eCoolMage I don't know if you're ever a Xerath main, and I hope you don't, please stop acting that he deals so much damage when you get a little bit magic resistance.

A Xerath main would know the most iconic attiudes features of Xerath, high burst damage and poke. He is not only poke mage, he is actually an artillery mage. He should deal high damage. He is designed to deal ridiculous damage. That's why he is squishy.

And how are you going to balance doubled poke power? What are you going to do? Eye of Destruction's high damage is also a counterplay for himself, like passive. He is pushing himself closer to teamfight for extra damage, from 1400 to 1100. If you made W pointless, you would only cast Q, a boring and more oppresive game style.
