The change made it so it takes longer for the particle to travel. So the delay between when you click to fire to when it lands is increased.

From what I've heard it used to take around 0.3 seconds, now it apparently takes more than 1 second.

I have played him in a practice game, and even though I didn't measure any delays or anything, I can say his ult is almost impossible to land now. I mean I missed an Ashe bot that just ran around aimlessly like bots do. Heck, I even missed a minion wave because they moved... A nerf is one thing, but making the delay 3-4x longer that's just breaking it. Especially if you compare it with Kog or something Xerath is now officially a joke. Kog doesn't have to lock down, his ult has a bigger range, less delay and a WAY shorter CD.

I'm sorry about venting, but it's just sad to see this happen to a champ that's already underplayed as it is. Also the new buffs to his E and W don't even begin to make up for it. The stun is just too short and it can only be proced with Q. Even if that works you still don't have enough time to land all 3 R's after that.
