User blog comment:ClariS/Why Xerath's Passive is Bad/@comment-5980721-20130319163241

It's helpfull when you have yourself rooted and the Lee Sin dashes to you or Blitzcrank pulls you in, but he could have something better, also It does change my build choice because with it, I get more magic resist and health to be able to handle some damage.

I still however think that all your reasoning is correct, and Riot should look into a change.

AND STOP MAKING AutoAttack PASSIVES!! (Even though they are good)
