Tips Against Xerath in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
yJustSad says “Xerath is an immobile atilery mage, standing still he is an easy target for Nunus snowball, just hit him and he dies! Recomendet to buy a verdant barrier.”
0
22automail says “most xeraths will sit under tower and perma farm with spells. ideally you need to force the wave under your tower so he has to walk forward to farm. Slightly xerath favoured because he has insane range. but if you play strategically, give some minions for the wave to get on ur side of the lane and then you can look to trade. Dodgeable CC too.
You also destroy him on the side lane”

Aresia says “Dodge his stun, and his abilities and when you turn mega you can hard punish him.”

Gabbyzin says “Por que é counter?
Range muito maior, poke constante

Event Horizon says “Really annoying, second wind and overgrowth or cookies are both viable. Can cancel his R with your own R. Late game teamfighting you have way more impact if you and your team don't let him poke you out beforehand.”

Zewrocktumbler says “mostly used by scripters but if not just keep moving in random catch him lacking and roam ”

InTaggar says “ENG: If the xerath is good, ure in truble bcs he outrange u so mutch, try to evade his habilities and focus on farm. Anyways, play with ur jg and try to let him out of the game fast.
Runes: Arcane Comet.
Spells: TP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESP: Si el xerath es bueno se vuelve un matchup dificil la verdad, ya que siempre va a tener más rango que vos, dedicate a farmear y tratá de que, con tu jungla, lo dejen fuera de juego lo más rapido posible.
Runas: Cometa Arcano.
Spells: TP.”

Divine Azir says “You win if you can delay his power spikes with frequent jungle ganks. Very strong laning phase, no mobility.
① You can buy early boots to help dodge skill shots. I like to take Absorb Life to sustain his poke. If you are really struggling with this matchup, you can take barrier and second wind to survive his ultimate.
② Don't let him Q you and the wave together, force him to make a choice. Stand outside of wave while trying to dodge E. If he uses it and is within kill range, you can go for the all-in. Don't engage if he is not killable, otherwise he will do more damage than you with W and Q while you walk away.
③ Never get close enough for him to auto you, as he gets mana back from his passive.”

AuroraAddict says “xerath has a really strong laning phase vs you you should go arcane comet e max against him play after your 6 and you will be able to win and try to dodge as many skillshots as possible +keep your w until he presses hes E so you can trade him play teleport vs xerath”

BesXbola says “O Xerath como todos os magos de longo alcance nao vai te deixar farmar em paz. desvie dos seus pokes e pokeie ele tambem, quando ele ultar use sua passiva para cancelar a ult. A partir do level 6 voce explode ele com a sua ult”

Synergx says “Can easily space you out if he is good at hitting skill shots”
0
GAMING ACADEMY says “Another skillshot-heavy matchup, so be sure to rush Tier 2 boots and take advantage of the fact that his cooldowns are much longer than yours.”
0
zSmoke says “Playing against Xerath is pretty easy, the lane is about dodging the abilities and not giving him the E so you can trade with him pretty easy”
0
Tamikaze says “[Recommend Fleet]
Xerath is only a threat if the Xerath can poke you out consistently. Early boots are not a bad buy into this matchup for the extra move speed to dodge abilities. Don't be afraid to use E to dodge his stun. If he stuns you, he will full combo with W+Q to do massive damage. If you ever see him, use 2 of his abilities on the wave post 6, don't be afraid to all in him and just burn your ult to do damage (be ready to dodge the E). Even if he lands his E, he doesn't have abilities to do damage anymore. If you can burst him down, he will be fearful for the next dive you do, creating a tempo advantage on him. ”
0
MattStyle says “Lo odio. Poke excesivo sin que realmente puedas hacer algo al respecto más allá de ESQUIVAR, lo cual se vuelve más sencillo una vez tienes tus botas terminadas.
Puede ser sumamente gankeable o imposible de gankear. Todo depende de cómo juegue el Xerath. ”

j4ss says “Boring champions to play against but zero escape and squishy. Avoid his E stun with your E and just crush him. Statikk to counter his perma pushing and mercs in case you got stunned. full poke setup with standard build.”

Laimaudeja says “Aurora thrives against mages with low amounts of mobility and self-peel in their kit, as she can mow them down in lane while also blowing them up in sidelanes and teamfights.”

Coslan says “Xerath is once again like Lux and Brand. A mage with high range, high access to CC, and high access to burst.
Go Poke or Burst.”

Tatsurion says “Same as velkoz, you need to use your Q to trade here, which isnt ideal for your already fragile lil mana pool.
A very annoying lane since they will not get in any danger unless they make a mistake and walk too close.

MachineHeraldTTV says “Runes: [Aery][Gathering]

Vladmidir says “This matchup is completely dependent on how well you can dodge his abilities. dodge everthing and win”
0
GreenReapers says “Electrocute or Conqueror.
D-shield if you aren't good at dodging his abilities, else Long Sword.
Early boots help tremendously to sidestep his poke.
Xerath has a strong neutral against you, being able to clear the waves from range and using his passive to sustain his mana. Good xeraths wont let you get close to them and will continue to shove waves post 6, so you can't really kill them. If you spot a good roam go for it, because Xerath will shove the wave and probably get a plating for it, or follow after with his R.
If he oversteps tho, you should be able to kill him very easily, as he doesn't have any form of mobility besides flash.”

BC1970 says “Has range advantage, can poke you out pretty heavily. Don't go first strike as he will most likely render it useless.”
0
Viktorias Secret says “Painful early and midgame, same goes for other artillery mages (Hwei/Ziggs/Vel'Koz).
They outrange you by far, have same burst damage and AoE coverage than you. But your strenght is your better resilience in midgame and better DPS/damage over time + if you manage to reach them, there is nothing much they can do past 2 items.”

vitya331 says “Xerath is ranged but he is not a very hard match up since you can easily dodge his abilities most of the time and after all in and murder him. ”
0
Kazari says “QでHPをじりじりと削られる。
EでAll - inを完全拒否される。
出来る事と言えばQでダメージトレードを続ける事だけだが、相手にはQに加えてWによるダメージソースもあるため手数不利。
かといってタワー下に引きこもろうとすると一生Qでファームを妨害され続け、挙句の果てにはRで殺されたりする。
が、靴を積んでしまえばQを徒歩で避けられるので話が変わる。対面のスキルを全部避けた後にダーキンダガーでポークしてゾーニングすると良い。出来ればの話だが。”

sick204 says “Respect Xerath's long-range poke and burst potential with his abilities, especially his Q and R. Use Yasuo's E to dodge Xerath's skill shots and minimize damage taken. Be cautious of Xerath's zoning potential with his W and E, which can control space and make it difficult for Yasuo to engage. Utilize W to block Xerath's E in trades and team fights to reduce his poke and burst potential. Engage on Xerath when his abilities are on cooldown or when he's low on mana, as he can be vulnerable during these times. Consider building items like Mercury's Treads or Hexdrinker to mitigate Xerath's magic damage and crowd control.”
0
otaliz says “All of his abilities are skillshots, so you should buy boots at first base, so you can dodge his abilities very easily. Shurelya's build is good against him because of the extra movement speed. Mercury's Treads is also an option outside of Shurelya's build.”
0
Foxirion says “Xerath’s high range and crowd control can be a threat to Swain, as he can keep him at a distance and disrupt his positioning.”
0
michaliis says “Go Dorans Shield. Yone sided Match up. He is poke but really squishy and easy to dogde. Geto to him and he is dead. When he ults run around in E he wont be able to hit you because of the ghost.”
0
Laimaudeja says “I would use the Summon Aery page in this lane, and start Doran's Ring.
Use your early game power to gain wave control, lane priority, and potentially bully Xerath. Hold your Qs for when Xerath is charging his own Q, as the self-slow makes it significantly easier to hit him with abilities. Also avoid having no minions between yourself and Xerath from Level 3 onward as his stun can be very dangerous at higher ranges. You should buy boots early to have an easier time dodging Xerath's skillshots. ”
0
Yannou-Ari says “Flash - TP - Scaling HPs.
Xerath is very annoying because he is one of the few champs that actually outranges you. Never stand in your wave against xerath. Why? Because then he has to choose between hitting you or the wave. Push the lane hard so he doesn't get the chance to harass you under turret for free.
If both players are good, the matchup is even, since both of you literally only have skillshots as spells. Buy early tier 2 boots to prevent getting hit by too much skillshots. May the best scripter win!”
0
awawa says “A good Xerath is a cancer matchup. He outranges you, but you can try to trade and bully him out of lane pre-6. You NEED to rush boots early and dodge as much as you can. Make the lane your dance floor.
DONT STAY ON LOW HP IF HE HAS ULT
Life becomes easier after laning phase. He dies when you R.
Take barrier if you feel scared, rush zhonyas/mercs/banshees if youre struggling a lot.”
0
MageSept says “Xerath is a famously difficult matchup for Veigar, but he still relies on skill shots, and has mana issues.
Take Doran's Shield and Second Wind to survive lane. ”
0
ShokLoL says “Xerath can be bullied pretty hard 1v1 with the comet build. His cooldowns are fairly long and can definitely be dodged so try keep your movement active and punish when they are down. Make sure you don’t stack with the wave so he has to choose between hitting you or pushing the wave. Make sure to rush tier 2 boots in this matchup for the extra movement speed.”

