Xerath is a hard champ to play and is not recommended for new players. His skill difficulty comes from using his loooooooooooonnnnnnggg range to control the lane, jungle, and keepinging constant damage while taking zero. This doesnt mean you need quick reflexes to burst snipe someone, Xerath's Q animation is too long for that. The best way to play him is too have controled reflexes. Sometimes you need to play passively and then burst with ur ultimate and even an auto attack to kill someone. Sometimes you need to push, make them recall and then one shot them with a single Q. HE IS NOT OP! He is a difficult high skill champ and if you dont know how to use his range to the best of his advantage you will fail miserably. Xerath is not meant to do absurd amounts of damage. Late game, his damage is almost non negatable due to 80% magic penetration, but it isnt 3000000000000 like victor, nunu, veigar, annie, fiddles, and other high damage ap carries. He is meant to take no damage while destroying everything.
