Mmmm, AP Kogmaw seems like the better choice for an artillery. Lemme do some calculations


 * 500 AP = 400(+166) [KogMaw] 566
 * 500 AP = 275(+332) [Xerath] = 607

Theres not a humungous gap in damage, but Kogs gets a better lift off since his base is higher and then teeters off. Im currently in favor of running Kog against Xerath mid laners(which, for this week there will obviously be no short supply of) to test our mettle for artillery supremacy, and await being crushed by one into a pulp before I make my purchase.

Xerath is more of a late gamer I suppose with that %pen, but only has 3 charges on his ult so you'd better not miss. Kog is more of suppressive fire in that if anyone ever stops moving, they get hit no matter when since it has almost no cooldown. I wouldn't gripe about Xerath so much if they just made his ult use charges like Akali instead of this whole Irelia thing.