ShokLoL says “Xerath is a fairly strong 1v1 laner but is vulnerable to getting ganked or all-ined. His cooldowns are fairly long and can definitely be dodged so try keep your movement active and punish when they are down.

Soft Headpats says “> Similar to other artillery mage matchups, this lane is all about dodging skillshots. Rushing T2 boots against Xerath is common to help with this.
> Avoid stacking with the wave so that he has to choose to hit you or the wave.
> When he charges up his Q, you have a pretty easy target for QW poke.
> You can WQ/WW to help with surviving his ult. If he happens to ult too close to you, you can cancel it with EQ or EE. ”

vSomnia says “Dodge his W and Q spam in lane. If he used W or Q to farm or missed you look to make a trade. Best moment to go all on him is when he is charging Q since he is immobile and cant cast his stun E. Always try to dodge his E, if you do you always win the trade. Sometimes you can even catch his E and still win the trade, the closer you are towards him the lower the stun duration, keep that in mind.”

Kikife says “This champion is a major threat for smolder. Since you're looking for roams with your E, or when farming, playing against a counter roam champ with his R available is difficult. Once you've juked out his E, look for poke. Otherwise you must stay constantly dodging. I'd recommend building swiftness and avoiding the wave entirely. Stack Q and scale. ”

XD001 says “Buy early boots and spam W's on the wave so you dont get chunked by his spells when you cs. Getting Protobelt allows you to constantly take trades and harass him, so focus on buying that as soon as possible. E him when his stun is down and you can 100 to 0 him mid-late game. Late game you 1 shot him.
Equal scaling.

Iceyou says “Very hard matchup if he is good . However every good xerath has a habbit of timing their e to hit you after you take your e. This is high risk play that you can punish and win trade if you master the ability to take your e a few miliseconds after the claw animation dissapears from the ground (yes you have a few miliseconds after your e is no longer visible to take it ). Avoid Poking him unless you have manaflow band and allow him the push . He is extremely gank vulnerable and your setup as lissandra is too much for him just spam your jungler a few pings . His poke is too much Dodge his qs as first prio and cs as second prio .”

liqulabouse says “Same as vel koz. Since he buy the lost chapter there is no way to win the lane except begging for your jungler to come”

The Milelator says “Really annoying. Stand behind minions or dodge his E. Pretty much dodge all of his abilties and all in or trade with him when E slow hits. If you don't dodge his E, he will win the trade, unless you ult into him, forcing him to flash or die.
Push waves and roam. Nothing more you can do.”

WarwicksSimp says “Usually you just win this matchup outright no issue but the champion is a busted laner.
Killing with ignite + pta is usually pretty easy especially if you q dodge his stun or flash it. Even under tower you won't have a big issue with it. Just play smart and learn his playstyle then abuse that.”

Fuzzmonkey says “A fair 1v1 fight in the river would certainly be in your favour. Xerath has the bonus of having huge range. He zones you out of farming, and you cant really engage on him because he most likely hugs his tower. Take advantage when he decides to overextend without his E up. ”

support_diff says “Xerath can easily poke you down as your auto attack animations are longer as you attack twice. Even if you get close, he can stun you and hit the combo on you. However, he is really squishy and can easily be killed by your trading capability. Try to trade as much as you can to stomp him on lane”

tangerrine says “SO ANNOYING, he is a SUPER long ranged champ that can poke you with high damage at any point in the game. Best piece of advice, build boots early on to try and avoid his abilities easier and engage when he wastes his stun. Electrocute would be a fine option, with Glacial OR Rocketbelt to catch up to him and his immobility.”

NickLeVlach says “Hard match up, im not gonna lie. He has a long Q and you have to predict it. His passive gives mana return, killing minions. Make sure that, he will miss the W and kill him.

Samikin says “Skill Matchup.
Can you dodge his skillshots? If you can, you win the lane easily. You get early push and lane dominance with Aery, make roams, and create leads elsewhere on the map if Xerath is too afraid to fight you.

Aery (+ Ingenious Hunter) rune page

TheAfricanDream says “If Xerath plays at his max range, there is nothing Swain can do to fight Xerath. Try your best to land a W as soon as Xerath starts to charge his Q and that will slow him, making it almost guaranteed to hit your W. If you manage to land an E on him, try your best to dodge his E as that is the only way for you to ever kill him in a fight. Take Second Wind as one of your runes and buy a Doran's Shield as your starting item.”

Atemporal says “Esta é, na minha opinião, a partida mais fácil de Ekko. Se você está jogando com Ekko e o inimigo trava no meio de Xerath, a partida deve ser vencida para você. você vai normal Q comece com Electro
você acabou de jogar o nível 1 seguro. O que eu costumo fazer nesta pista é ficar atrás dos meus lacaios nível 1, então se ele tentar te cutucar ele também empurra a onda. Pegue um 2º ponto em Q no nível 3 e empurre com força e recupere para Dark Seal. Sempre que Xerath
vai usa W em você, E para evitá-lo. Quando você empurrar as ondas, fique ao lado de sua onda para que ele tenha que escolher entre cutucar você ou igualar sua waveclear. Não tenha medo de E para evitar seus Qs também quando você for para o push.
No início do jogo, você pode negociar com ele quando tiver a chance. Mesmo que ele te atordoe quando você pular sobre ele, a duração do atordoamento no alcance corpo a corpo é de apenas 0,5 segundos e se ele usar E, muitas vezes fará com que ele fique ""preso"" dentro do seu Q, então ele ainda fica
acertar. Depois de 6 você pode até começar a negociar com ele sob a torre e você pode facilmente mergulhar nele se ele estiver baixo. No seu Proto spike o jogo fica ainda mais fácil, mesmo que Xerath esteja com hp cheio eu vou mergulhar nele. Se você não quer fazer mergulhos arriscados, você pode facilmente
apenas empurre cada onda e vagueie. Xerath não sobreviverá se você o emboscar, então ele não deve correr o risco de segui-lo. ”

SanyGame says “Xerath is a oppresive champion for Heimerdinger. To counter his long range abilities, keep your turrets spread out so that he has to take them out one at a time. This will drain his mana and make him less effective in fights. Additionally, use Heimerdinger's passive to kite Xerath's abilities, by quickly moving around. To further increase your chances of survival, it is recommended to buy early boots, this will help you to dodge his abilities.”

RuchaczSzmat69 says “Movement is key in this matchup as his only damage lays on skillshoots. Early might be a bit hard but late you win. He outranges you hard and you need to play around your barrels as he is inmobile and easy to hit. The good thing is that you can oneshot him late and he cant do the same to you as you can W his stun. prowlers claw counter him hard.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Xerath has very reliable wave clear and push thanks to his low cooldown abilities and kit. Avoid taking unnecessary damage by standing outside of the minion wave when he uses his abilities. Look to trade with Xerath when his Eye of Destruction(W) or Shocking Orb(E) is on cooldown. When he doesn’t have either of these abilities, he is incredibly vulnerable. Avoid roaming if Xerath is in lane as he can push the lane very quickly while you’re gone.

Body Those Fools says “Same thing as Syndra and Vel'Koz, dodging simulator. This matchup is easy if you can dodge his abilities, if you can't, then it's very hard. You can buy and upgrade boots early to give you enough movement speed to dodge his abilities. If you struggle with dodging, you can consider Taste of Blood or Biscuit Delivery for extra sustain. Never let him AA you because he will get more mana back from his Passive if he hits a champion. Make sure to sidestep his E so you can't get hit by his full combo. Make sure his E is down and you've gotten him to low HP before you engage on him. He's very immobile, so communicate with your jungler and you can farm him. You can click back and forth in a couple directions to make your movement harder to predict to help you dodge his abilities.”

RIPStollie says “This has become one of my least favorite matchups because of how much Xerath outranges Brand.

Keep track of his flash and ping it to let your jungler know. You can cancel his ult with your W and Ultimate. Mercury Treads and Banshees are a great buys to counter his poke and cc.”

Seriously go predator against him and start boots.
You can trade him as he has no sustain but try to dodge his abilities since it s all his dmg.
His E travels kinda fast you might want to see it in practice too before you go against him but you can just Pool his E if you can t dodge it.
If he goes barrier you prob can t kill him early try to get his barrier down before level 6.
At level 6 you just one shot him if he has no barrier.
After level 6 if you ever see him in lane just press predator and go ham on him even if you don t kill him he can t stay in lane since he has no sustain.”

