The desk mat from the giveaway finally came, based design, I'm loving it!
@GreGorMIFАй бұрын
Nocturne in the center lane makes sense because of the early armor piercing item that allows him to reduce the health of mages at the expense of the first skill. As a browser, it is a decent top laner capable of breaking towers with high mobility, which makes absolutely no sense in the mid lane. Don't do what this Nocturne did.

Hiii 😊 I don't really play Xerath so I wanted to ask why you though all the ults charges one right after another? I mean if someone it's coming for you I think it's the right think but if you're shoting from afar you could play it slow so the enemy gets nervous and impatient??? Just asking to know
@GreyPunkWolfАй бұрын
You have to apply pressure with your ults as xerath, the projectiles are easy to dodge if you're sniping from far away because the projectiles travel more, which means more time to react. So if your team isn't pressuring the target into making predictable movements and the target is decent at dodging, using the ults in rapid fire mode makes the target dance for their life in a pattern you can most likely anticipate. I don't really know if I'm making this clear but basically xeraths ult is too easy to dodge if you're decent and you're not gaining value from waiting to fire them, but you do gain pressure when you rapid fire them, which opens up windows of predictable movements that you can abuse.

Great video and commentary! I'm a Xerath OTP however I feel like lately he's not doing enough damage (especially against magic resist), and I'm insta countered if I'm caught by a mobile assassin if I step slightly out of turret or get pushed in at early levels. Do you guys think he's a viable choice to climb or should I try and learn a new champ?

What's your rank? Most viable choice below diamond is whatever you perform consistently and calmly on, because that's when you're most likely to CS well and check the minimap often.

@@MakashiOwns Currently stuck Bronze II, so I guess I should stick with Xerath even if I'm countered? Because I don't have near as much mastery in other champs (the closest ones being Lux and Veigar). P.S: thank you for your reply and input, really appreciate it!

@darkdemon9013Ай бұрын
He gets hard pounded in the ass by any MR. There's a lot o magic pen in the game but for some reason it doesnt ever feel like it's enough. If you aren't ahead on Xerath then he just feels terrible to try and play, partially because he's 100% skillshot champ in a game where every new champ is being given a dash (if not 50), but also because just one bit of MR completely takes him out of the game. The first couple of levels in this vid show why he's just not very good, look at how many skillshots and autos he lands on the nocturne before nocturne does anything back, and look at how he still almost dies from the first skirmish they have.

Tear isn't really useful on xerath and most poke mages because 1.most of them only build one mana item and the other mana item is just more impactful. 2. Xerath already have a way to restore his mana and the shield is absolutely useless on xerath because if you position right the shield would never pop and if it does 80% of the time you gonna die anyways so why don't just get a zhonyas which function relatively the same as seraph but better.
