Talk:Xerath/@comment-95.180.43.210-20120520202401

Compared to almost every other mage (Annie, Anivia, Veigar, Cassio, Leblanc, Kassadin, Viktor, Karthus...) Xerath lacks CC, mobility, defense, sustainability - and even his damage is low compared to heavy hitters like Leblanc, Annie or Veigar.

Xerath's only good side is his higher-than-average range, which is situational at best. Even some other mages (like Viktor or Ziggz) have a similar range while having none of the flaws that Xerath suffers from.

Riot has not bothered to fix Xerath (or add more skins) simply because he is so flawed/underplayed that investing in him would be a complete waste.