Try to e if you are going to get hit by his e. Your e blocks his ult even if he hits behind you, as long as u are facing him.
Constantly try to threaten the w onto him, or get bullied until they let their guard down and they enter our w range and we kill them. Buy boots to dodge abilities and chase into our W and chase him down. If u w onto him without him using e, sidestep after he comes out of cc to dodge it. If he did use e while during your w animation, u get cced for not a long time and can still get a decent trade.
He hard outscales you and he starts getting insane poke after Lost Chapter + LVL 7/9 (LVL 4/5 Q). Try to get roams or get jungler ganks, if jungler ganks dont be afraid to Flash W. Don't hard commit too much as he often takes Barrier.
If he Follows our roams, we bush cheese him on the next roam.
Mid-late game, try to kill him by ulting on him and making him afraid to ever leave his team.
Try to split the enemy team up by splitting (depends on rest of enemy team comp too).”

TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Long Sword and Refillable Pots start.] Xerath is super easy to run down. Just go all in whenever you can and dodge as much as you can. If he has no E then he can't step up. Freeze the wave and keep him from farming or getting experience.”

lonestar1870 says “You want to hard push him as much as you can, roam when needed. Xerath does well when he can push you in and then use abilities to poke you under tower. Keep prio and play around your team, but don't die to ganks.
You can easily get early prio this matchup, auto wave a lot, position aggressively so you can Q if needed. Unless Xerath gets far ahead, you are almost always able to get prio if you aren't playing too passive.You can also set up freezes if your jungler willl gank for you.
Electrocute is good for more damage onto him. Comet is decent since it can be hard to hit 3 spells on a good Xerath. PR is alright if you play for scale.
I prefer Teleport vs Xerath, but you can go Ignite for more kill threat.
Buy boots early. Dodge his spells and win. Don't dodge and you lose.
Get refill/c-pot at some point.”
0
Desperate Nasus says “Similar matchup as Vel'koz. On early levels use your Fleet footwork, Second wind and Doran's shield to heal his poke. On your first back buy Sheen plus Boots of lucidity and look for a solo kill. You can pretty much dive Xerath with 200+ stacks. Be careful when you dive a Xerath since most of them use Flash and Barrier for summoner spells.”

Other champs with abilities like xerath are generally easy matchups.”

WayOfTheTempesst says “Another lane similar to Lux, Zyra, etc. Don't stand in your minions so he has to choose to harass you with his Q or push the wave with his Q. Windwall his E only if its going to hit you from medium-long range but not point blank range because even if he hits you from point blank range it will only stun you for .5 sec which won't really matter too much. Dodge his skill shots by Eing through the wave and push him in to force him to run oom csing the wave. ”
0
WayOfTheTempesst says “Just dodge his poke and this lane is incredibly easy. If you freeze the wave at your tower, he is
forced to walk up. He is very vulnerable to ganks and super immobile. Use your E to dodge his Q, W, and ults.
If you ever Q3 or E at him, he will just E you. At level 6, you can just ult him and he can't do much.”
0
Katawina52 says “Same as Velkoz, but tiny bit easier. His poke is just as annoying, but way easier to all in. When you E>W>Q in always make sure you continue to move around to avoid his E. This matchup depends a lot on how good you are at dodging and how good Xerath is at hitting. Dont be afraid to go for all ins after level 6 and in 2v2s you should hard win unless you take too much poke. Mercs vs xerath is good if they have more cc's.”

PlayCabex says “You just need to farm until you get level 6 and get your first item then you win”

eiensiei says “Just like Vel'koz, Xerath simply does what Lux does in lane, but better. His combo always deals more damage. Most Xeraths won't Q right on top of a champion, but to one of its sides. I try to notice which direction he usually goes for and dodge the opposite way (or I'll use W if it looks like the Q is about to hit). He clears the wave with W-Q, but Lux doesn't have the same luxury, so it's good to make peace with the fact that he might have better CS as I'm pushed in 24/7 - however that does leave him vulnerable to ganks. If my jungler doesn't come, I'll farm to the best of my ability and hope I can get better picks later on than he can.”

Drewmatth Taliyah says “Corrupting Potion because Intensive Poke and sustain is heavily needed. Biscuits MIGHT work too but I'd rather have Minion Dematerializer.
In Long Range Mages Matchups you have to try to understand their Q pattern and where they will cast it. They would generally want to either poke
you down to kill you or shove you out of the lane, but the matchup is not really impossible if you get boots and try to get close to them for a nice combo.Xerath is the most oppressive as his Q's bypass minions, but they are dodgeable if you always switch your dodge pattern.
Try to be as non predictable as possible.
Get Minion Dematerializer.
Post 6 try to either get close on them with your ult and outplay with flash OR roam
bot faster than them and get kills. They will follow with their long range abilities but by the time they actually do something meaningful you should have sealead
the deal. This matchup is all about roaming and learning how to
properly dodge his poke on lane. It is okay if you do not get kills, but it is not ok to get killed especially since he cannot 100-0 you unless he's super fed.”
0
Yeager says “One of the easiest match ups. Take the full sustain page to survive his poke and look for trades already from level 3. He is immobile so it should be almost impossible for him to dodge your skill shots without flash. All in him at level 6 if you've managed to poke him down a bit from earlier levels. Once you get out of laning phase and into the side lane, he can't do anything.”

AP WormMaW Mid says “We all know this guy and what is he cappable of from big distance. This is why you will pretty much lose all trades pre-6, where it's best to just farm up. At level 6, when he starts channeling Q, you can try to hit him with E,Q,R combo because it's really hard for him to avoid it when he is slowed down due to his Q channel. At level 11 it will be a bit easier to trade him from distance, but still not 100% great because your ranges will be similar. Where you actually start outperforming him is level 16, where your range becomes higher than his, so whenever he is channeling Q, you have free R hits on him, which will force him away from whatever objective that he is currently trying to defend. So chill out here and don't get behind, you will be stronger later on!”
0
Yeager says “One of Cassiopeia's main weaknesses is her short range. Xerath outranges her, so you should never have a chance of killing him if he positions well.
You can still win this lane but it depends entirely on how good you are at predicting and dodging skillshots.
His waveclear is also much better, so that makes it even harder for us as he can constantly shove in the wave after 1 complete item.

LunarVortex says “His poke is very annoying to deal with, but once you're close to him, he's in trouble. He's very squishy and has no ways of dodging your Q or getting out of your ult. Time your E well to spellshield his stun when running him down. Buy early boots to make dodging easier.”

Curt Mcbeltpants says “A matchup I like to play against a lot, pokes similar to lux, do not stand in the middle of the wave when he charges up Q because he wants to hit both, force him to choose between you or the wave.

Fuzzmonkey says “Xerath can be pretty stressful to play against since it's very hard to get close to him. I would highly suggest buying boots first against him so you can avoid his skillshots. I would also recommend using double chains against him too since he is immobile and all you need to do is keep dodging whilst adding autos to the combo. Try to all him at every opportunity early game using your W as close to him as possible with your E+Q combo, since when he gets items, he'll be waveclearing pretty fast and you'll be using your mana on clearing minions rather than going in for him. Remember to call for ganks on an overextend Xerath.”
0
Yeager says “The outcome of this matchup entirely depends on how good you are at reading the opponent because Xerath only has skillshots. You can rush tier 2 boots right after you get Lost chapter to make it much easier to dodge his abilities. He has the range advantage at all times, and also better waveclear with enough items, which makes him a good pick into Orianna. You want to get out of the lane ASAP and look for plays at top/bot to snowball your laners. ”

AniviaBot says “With Xerath support becoming more and more popular, this is also a threat you will encounter. Threat as support is mainly for same reasoning as in midlane. He has more range than you and with the mana sustain he has from passive he will pretty much always outsustain you in lane.”
0
ShokLoL says “Xerath is a fairly strong 1v1 laner but is vulnerable to getting ganked or all-ined. His cooldowns are fairly long and can definitely be dodged so try keep your movement active and punish when they are down. Make sure you don’t stack with the wave so he has to choose between hitting you or pushing the wave. Make sure to rush tier 2 boots in this matchup for the extra movement speed. At level 6 be careful of ulting forward and getting stunned by his E, as he will probably ult you on the way out.

Kords says “Xerath is in my opinion Sol's easiest lane. He is immobile, his only safety in his kit is a skillshot, and you win the extended trades. Roam to ruin his teams day, he can only ult from afar, so he can't reliably follow you. In teamfights, you want to focus him, as he can kill your backline by poking them constantly, you can kill him easily because he is so immobile. Take Phase Rush. His e has ok speed so if he positions like he should further away from you, you have to run straight at him which makes landing it not too hard for a good Xerath. You have to dodge it or else it is a big block though and if it hits you don’t expect to get anything vs him.”

