They seem to have made his Q a lot thinner. You can't hit all 3 range minions at once if you're shooting them from the front.

And well... eughhh... I dunno, he just doesn't feel good anymore. He used to root himself in place for periods of time and was still more mobile than now. He's so sluggish. I wish that they made him root while charging Q instead of 50% slow, but in return be able to actually use it when he wants to, 1.5 seconds is NOT a good window, It's not even enough time to hit an entire minion wave approaching you.

I find myself actually trying to get as close as possible to the enemy just so I can actually shoot people with it instead of having them run away while I'm charging it. This is NOT what Xerath is supposed to encourage.

And then that ult, hmm.. power aside it doesn't have the oomph required of almost all ults, especially ones used to Snipe. It's doesn't have any "Now it's ON!" which you get from Karthus', Caitlyn, or even Lux's. Doesn't help that the particles and sound feel like you're throwing pies at them. I played him during the PBE release and he was not like that, his partcles were amazing and his ult made huge booms like the artilery it is.. what happened?

I love his new W tho... That thing is pretty awesome.
