Ya, except until you get the 2nd evolve... those 2 seconds can make a difference. I suppose I just don't value the extra damage as much on his E, but I suppose with the Q nerfs it could come in to play more than I figured, I will give you that one. Not really a complaint , more of an observation as I usually am not in a position to get ripped, however, I do see many people get caught and instantly exploded. In that same vein though, having to potentially auto attack once or twice or having to chase to finish with another Q could end up letting a person survive.He said "slight changes to his Q along with some slight buffs to E/R to compensate" and then went on to complain about the character.
The nerfs to his Q are huge. His E is not being slightly buffed. Getting 2 seconds less cooldown on your ability that resets on kill/assist in exchange for a 50% reduction in the AD scaling of that ability is a net nerf. The R changes are changes that will only matter in fringe cases. In almost every situation it will be indistinguishable from before.

Holy fucking shit Xerath. That kit looks amazing. You can even play him as a gimpy support. To bad his E looks like a projectile.
The nerf to his Q looks like a pretty huge swing of the nerfbat compared to what we're used to seeing. Added on top of the E damage nerf and that reduces his 'assassin' status quite a bit, he was already borderline melee dqs/squishy bruiser in matches that weren't one-sided. Since his burst went down, he most likely has to rely on more sustained damage. Doing sustained damage requires either safety from being ranged or from stats. He doesn't have either of those so it who knows what they're doing. The 'buffs' to his ult are essentially meaningless since the stealth is so short (and, much like akali, highly susceptible to the new oracle lense if your enemy isn't retarded).Ya, except until you get the 2nd evolve... those 2 seconds can make a difference.

Mostly. Now that Rengar is dead and Kass is getting his rework it's down to scyther and fizz really.Is he just the last remaining competitive assassin that isn't Kassadin? Seems weird.