And you need to have the fancy feet because dodging will be the best way to win. You can also all in at 6 to beat him if he is overextended. His range will be the mountain that you either climb or die on in this lane. Ask for jungle assistance.”

kindo says “Farm lane, not much you can do to try to kill him. He'll stay back from far and poke and/or waveclear from range. Don't let him autoattack you for free - it gives him double mana back from his passive. Q'ing into him to get closer typically helps because it makes his stun duration shorter, so if you are going to fight then you can tank the shorter stun or try to dodge it altogether (in which case you likely won't be in range). W can help sustain any poke you take from him in lane. Just push and roam since it's hard to even get in range.”

Kessi says “Save W to dodge poke in lane, this will force him to walk up and auto when he is oom and then you jump on him, really average matchup but also can be annoying if they play safe, since they will probably also be running barrier.

Sylvan Lore says “My least favourite orianna matchup in the game. He outranges and outdamages you with a low cooldown Ult and skillshots that are nearly undodgable if placed properly. The best you can do if counter picked this hard is try to break even and land some nasty late game Ults. Build Mercs and Banshees after a mana item so that you can survive his rotation. Do you best to hide in minions to he cant land an E in laning phase. If you somehow do get in range to combo him, he actually is quite squishy and you have kill pressure. But that is unlikely if he is spacing well.
Recommend: Barrier or Heal and Vs. AP Assassin build with merc treads.”

Nanelol says “Xerath can be tough to lane against because of his huge range. You really cannot trade with him as he won't allow himself to get into range of your abilities. The only way you can really kill Xerath is when you have enough damage to flash or ult forward and 100 to 0 him, and even this can be negated when he takes barrier. The best way to lane against Xerath is not to lane against him, play safe until lost chapter and then shove and roam. If he follows your roam, you can kill him before he reaches the safety of his tower, if he shoves to your tower and starts autoing it, you can gank your own lane and catch him out of position.

Overall not fun to fight, and very difficult to stay alive.”

cookanarities says “Farm lane, not much you can do to try to kill him. He'll stay back from far and poke and/or waveclear from range. Don't let him autoattack you for free - it gives him double mana back from his passive. Q'ing into him to get closer typically helps because it makes his stun duration shorter, so if you are going to fight then you can tank the shorter stun or try to dodge it altogether (in which case you likely won't be in range). W can help sustain any poke you take from him in lane. Just push and roam since it's hard to even get in range.”

DynamicConscious says “He just outranges you. If he is a very good player, you will have a very difficult time in lane. But I would recommend trying to all-in on him after he uses his stun, as he has nothing to stop your charge. For him, his offense is his defense. ”

The Jhin Cena says “Take the Fleet Footwork Laning Runes and take Unflinching if they have a lot of CC. Xerath is one of the easiest match ups for Yone. Similar to other squishy mages, there isn't really much he can do once you engage onto him, especially if he doesn't conserve his stun. The best time to engage is once he is trying to land his stun on you, dodge it with E and then go in from there. You can take extended trades with him being that as aforementioned, he cannot stop you once you dive him. When he is charging up his laser, this also leaves him vulnerable for your Stacked Q or your ult, so that is another opportunity for an engage. The only threat he really has is killing you if you stay in the lane too long after letting him poke you, so don't get greedy and recall if you begin to get low. If he does happen to ult you though, dodge it with your E1 and exploit the extra movement speed to dodge the rest. You can also E and ult him to interrupt his ult and get back to safety easily.”

Noodles912 says “His is super immobile, and if he uses his ult, it's a free shark for you. Get in, kill him, and get out. While laning, stay away from your own minions, so he has to choose between minions or harass. His E is easy to dodge with your E. If he uses it, ALL IN!”

elnino9 says “Dodge his Qs, careful when you walk up to farm as he can Q or W, use shunpo to avoid skill shots if needed. When you go in on him with EW be sure you try to juke his E afterwards as most xerath players will immediately try to throw it out, use W's decay movespeed to avoid his E when all-ining.”

PASS10NE says “The best way to counter Xerath is by dodging his abilities, but that is easier said that done. Do not keep distance from the champion and try to harass him. One W + Q + P combo will take down half of his hp. Be wary of ganks because you will be extending a bit to harass xerath.”

GeDBo says “This is Azir's toughest match-up. Xerath outranges you and if his aim is good, arguably can out-damage you as well. There is a simple trick on making his game difficult - never stay close to your minions. You should stay in between the minion wave and the bushes one the side of mid lane. This way Xerath is forced to choose whether he should aim his abilities at you or the minion waves. If he aims at you, he will loose a certain ammount of CS doing so. Buy boots early on so it is easier for you to dodge his abilities. If he aims at the wave, this opens an opportunity to poke him. Try to shove the first wave. It is difficult to farm with Xerath under turret, especially in early game. Xerath's biggest weakness is his lack of mobility. Unless he has flash, there is no way he can escape from a successful Shurima Shuffle combo. The Arcane comet rune page is strongly suggested in this match-up.”

InkHeiko says “This time it is about high ranged champions liek Xeraths, Vel koz or Ziggs (even if Ziggs might be the worst between the 3): The laning will depend on how well you can dodge the spells.

SoraSan says “Essa é a pior matchup para o Azir, Xerath de ta outrange e out-damage(caso acerte as habilidades dele). Existe um truque simples para lidar com o Xerath, não fique perto da onda de minions. Fique entre a rota e os arbustos. Dessa forma Xerath é forçado a escolher se vai bater em você ou na onda de minions, se escolher bater em você, ele perderá farm com isso. Compre botas cedo para poder desviar de suas habilidades. Se ele bater na onda de minions, você poderá pokear ele. Tente puxar a primeira wave, Xerath tem dificuldade de farmar debaixo da torre, principalmente no começo de jogo. A maior fraqueza do Xerath é sua falta de mobilidade, a menos que ele tenha flash, ele não será capaz de escapar de um Shurima Shuffle bem feito.
Cometa Arcano é recomendado nessa matchup.”

BigBushMan says “This is an easy lane, despite the severe range disdvantage. The key here is to stick onto him like a leech. If you are on him, he can do nothing, and you have free reign to kill him. Be careful of his E if you try to dive him, as that will turn the dive instantly. Other than that, just don't get poked out by his range. ”

xxseraphinaaxx says “The static floater is hard to deal with for a few reasons. He outranges Anivia and just pokes her to death. Well, just go all in right? No, as he can just stun you and run away. Since you have no mobility, you have almost no way of dodging his ult or stupid beams easily and then again, he can just continue to poke.”
0
Hiimkata says “Same as Velkoz, but tiny bit easier. His poke is just as annoying, but way easier to all in. When you E>W>Q in always make sure you continue to move around to avoid his E. This matchup depends a lot on how good you are at dodging and how good Xerath is at hitting. Dont be afraid to go for all ins after level 6 and in 2v2s you should hard win unless you take too much poke. Mercs vs xerath is good if they have more cc's.”

wildersovereign says “This matchup is similar to Vel'Koz, but easier and more annoying due to his poke. His poke in the early levels is notable, although you really can't do much offensively about it. Once you gain a few levels, you can start to meaningfully trade with him. Predict his E with yours and kill him with a binding. He is very immobile and his Q slows him, so take advantage of this to assassinate him every chance you get.”

MetaKnight13373 says “Xerath can be tough to lane against, You really cannot trade with him as he won't allow himself to get into range of your abilities. The only way you can really kill Xerath is when you have enough damage to flash or ult forward and 100 to 0 him, and even this can be negated when he takes barrier. The best way to lane against Xerath is not to lane against him, play safe until lost chapter and then shove and roam. If he follows your roam, you can kill him before he reaches the safety of his tower, if he shoves to your tower and starts autoing it, you can gank your own lane and catch him out of position. ”

Jamakin12 says “Dodge his Qs if you are able to. He can poke you down early and is difficult to kill. Once it reaches mid game, you start to scale harder than him. His passive allows him to gain mana, so in most situations you won't be able to wait until his mana drains. This matchup is all about baiting his Q so he misses it, but if he is a smarter player and is better at reading your movement then it is a good idea to play more defensively. I personally unlock W level one in this matchup but unlocking Q is also useful for dodging his abilities. ”

FalleN3 says “In the early levels there is not a whole lot to say, Xerath simply has an easier time than you. If you manage to trade with him you should be able to deal more damage, however your will use up more mana than him each time. His enormous range gives him a big advantage and your best option is to not bother trying to trade with him but to concentrate on farming instead. Try your best to avoid his poke and skill shots and be sure to make good use of your ball defensively (E). Early boots will be a solid buy in this match-up. Once it gets to late game, he will look to poke - you will need an engage, keep that in mind and look for openings.”

Lunasta says “the best chance you can get of killing him is engaging on him when he's trying to farm, just like ahri, he can prevent you from roaming by just pushing the wave, he is not a hard champion to gank, so if you're in trouble, stay safe, try to avoid his poke with your W and wait for your jungler”

Yeager says “If you have trouble dodging skillshots, i recommend rushing boots ASAP.(Then you swap out secondary runes with domination). He has long range poke and strong waveclear.

