User blog comment:ClariS/Why Xerath's Passive is Bad/@comment-210.186.169.44-20130318024148/@comment-184.163.239.34-20130318073420

except thats not how you play xerath. you play him like you would play lux. 100-0 KO.

I think one of LCF NA quilifers played him. i believe it was regenald (idk how you spell his name).

the game ended to quick to see his full build, but he went and maxed w first, went socerer boots, haunting guise than death cap. you tend to want to have that 40% crd, a lot of ap, and spell pen so ur spells do full damage(true damage practically). nothing tanky about him, thats why his passive is useless unless ur fighting AD assassins like talon.
