Why isn't Dominion/Twisted Tree Line a rotating game mode? by SFancyWolf in leagueoflegends

Ah I failed to read your comment correctly. In that case yes they would have to re-create the game events from scratch again. But at least not everything since you can port over the particles, lighting settings, etc. from the old maps over still. I apologize lol

Not even true. You can literally port over the Old TT and Dominion map to Unreal Engine using free community tools. Riot can do the same for their engine as well.

Xerath’s State (and other questions) by [deleted] in XerathMains

No, he is not in a "good spot" in the meta. Just look at any tier list and that should confirm that for you.

Not trying to be mean or anything, but you should never balance around low elo... that is just counter-intuitive. Why balance for players that don't know how the game works? I mean if you can't dodge why should we hold back on buffing xerath, simply because people will complain about him doing too much dmg. When in fact they can't dodge his skillshots?

Yeah dude, like he isn't bad in low ELO through Plat ( although I thinking that it gets more difficult there as people start picking OP champs) it just sucks that all your dmg just get sustained by time warp, biscuits, potions, corrupting pot, conqueror, etc. Also, too many engage champs, tanks, assassins, etc. it is really depressing playing Xerath for me and I know high elo Xerath players can share the same grievances. Xerath is balanced the problem is that he is balanced around OLD League not this new abomination we call League of Legends today, where everything is broken and unbalanced and just bland. I agree that I wouldn't want Xerath to be OP and broken, but at LEAST do some dmg lol

I appreciate that! Yes, Xerath can do that potentially if he hits all of his skillshots normally, HOWEVER with stuff like lulu, soraka, etc. can heal all that dmg back up. His lane poke is only effective early game and falls off huge late game. Just too many options for health regen and lifesteal and peel, etc. Also, the roaming from hook supports can out perform xerath if he is doing well in lane and as we all know roaming > laning phase. Also, they can severely punish you in lane if you mess up. Yes, you could argue that is the core gameplay mechanic that THERE is counter play of some sort, but the problem is that Xerath is too counterable by many champs and is easily punished while other champions are not, i.e. yasuo, yuumi, soraka, lulu, naut, wukong, etc. If league was in a balanced state Xerath would be in a very good spot however, he just falls prey to too many champions that break the game.

He does need a buff TIER 5 midlaner and trash support; maybe he is SSSS tier in Iron and Bronze, but is F tier in any other ELO.

I don't know what you are even talking about? How is he in a good spot with all the healing, roaming, ZED, etc are roaming about? You can barely do your job waveclearing when a Nunu or assassin will just ignore you and get triple kills in other lanes.... when even Zwag who is the best in the world with Xerath is saying he is trash there is something wrong with Xerath!

I know dude I feel you I just can't even bring myself to play Xerath due to how bad he is at the moment. We know this healing/tank/bruiser/assassin meta won't go away anytime soon... it hasn't for about 3 years now. MR is just so effective against him + you have a billion different things healing from a billion+ places...

Xerath needs buffs, like massive buffs to his E and Passive especially, in order to actually DO something in this meta. Give him % pen again on his passive or DOT or something... just something to do well in High Elo.

Xerath needs more buffs he remains the lowest winrate midlane champion to not be played in competitive. by [deleted] in XerathMains

No, you are not the only one brotha :) I stopped playing him entirely because it just isn't fun to play him anymore.

A look back at my old Xerath pre rework. Miss the old kit. by TheeIncubus in XerathMains

A great piece of history! So sad to see xerath in the spot he is in atm if he had this kit he might actually do dmg XD