He can keep this lane shoved hard though so you might end up farming under your tower.”

Reason97 says “High range, decently low CD's for poke, deadly burst...... poke champs are always annoying since they can keep your passive down so easy. And since xerath has the potential to whittle you down and kill you without ever needing to come into your range, a good xerath player is a serious threat. ”

Fadedreformed says “Not a big threat, just don't stand next to wave when you see him charging up his q, this will make him decide if he wants to have a good wave or poke you. After 6 ult e q and retreat back, avoid getting hit by his e or he is gonna chunk you for a good percentage of your hp”

ShockMaster says “From PLat 5 up,Xerath players are very good,and you don t have to underestimate them..it s a difficult matchup because his poke is very large..and if he kill you he snowball very hard. Buy some magic resist,and go all in if you 3 times Q,surely,if you dodge his E.”
0
Yuki H. says “This can go either way. Either he absolutely dumps on you nonstop, or you make him int and regret picking Xerath against you. If it turns out to be the latter, well, good for you! However, most of the time, he's able to poke consistently with all of his abilities since his passive allows him to constantly regain mana (his auto attacks restore mana every few seconds, and it is increased against champions). His W slows you, which makes it easy for him to hit his Q. If hit by his stun, rip laning phase. It is very possible to stomp him by punishing his misplaced skillshots, and jungle ganks are very essential to shutting down a Xerath.”

Veralion says “Not the easiest thing in the world, but survivable. The real threat here is his W. You can juke his Q fairly easily with your W up and his E isn’t an issue if you don’t position stupidly, but his W is very quick and will guarantee him a comet proc and a Q poke if it lands. You have to be very careful when going into that range. And God forbid he ever lands a direct hit with W, slowing you to a crawl. That might get him a full combo and several autos, probably killing you. Play back, play safe, concede farm and gain levels. You won't be able to ever run Xerath down on your own unless he whiffs his stun after 6. They usually run Barrier as well. You’ll probably be stuck farming it out and waiting for your jungler to make a play. His rank 1 ult has 5000 range now, so strap your juke shoes on if you ever fall below 300 life. It's pretty easy to dodge all of his shots with your W active.”

snukumz says “He's a real asshole in lane.
He's a long range poke mage like you except he's better at it than you.
Try to stay away from the minion wave so that when he uses his abilities he has to either try to poke you, or he pushes the wave and doesn't hit you.
Try to wave clear and not let him roam/get in range with his ult.
Your combo damage is higher than his so if you 1v1, and especially if you can avoid his stun, you should win the fight.
I usually run corruption potion instead of dorans & 2 health pots when playing against Xerath because you'll need the extra sustain. ”

Gageowago says “Skill matchup in the same way that Vel'Koz is but with one major difference. Xerath's skillshots are way easier to land. When he is charging his q try and juke him by going in one direction for a while and then abruptly switching, and then after doing that for a while just don't switch directions to avoid being predictable. Try and stay out of w range because it is nearly impossible to avoid if he is in range. You win trades if you land charm. His E Q W is far weaker than yours if your items are even. If you are high health you can abuse how his Q works by walking up to him when is charging it and just charming him. He slows down massively when he is charging it and has to completely stop while using it.”

serruh says “if you dodge all his skillshots in the early stages, you will find this matchup to be pretty smooth for you, but in case the enemy has hands this wont happen very often. he perma outranges you, nothing you can really do about it since you need to massively outplay to kill him or do any meaningful dmg at all. with that being said, you shouldnt be afraid of dying, assuming you dont get hit by everything. as much as it sucks to hear, this matchup is honestly very coinflip, you either dodge his stuff and are a happy smurf or you get hit and feel miserable through whole laning phase. can look to pressure with jg since he is immobile.”

RockitoAhri says “Similar to the Ziggs matchup. Do not just stay back and dodge his skillshots. Play forward, do not go in the minion wave, and trade back with him. This will put him off from bullying you in lane. At lvl. 6, you can all in if he is at 70% HP or lower. Its a guaranteed win, charm is not required to kill him. (Beware of Xeraths running Cleanse.

A good Xerath won't go into your combo range, so you'll just have to do your best to farm.

N1VA says “Though Xerath doesnt deal too much damage to Anivia early game, its the consecutive amounts of damage that will push Anivia out of lane. Xeraths ability to damage Anivia from afar and outside of Anivias attack range makes for a very abusive lane. Xeraths mana sustain from his Passive allows him to continually deal long range damage with no consequence. If Anivia can get on top of Xerath she will dominate.”

DravensBukkake says “HEAL HEAL HEAL HEAL HEAL (or cleanse if they get tig bitty Elise)
Same stuff as other mages. Force him to use abilities on you, or on wave. If he uses Q early on wave, literally walk up and spawn a soldier ontop of him. If you guys both have everything up, always be at his max range. Your W Q AA will out dmg his Q + E dmg, but not Q + W dmg. Dodge either Q or W, you win the trade. Super immobile mage, easy af gank setups after 6. A trick is to E Q side ways in kind of a 90 degree angle, so its harder for him to land his E when you shuffle in. Either that or flash to dodge his E when you shuffle. BUY BOOTS EARLY.”

Marumo says “Threat level 9.
For Veigar, Xerath is a massive pain in the back side. He has very strong poke, which can also be used to hard shove the wave. He has mana regen from his passive. He has huge range. All these together result in a very frustrating laning phase. If you let him push you under tower, he can use his superior range to poke you. If you try and keep the wave from crashing, he will out sustain you and cause you to run out of mana. The best bet is to wait till the late game where he is not as strong as a team fighter.”

If he starts to really hurt, it might be worth picking up a Banshees if you're constantly being poked out of lane.”

Er hat einen extremen starken Poke, demnach empfehle ich das extreme und häufige roamen, um auf den anderen Lanes die Kills abzuholen.”

Fluctuation says “Against Xerath, you need to try to stall the matchup and not trade as much pre 6. Once you have your ult, you can all-in, and he's likely to die. When engaging, try to predict his stun and sidestep/flash.”

picarowanderer says “Xerath has BUSTED range. Wind Wall his moves and maybe poke. His range is too good. Riot, please nerf him.”

LyndonK9 says “Against a xerath you want to play forward and try and poke him. Try and dodge his abilities but if you get hit by W it's pretty easy to land his Q. Don't get harassed too much. After hes taken a little poke you can ult charm to kill him. Watch for his E and try to dodge it with your ult.”

TotallySugoi says “It's an annoying match-up for sure, buy boots early just to dodge his skill shots better and buy health pots on back. Try to poke him a lot and just wait until late game.”

Schmigo says “You can easily dodge his skillshots with your E so just do that”
0
Yenwai says “His wave clear, range and damage make him a very problematic matchup for Malzahar.
buy boots early and only all in with R up if the enemy jungler cant help them.
use your teleport to gank while he farms and help your team as you wont win lane easily.”

QuickChicken says “Xerath statistically counters Azir.
He has range, poke, and more damage than you.
This lane is still winnable as you can shuffle him into your tower or your jungler. Good Xeraths typically win this lane.”

BicBee says “Stay away from minions to make him choose to CS or harass. Keep your ball forward in lane to try and gain some pressure and to discourage his stun. Against a good Xerath it's difficult to solo kill him. Focus on your CS as Ori has a better time than Xerath in team fights. ”

Buy early boots”

AzureArmatt says “Xerath players will try to keep you as far as they can and stun you when you get close. He can be really annoying with his efficient wave clear and big poke range and long range ultimate to secure kills on you and your teammates while staying at relatively safe distance. His lack of mobility makes him easy target for you if you manage to doge his stun that is quite slow projectile (same goes to your charm) which is his only way to get out of sticky situations when someone jumps on him. Consider buying mercury's treads that will help you survive his poke and also lower the duration of his stun so you will have more occasions to kill him ”

Ebug8215 says “His poke makes killing him almost impossible. Keep up cs and late game will go your way.”

Padrepio says “Long range mage with a "short" range stun. Low mobility, he's easy to stun when he charges his Q.”
0
overweight_zoe says “Good xeraths can be pretty annoying so make sure your dodging is on point. They'll usually run barrier or cleanse so don't get baited and over-commit. Don't stand near minions so he has to make a choice between matching your shove or looking for harass. ”
0
Utopia3567 says “You must just dodge his spells and poke him when he come close to take farm, freeze as much as you can, not too hard lane phase”
0
Jammy158 says “His poke can go through Windwall, but you have mobility. Dash around and all-in if he overextends. Save windwall for his E. Annoying because of his long-range poke but vulnerable if you all-in on him.”

Junix L9 says “He will spam you with Q try to dodge as many as possible.
When his E is down, you can try to fight him.”

