Xerath was the most dissapointing champ I got when he joined the League. I was promised an "artillery mage", but what I got was a pretty basic nuke mage outranged by Lux and few others.

The other problem I had with him was his Locus and that it had no range indicators. Many times I just sat on my ass while the enemy moved out of range of my E, and then forced out of the Locus, did not have the m-pen for the team fight ensuing.

I like the changes they did. I love the charge up mechanic and it suits him, I also love the range of the new ult.

I do agree about the VU tho. I feel weird that he needs to "throw" the projectiles like he was a physical being, I especially hate the Q charge animation and the physical artillery balls of his new ult. If they keep those visuals, I'd much rather have the R and W visuals swapped so that he throws this plasma "grenade" and ults with his orbital ion cannon.
