Me again. Useless passive? Nami. Boom. That's settled.

Next, the armor makes his magic weaker, not his ability to take damage.

Second, his passive is not useless, for instance, 1vs1 against an adc. Like Caitlyn. Imagine that. Now that's settled, moving on.

You made a point that someone in the back doesn't need to be tanky or whatnot. In a perfect world, I could agree with you on that. But in reality, that is so wrong I can't even... I don't even know how to explain it to you if you don't already get it. I mean, if you don't know what's wrong with that logic, then go and play a glass cannon adc or apc for a month or two, then write a new disertation.

My point to the argument is that there shouldn't be an argument. His passive does make sense, in spite of all your opinions. Don't get me wrong, I have some opinions that conflict with Riot's too, but this is not one of them. Xerath's only problem are summoners choosing him that can't play him well.

Finally, I like that these kinds of things are discussed from time to time. Good job. But think again on this one. His passive is fine as is.