LuxIsMyCrush says “have more range than you, have damage, he is your dad. Now, Luke Skywalker go and kill him.”
0
BARAL says “His Arcanopulse can do a lot of damage and he have a longer range with it than you, so don't stay near minions and let him make a choose between hitting you or hitting the minions, because he want to poke you down while hitting minions at the same time. His Shocking Orb can stun you and after that he will combo you so be careful. He doesn't build defensive items so you can burst him down EASY later on.
”
0
LionLifeSteal says “Outranges you completely and can zone you out of lane very easily with basic mechanics. This is the matchup I personally have the most issues with because his range allows him to just play out of your e range at all times and still be able to kill you and your team. Best way to counter him is to play around vision and hit your stun if possible.”
0
PlaygeP says “Has way higher range than you can poke you down quite easy. Get Closer to him so you can also poke him or give a proper trade which completly relies on skill.”
0
moutenn says “He stands long away from you, but when he oversteps, kill him. His stun only stuns a long time if you are far away from him. Which you are not when you engage with R. Also a time to go him, is when he charges Q. He will slow himself so its easy.”
0
qasddsa says “Extremely oppressive laning phase and annoying to deal with in teamfights because of his poke. Once you get going into the late game you need to be wary of his stun or else you could get one shot. You do not want to be pushed up against him so he can't freely harass you. Definitely want a Doran's Shield and Fleet in this match up. ”

0
Andicus says “Zed is fairly good against Xerath, HOWEVER if the Xerath is good he can constantly poke you into the depths of the Shadow Isles. If you dodge his abilities you win trade. Farm with Q and auto minions whenever you can. Ask for ganks as well. Once you get ahead you can beat him fairly easily as he is squishy. Play him like you would against an Ahri with more range.”
0
rimzaki says “He can poke him but hes too much squish dodge him e with ur sanguine easy lane”
0
dingram says “He's a pretty tough matchup and eating his skillshots will make this super painful, so dodge his abilities and play safe. Could be worse.. (Diana)”
0
Gambinos says “Thing about Xerath is that he will poke you out long range but at close range, you're most likely win the fight. All in him at level 2 and you'll kill him or prevent cs from him by a bit. Avoid his attacks by dashing through minions. He'll most likely run barrier so try to make him waste it.”
0
Sozzoh says “Xerath can be a pain in the ass if they know how to hit skillshots. If not, play aggressive (but still be careful) because Xerath has no mobility whatsoever. Abuse this, and you win lane. Be careful of his stun. Most Azir's stand still when they autoattack, so be sure to kite between every autoattack so you don't get hit by Xerath. If Xerath is a problem, I would suggest getting boots first back so you can dodge skillshots easier. Once Xerath uses a full rotation of his abilities to either push wave or try and poke you, Shurima Shuffle him into your turret and it should be an easy kill for you.”
0
Katapullt says “It's mostlikely a farmmatchup. A good Xerath will stay very safe and only go agressive when you get a gank. When he runs towards you, you should go behind Minions and go to your tower. ”

JuaniG17 says “Focus on dodging and wait him to be OOM (hopefully), push lane and roam”

iiCrispi says “Out trades you hard, wouldn't recommend trying to go aggro on him without your jungler. Don't let him get any kills from you, or a shutdown, those can give Xerath a comeback.”

AQRC Turtle says “Keep dodging his poke and avoid getting poke for free so play safe until you hit lvl 6 . Always walk side way of the lane and dont stay behind your minion. Once he use his e hes a free kill without his flash or zonya”

Frosty Bonhomme says “A good Xerath will poke you from max distance, not much you can do in this match-up until you get a gank.”
0
Loving those Chimes says “Can be annoying but if you play carefully and buy a hexdrinker you should be fine. You can kill him easily with your 1 item spike. In the mid to late game he is a non existent threat.”
0
RobinR says “The only thing Xerath has really is his poke, just try to dodge his Q's and you'll be fine.”
0
Smol Jelly says “Xerath is a skill match-up. His main Q poke slows him down, making it easier to land your bind, and his ultimate locks him in place. However, his poke HURTS, and he's got range comparable to yours.”
0
Saddest says “If you can get on top of him he will simply explode. That is the challenge however, you will probably never be close enough to even graze him with a dagger. Laning phase is simply a dodging minigame. Be on the lookout for his E, the stun is no joke if it travels far enough.”
0
ShokLoL says “Xerath isn't too bad in the early levels but the lane will get harder as it goes on. Play comet E max and focus on dodging skillshots and hitting him with E when he comes up to CS. At 6 you can probably setup a gank and you will be much more useful in fights, so try not to bleed too much 1v1.”
0
mitchellgamer12 says “Dodge his skillshots and save W for his E or his R.”
0
Chuleex says “Xerath is not weak, he has more range and wave clear power than you, of course without his e he becomes vulnerable but he makes up with his extreme poke and mana sustain, looking to roam is harder as he can waveclear very fast but is the best option if you dont find a kill angle, apart from that hexdrinker can help you win the long trade and survive his burst but a great xerath is always hard to deal with. Go dshield and his e cd.”
0
Zeekar says “A bad xerath can get obliterated by rakan mid, but a good xerath can position himself well and zone you to hell and back. Get refillable potion if the xerath is good. Try and get a gank. ”
0
zolamalo says “You don't ban this Champion but you can't win either. If he’s good at landing skill shots, or you struggle to dodge them, he can completely dominate the lane. Focus on poking him with your E while pressuring his mana pool, and buy boots as early as possible to help you avoid his abilities.”
0
ShokLoL says “Xerath is mostly a skillshot check, he has long cooldowns so try be aggro if they're down. Once he hits 3 be careful walking towards him due to his E, at this point you will probably only use Q for the shield and instead focus on E spam. If you can have a favorable first base it should be easy, but if you go even then you can start to struggle.”
0
ShokLoL says “Xerath is a simple skillshot check. Stand apart from the wave, try auto it as often as possible to make him have to use abilities on the wave to match. If he uses all his cooldowns try and zone him off/slow down his push. Rush swiftness boots.”

His stun will be your worst nightmare for hitting hooks”

Arctic Arrow says “To handle him effectively, avoid his skill shots by positioning carefully and using your mobility. His Q (Arcanopulse) and E (Shocking Orb) can deal significant damage from a distance, so keep an eye on his cooldowns and try to engage when he's out of position or has missed key abilities.
Focus on dodging his poke and looking for opportunities to engage when he’s vulnerable or has used his crowd control.”

Ziulo says “Also outranges you and outdamages you. Will send ur adc to recall really soon.”

Beware of W into his E as it will only knock back and wont knockup Xerath.”

Foxirion says “Xerath’s high range and burst damage can pose a significant threat to Nautilus. His ability to poke from a distance can make it difficult for Nautilus to engage.”
0
Stillo says “
Facing Xerath in the laning phase as Braum can be tricky due to Xerath's long-range poke, especially with his Arcanopulse (Q) and Shocking Orb (E) which Braum's shield can't block. This makes it challenging to engage or protect your ADC effectively. To handle this, focus on strategic positioning to minimize Xerath's poke damage and engage when he's vulnerable after using his abilities. Utilize bushes for surprise engages and coordinate with your jungler for ganks to pressure Xerath and gain an advantage in lane. Additionally, invest in early magic resist items to mitigate Xerath's damage and stay relevant in the laning phase”

Foxirion says “Xerath's long-range poke and burst damage make him a major threat to Rakan, as he can easily poke down Rakan from afar and control team fights.”

Sinyora says “Xerath's heavy magic damage can break our E) Black Shield with a single spell without having it block CC. Then since the rest of his kit is long range, he never has to walk close and risk getting hit by a root.
Added bonus that his spells have no missile time while Morgana's Q) Dark Binding is super slow.”

Kcmichalson says “[SUP] Xerath will try to stay behind minions and exploit his range advantage to poke you down. He will often skirt the edges of the wave to poke your carry, so wait for him to move to the edge of a wave and rush to pin him to a wall.
When he ults, don't be afraid to use W and E to abruptly change your positioning. ”

TnDD says “Fark ettiysen yüksek menzili olan destekler Bard'ı ct'lıyor. Çünkü koridor aşamasında çok fazla yeniyorlar.
Xerath koridor aşamasında çok fazla dürtüyor ve koridorda gerçekten sinir ediyor. Ormancınla daha çok vakit geçirebilirsin(roam at adc'yi terk et.)
ÖNEMLİ BİLGİ
Ayrıca Xerath Q'sunu kullanırken kendini yavaşlatıyor ve Ultini %100 tutturuyorsun.(Karşıma script xerahtlar geldiğinde kaçma şansları olmuyor. Q'larını doldururlarken onlara ulti basınca öldürebiliyorum. ) Onu öldürmek için Q'yu atmadan önce yoğunlaşmasını bekleyebilirsin.”

