Two things to fix Xerath:

1) Half or eliminate the cast time for lotus of power. You already have to pin yourself down, why further punishment with the delay? Plus the movement boost coming off of it just feels taked on, this way it will feel less so.

2) Ammo system on his ult. Right now you HAVE to use all 3. This causes issues when an enemy can be killed by using it only once. Do you risk wasting part of the ult until it comes off cooldown hoping your allies pick up the kill?

Ultimately, he is fine on paper and 'works' in game. He just has a few usability issues.
