Also I can't remember who it was (maybe it was scarra) but I saw an Ult in Ten where the guest commented on how he has no idea Xerath hasn't completely dominated the metagame. It seems like nobody has put in the time to learn him but he's so ridiculous in the right hands. I've seen fights start at baron where Xerath stays over the wall and blows up entire teams. It's amazing. He does tons of damage.
I've been wondering by Xerath hasn't been abused since release. Other than LB and Kassadin, who aren't that popular right now, I don't think anyone can beat him in lane. He's so good against most mids now.

My only explanation is that Xerath is too hard to play reliably in a tourney situation (specifically, too easy to screw up in a team fight) when you can opt for alts like Ryze who are basically a joke to play and incredibly strong. I know from personally fooling around with him that he's a bit unforgiving if you screw up. You can just keep mashing buttons if you're ryze though >_>


But honestly, dunno.