Xintero says “[Skill Matchup] Like Zyra, Xerath's poke damage is stupid and hard to dodge. Some people permaban this champion rather than Zyra, but if you have a good ADC, it can be possible to engage (if you haven't been poked to death). ”
0
JordyGSmiteq says “The Xerath lane is very skill-based, but definitely in favour of Xerath.
You'll find most trouble with his long range and mana sustain. However, my genuine advice is to be closer to him, and don't be afraid to take EARLY trades.
While Xerath scales really well into the late game, his early-game is unfelt, in my experience, and can easily be taken advantage of by Hwei's dynamic kit.”

Aerenax says “Xerath is also a "support" with damage and crowd control. Stay healthy in lane and play around his cooldowns, especially his E which is pretty long. When you get on top of him, you can burst him down quickly with the help of your adc. You might have trouble blocking his damage as you can’t block his W and R.”

Ryecheria says “Typically mage supports have more range and better poke, but you could shield damages from abilities. Make sure to dodge crowd control abilities. If they miss abilities (especially crowd control abilities), look to punish or all-in.
Dodge stun, Karma's abilities outclasses. Dodge his Q and shield his W. Prioritize dodging his E at the start of his rotation. It is hard for him to get damage off otherwise. If you have E up, it is hard for him to land R because of move speed.
Play similar to Vel.
Xerath outscales at 30. ”

Can you dodge his skillshots? If you can, you win the lane easily. You get early push and lane dominance with Aery, make roams, and create leads elsewhere on the map if Xerath is too afraid to fight you.
Recommendation:
Aery (+ Ingenious Hunter) rune page
Crown of the Shattered Queen + Lich Bane”

Yoshiking123 says “Lane phase is pretty difficult. It's super hard to approach him and although you can mitigate his poke with Shields and Heals... it doesn't feel good to waste mana just to prevent the poke from becoming a problem.

Cyclic says “Like lux and xerath but once again slightly worse. Senna hp nerfs and second wind nerfs hit hard here as his Q does a lot of damage early and is really hard to avoid before you get your full boots, making wave control hard to get.

Toches says “More annoying than threatening
Decent poke, gets outscaled
watch mostly for his stun ball to dodge it, his targeted circle does pretty negligible damage, and diagonal movements make his Q harder to land.
try to E him if he goes for mana regen off a champion, make that scary for him.
practice juking his R, with upgraded boots you should get pretty good at only soaking 1-2 shots max.”

PullTrick says “Oftentimes you can bully Xerath really hard in the first 1-2 levels by E'ing into him with ignite and looking for a kill. After that it can be hard unless he wastes E. Would recommend either straight Q max or 3 points Q into E Max. Rushing Vamp scepter and tier 2 boots will make sustaining his poke easy.”

WhiteLotus says “He will keep you on range with his W and Q. Play around the Fog and let him waste his Abilitys. If he steps to close to you, you can run towardas him. Make sure to dodge his E and you will get a kill.”

Fenreee says “|||SUPPORT||| As a support Xerath brings little to no utility to his ADC, in exchange for damage in the form of skillshots and high waveclear. This means that by dodging his skills you're effectively making him completely useless. His W slows and sets up his stun and Q, so Swifties are a very solid choice in lane. Roaming can be difficult as Xerath can reliably poke out your ADC even under tower, but setting up ganks with Glacial or even just scaling with Aery is pretty easy here. The entire laning phase is just played like a game of Dance Dance Revolution pretty much. |||MID||| His low mobility and high waveclear can make him very gankable if he's dumb, but if he's freezing you will just be wasting your time. Also invading the enemy jungle can be sorta dangerous as Xerath can assist his Jungler without moving from Midlane at all.”

zotet says “Xerath will make it hard to push their tower due to his insane range, he can easily shred his enemies if they get too close and can be very strong. His main weakness is that he has restricted movement and is very immobile, this makes him and easy target to Senna Q, W and R. Take fights when he is isolated and don't stay close with your ADC.”

iSupportOnly says “Annoying poke, take defensive runes and magic resist.”

Melyn says “Only reason I'm not putting a 5 is he's easy to gank (especially if you bait his stun beforehand).
He has super long range poke and often doesn't run OOM. If you ever engage on him, be prepared to dodge his stun (or you will likely die).
Corrupting, time warp tonic, and dark seal can be good choices here. Glacial augment with Twin Shadows can also be good for catching him out and killing him.”

Atemporal says “Esta é, na minha opinião, a partida mais fácil de Ekko. Se você está jogando com Ekko e o inimigo trava no meio de Xerath, a partida deve ser vencida para você. você vai normal Q comece com Electro
você acabou de jogar o nível 1 seguro. O que eu costumo fazer nesta pista é ficar atrás dos meus lacaios nível 1, então se ele tentar te cutucar ele também empurra a onda. Pegue um 2º ponto em Q no nível 3 e empurre com força e recupere para Dark Seal. Sempre que Xerath
vai usa W em você, E para evitá-lo. Quando você empurrar as ondas, fique ao lado de sua onda para que ele tenha que escolher entre cutucar você ou igualar sua waveclear. Não tenha medo de E para evitar seus Qs também quando você for para o push.
No início do jogo, você pode negociar com ele quando tiver a chance. Mesmo que ele te atordoe quando você pular sobre ele, a duração do atordoamento no alcance corpo a corpo é de apenas 0,5 segundos e se ele usar E, muitas vezes fará com que ele fique ""preso"" dentro do seu Q, então ele ainda fica
acertar. Depois de 6 você pode até começar a negociar com ele sob a torre e você pode facilmente mergulhar nele se ele estiver baixo. No seu Proto spike o jogo fica ainda mais fácil, mesmo que Xerath esteja com hp cheio eu vou mergulhar nele. Se você não quer fazer mergulhos arriscados, você pode facilmente
apenas empurre cada onda e vagueie. Xerath não sobreviverá se você o emboscar, então ele não deve correr o risco de segui-lo. ”

When he doesn’t have either of these abilities, he is incredibly vulnerable. Avoid roaming if Xerath is in lane as he can push the lane very quickly while you’re gone. Look to roam when he’s either dead or in base.”

Korippo says “Super high damage, good late game scaling and a decent amount of CC--but it is a winnable lane. He's still very immobile and squishy, and therefore there are windows of opportunity to catch him out with your ult and periodically poke him back with Qs and autos. Early game is the best time to go after him as that's when he's at his most vulnerable, but anytime you can catch him alone, it's best to play aggressively since he only really shines when he can get a decent amount of range on the enemy.”

0Banda says “ Xerath is a skilled matchup for you, he is pretty similar to Vel'Koz, as he will constantly poke you with Arcanopulse and Eye of Destruction and combined with Arcane Comet, makes it an awful poke to play against.
As a counter-play, when engaging, focus Xerath, as he has a very low mobility and has very low health
Against Xerath you should buy Boots in your first back, in order to have better movement speed, and dodge he's skillshots, also take Second Wind because of the huge amount of poke this guy haves”

Rayzer74jr says “This guy does way too much damage and his stun is way too capable of stopping the impending doom that Aatrox is, if you see him in champ select and he bans a support or ADC, don't go Aatrox unless you want to fight the biggest uphill battle of your life. Once I got close to him he was easy to kill, to do that I had to dash through a wall while he was attacking a control ward so I had time to set up al my abilities while using the ward to hide myself.”

Vispectra says “I'll admit , laning against him isn't easy but boy oh boy does this guy pop like corn once you get into his face. He will be a pain in lane , you can cancel his Q but honestly it has a rather low CD and he's often too far , it's often better to try to side step or Q a minion to negate the damage. Once you hit 6 , he shouldn't be able to kill you anymore.
I recommend boots asap.”

DasNerdwork says “Pretty even matchup, he can interrupt your dashes with his stun, but you can CC him very easily as he has no escape abilities besides his flash. If his itembuild is too agressive, try to build some magic resistance.”

Esoterica says “A similar principle to Vel'koz, except his poke is more difficult to avoid as it's uncertain of he's trying to hit you or your ADC. However, he has nothing for you if you jump on him, as his stun's duration is at its minimum with no distance travelled.
The strategy changes little post-6, except that you must be more aware of staying in lane with low life or with a tower dive imminent.”

MyOnlyBrand says “Xerath outranges Brand greatly and unlike Brand he has a stun skillshot that isn't conditional. He will deal damage, bully you and you won't be able to handle him. If you do get close enough, and he's CC'd, you suddenly provide a lot more than he can. If you are facing a poke combo botlane I advice doubling down on your roaming. You'll likely win, even if he beats you in lane.”

Tauricus2017 says “Xerath is pretty awkward matchup to face. His poke hits hard and his range is insane. He is though very reliable on hitting his skillshots and If he doesn't, then he is completely useless.

Overall hard matchup that depends on your ability to dodge.”

