User blog comment:ClariS/Why Xerath's Passive is Bad/@comment-5556439-20130318134228

Ehh, honestly his passive is good. It makes sense because of what he is. No it isnt USEFULL, but it really helps him. The reason he has this passive is so your ADC/Bruiser cant just jump him in a teamfight and burst him down no problem. It makes sense, if he had a "GOOD" passive then he would be overpowered, Xerath has ridiculous teamfight strength and nearly retarded damage.
