User blog comment:ClariS/Why Xerath's Passive is Bad/@comment-141.136.246.61-20130317145707

Please stop this rant. Just... stop. This is a rant. It's pointless. You may have a point and everything but it's still without a meaning. He has that passive. Deal with it. In case someone overlooked Riot's logic with champion design, they tend to emphasize champion characteristics and lore through their abilities. In that way, Xerath has a perfect passive (for some reason you think that he doesn't... he does, he is a being of magic in stone armor... duh) that makes a lot of sense. Not every champion needs to have a "perfect kit". Besides, that would be boring. That would make strategic decisions and compromising virtually obsolete. His passive is fine, and, even though it's not the most useful of passives, it's his and that's that. There are many more champions that have the same situation, some even more than Xerath. But every ability has its uses and can be utilized to some extent.

Also, the passive you suggested is so strong it's ridiculous. No.
