I too played xerath a lot before the rework and although he was very underplayed for his power, I enjoy his rework a lot. I have had a lot of in your face champions I couldnt stop like Akali or Kat because the burst would finish me off before I could get the stun off. Now it being a skill shot its really nice to have that instant stun if needed to back off. The new passive is great too because its easier to zone said champions and retain mana now.
