 * Xerath will be in range of a carry due to not having a blink or an escape mechanic. His passive only takes so much of the egde of, and by "so much" I mean "barely any at all.


 * Kassadin's, Fizz's, and Ziggs' passives are pretty good, yeah. But people are expecting Vladmir and Akali kinds of passives, which give them a gimmick to revolve around on. These passives are little things that make the character more formiddible when fighting due to how they mitigate/amplify damage while giving players of said character something more dangerous to play with (something Xerath's passive doesn't do).


 * Viktor's passive is overrated because it's essentially an item slot. Keeping in mind that he doesn't have a levelable/scalable passive like other casters, leading to his 'passive' just being a second APScepterthing that he'll eventually build. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for that his kit (numberwise) are balanced around such so that you nary see the increase (such as Twitch's MS steriod being the reason why he has one of the lowest base speeds in the game).
