Swain is better but his snare is a skill shot. That being said, Swain if you like lane aggression, Vlad if you rice and like ez farming all game

Dam xerath looks really good for team fights, such long ass range. but as usual champion spotlights make them look amazing…so i will wait to pass judgment until i actually face one.

Loving the new skins for Brand and Teemo. Not that impressed by the Xerath skins. I am impressed by him as a champion though, definitely buying him.
Yeah I agree, they could have done so much more with the Xerath skins. Ok so now instead of metal plates he has… stone plates. And now instead of metal plates he has… rusty metal plates!!! They could have done so much more, but I guess they are keeping it for the future.
LoL Brand looks like Dr. Freeze.
And ANOTHER fucking Caitlyn skin, for the love of God!
Teemo is being Teemo, heh.
Irelia is meh, as always.

Omgawddddd Servers are bussy can’t get innnnnnn! I should have just left my game on instead of turning my comp off. When I saw “You are 9000000000 in line” with like 3 hours to get in… :sadface:
Okay so apparently someone working on Skullgirls plays LoL. Armhat girl says ‘Spin to win!’ when doing a spinny move, and now they have a character named Ms. Fortune.
Maybe, that would be pretty cool if they did

Pretend like Riot released these skins for Xerath. I would think about buying them.
How Xerath should look like - League of Legends Community
As for skins. Another Cait and Teemo skin lol. They do skins off of popularity so yea.
Support/Tanks won’t get new skins for a long while.
GhostRider Brand and now Mr. Freeze Brand
Cait looks like a slut so yea you gonna get alot of people getting that skin.
I might even grab it.

Patch notes aren’t too much lol. Taric’s Ult Cooldown is pretty useful. I mean 60 seconds without 40% cooldown is quite useful. Math sucks but like a 36 sec Ult or something.
Hybrid MF is lulz.

I just used the viewer to look at that Super Teemo skin…DAMN YOU RIOT. You are getting close to having me spend money on your rage game.
I was gonna buy Xerath but I think I’m gonna hold off for Kumiho. Lemme us know how he plays yo.
Will do as soon as I’m able to play a game

I’ve played Xerath, he’s lacking. He’s not shit but he’s not amazing. He does good damage towards end game if you get super fed but otherwise he’s pretty lack luster unless he has his ult up. Luckily it’s a fairly short cooldown as far as ults go. Going to try him tonight focusing more on CD reduction as it seems he really needs it. I’ve gotta get used to toggling his W better aswell. Will report back when I’ve given it ago.
P.S. All my experience is from dominion btw and not SR, which I would imagine he is better on.
Hes good in SR… balanced i should say. I think this is until people realise what he does and just focus him. His range is absolutely amazing though, ive got kills that I thought werent possible at all.
In team fights though you can often be WAY behind the group (and should be) in fog of war, and start raining down damage. His mid lane isnt bad at all and you can poke pretty well with WQ
Keep in mind, his W channels for his root but as soon as you hit W you have the range. So W with instant E,Q will give you the range while W is channeling. (i dont know if this is a bug, maybe you have to wait for root for the extra %reduction?)
They need like an Amazon/Xena Leona skin.

Xerath needs a nerf…hes stupid on SR lulz
Haven’t seen a good xerath yet. Shit on one with my anivia, out played him hard. I play a really really good anivia, not sure why I don’t play her more often lol.
I honestly don’t think people can say if he’s good or bad yet. Give it a month or two and then we will see where he sits.
Not a fan of that irelia splash. Too air-brushy to me. Not that I could do better (yet) but it doesn’t really appeal to me
