (armor) don't aid how Xerath is played so it's not a great fit for the kit. They could maintain the armor recieved, for lore's sake, but an addition to aid his playstyle would be nice.
