User blog comment:ClariS/Why Xerath's Passive is Bad/@comment-6048945-20130317091030/@comment-4881935-20130317170111

Did you not get the point of my blog? This passive can be freaking overpowered and I would whine about this passive. It doesn't make a different if there are a few champions that it works against. The same issue would be here if for example had a passive that grants free armor.

More range=more safety

More Range=harder for enemy to reach you

More Range=less need of defense

Does it make sense to have a champion with high range to be more naturally tankier to someone who needs to get upclose.