Takitsu says “Big range advantage, with lots of poke and damage potential. Get up in Xerath's face for flay/hook early laning. Pre-3 usually Xerath won't have stun yet, so walking up to flay or hook is easier. Avoid Xerath Q+W as much as possible to keep your HP up for engages. Look to fight Xerath before he pokes you or your carry out of lane.
Post-6 Hook/Flay can stop Xerath ult as well as Q.”

His E is easily dodgeable, and while his W is a little harder to dodge, Xerath players don't really put points into this ability until later, so it shouldn't be something that your shields can't soak up, assuming you get hit.

Xeptron says “Xerath - the God of poke. We've all been there where Xerath pokes us from 2 screens away. That's Xerath for you. His high AP damage is very annoying and undodgable W ability is also one of the reasons you hate playing against it. All Xerath players buy the blue support item thus the only way of making money in lane is by poke. Xearth's Q ability is a charge up ability and most of the time Xerath's have to walk up for it. That's your window to engage. If you have a chance to dodge the ability, that would be a great time to use it, flash over his stun and follow with flay & hook combo. Once it's done, there is no chance of Xerath's survival. He is squishy and very reliant on his positioning. One misstep can lead to a death. ”

Building some sort of magic resist is a must if you do his late game will not be too bad and the only thing you need to dodge is his Stun. A good Xerath will never be in your E range early game.

brandbrandbrandbrandbrand says “Take biscuits, take mr shard, go for early ruby crystal boots if you can and don't let him get free w q's onto you. He is as immobile as you so if he e's or w's and is over extended you can flash over his E/W and then e q w him or r q w e him.”

snukumz says “High damage and massively out ranges you.
Watch out for his stun since he can burst you down low easily, and finish you with his ult.
The good news is he is squishy and your ult will wreck him.”

snukumz says “He out ranges you and it's really annoying. Try to juke his poke as much as you can but he hurts a lot when he hits you. ”
0
snukumz says “Similar to Vel'Koz but worse.
His poke hurts you a lot, and he super outranges you.
Try to get leveled up and look to stun & delete him if he gets too close.”

thesophieset says “Annoying laner, but if you can sidestep his E, you have little to fear. Stack Magic Resist, maybe get a Mikael's if your ADC likes running into Xerath's E spell, and dodge his R shots. If he is focussed on ulting someone else on your team and you are in range, you can cancel his R with your E. Don't underestimate his damage output and make sure your jungler focusses him during ganks as he is basically a glass cannon with very little self defence tools.”
0
MrMoonBird says “He very easily outranges you and can punish you for being idle for too long. But because a lot of his abilities are long range, getting close and kiting around him might be a good idea.”
0
NalgaSensei says “Very hard to stun since he outranges you like crazy and his poke is quite the threat. He's easy to beat though if you are adept at avoiding his poke and if you're able to stun him, you can just delete him. ”
0
Yuzu says “Boots of swiftness and dodge his skill shots. His poke potential is heavy, but you can be able to dodge it.”
0
Maxwhale Plays says “For all mages it is similar to lux, it depends on your ability to dodge skill shots and for them to land them”
0
snukumz says “Super annoying poke that does a lot of damage.
If you can dodge his poke then you should be alright, but if you can't then you'll be heading back to base often.
He is immobile and squishy so if you can get to him and snare him then you will wreck him.”
0
Akja says “If you're facing a good Xerath you won't be able to gain any gold from poking because he'll zone you out and you won't be able to do anything about it.”
0
frekko says “Annoying, really annoying, but not more. He can't kill you, because you just need to build same MR to be safe against him.”

Lobban says “Xerath have hard poke. Dodge his E at all costs, if you get hit by it he can easily oneshot you if you are not snowballing early. ”

SynLynx says “Horrible poke, the only weapon you have against him is your w. You can cancel his ult with yours if you can see it coming.”

Amityoce says “Longer range, Can setup fights against you with almost no counterplay, when you hit your power spike of ardent this lanes usually very one sided against xerath. YOU OUTSCALE HIM HARD ”
0
rquoe says “Xerath is one of 3 dangerous champions that can outrange you, but unlike with Caitlyn and Zyra it will take a lot more than a few mist stacks to get on his level. Play safe and try to CC him whenever you can once his abilities are on cooldown. Ask your jungler for a gank if needed.”
0
OxDZZZZ says “He has high damage in early mid and late game, and eve is squishy ”
0
Akja says “Really bad match-up, you'll get constantly poked and there's almost nothing you can do about it since he outranges you quite hard.”
0
Keny McCormick says “This lane is going to be annoying. Just got to dodge his skillshots and you can win trades. He has no healing so as long as you can survive his poke, you can push them out of lane or force an all-in.”
0
ThePandaEvan says “Xerath pokes a lot but is super squishy if you can get to him. Going protective will be better to help with the poke from him.”

Apho says “If Xerath is not in Q range, focus on his ADC and try to avoid his abilities in a motion perpendicular to Xerath or run away.”

JenaColada says “Snowbally matchup. This guy will be your nightmare during broad daylight. You have to be good at dodging skillshots or you can say goodbye to your laning phase.”

JustSlayter says “High damage and long range make him a nightmare to lane against. Try to survive to late game.”

HoneyQT says “Pretty much a worse Lux with less CC and no shield. Very little threat to you.”

ColeRamen says “Xerath's poke is crazy and cant really engage well even if he uses his stun cause he also has a slow ”

Lonewolff55 says “his CC and damage just too OP against raka. His range allows for better poke and safer play.”
0
unrealPR0D16Y says “He does the thing where he pokes you until you get so bored of laning that you just get up and do something else, eventually leading to your slow and painful demise. Also pretty good at running around and not dying.
He's not a support...”
0
KC_Toxic says “Easy matchup dodge his abilities with r and see for q e poke after 6 with all ins. Stun is flashable or dodgable after getting the proc of fleet footwork.”
0
PayyBack says “Use your E properly to dodge his skillshots.
Same like with Brand and Vel'Koz, Xerath is really weak versus high engaging champions so post 6 look for all-in on Xerath and there's a really high chance you'll execute him.”
0
NamiSona says “Getting hit by this dude is like getting hit with a power line in the rain. has a very long powerful, hit range.”
0
Daedralus says “This one is quite tough as you can't get near him easily. Therefore, you must look for potential all-in attack when you can. Best method is to activate W and run towards him. When he uses his E, use your ult so that you collide mid-air, canceling his stun, and suppressing him for a lot of damage. Considering he is a very squishy champ that has also lost his stun, a follow up Q and some autos should be able to finish him up. But before you can get to that point, you really need to survive laning phase without feeding him =)”

JSKF says “Annoying, but an even fight, if he is support just dodge his Q's, he can't do much besides that.”

Hanjaro says “Xerath has longer range than you, and that makes him hard to catch out, along with the danger of being poked out. Dodge his abilities, try to engage on his ADC and dodge his stun.”
0
Hanjaro says “He has long range, mana sustain and high poke, coupled with a stun and a slow. Avoid his abilities, wait for a gank, your ult can cancel his, try to time it right.”

Aizenvolt says “Just like with velkoz, easy immobile mage, play smart and dont get cocky. After 6 you can kill him, just dont give him easy kills. ”
0
Hanjaro says “Longer range than you, higher damage. Play passive and dodge his spells, wait for a gank - use your ult on him when he's ulting!”
0
Hanjaro says “Xerath has longer range than you, and better poke. The laning phase is pretty hard, but just try your best to dodge his abilities. If you get a gank he's very squishy.”
0
GoBucket says “Oppressive Poke. Terrible to lane against. BUT at least he is immobile. Bait out his abilities and take advantage of his lack of escape. Once you get on top of him it is over. Rush merc treads.”
0
AetherSplit says “Xerath´s long range makes trades for Bard uneasy (requires a lot of dodging). In equal skill cap matches I recommed to simply wait untill level 6 and get an access to an open fight via cutting the distance with Tempered Fate.”
0
spark2 says “Xerath is tricky, but very winnable. He bullies you early game with his poke, and since Arcanopulse and Eye of Destruction are pretty hard to dodge, it's important to build boots against him ASAP. The good thing is that he's only good at long range, since his stun ( Shocking Orb) only stuns for a decent amount of time if he hits it at range. In other words, he's got almost no self-peel, similar to Brand. This means that if you can dodge one of his spells with Phase Dive and jump in on him, he's defenseless. He also has no mobility and charging Arcanopulse slows him down even more, so landing a Parallel Convergence on him is actually pretty easy. He wins pre level 3, you should dumpster him afterwards.”

WhiteGoliath says “nothing to say, pokes you from tower, you're dead.”

sunnyg says “He has no sustain, and his abilities can easily be spell-shielded.”
0
SirZeros says “Against Xerath it should be pretty easy to lane. Do your best at dodging everything he has. Buy boots early. If he ults, look at the radius that pops up, from that indicator you can guess where he's standing and ult him, to not get more Ulti hits. Since he can't move while ulting, it shouldn't be that easy to miss your Ult.”
0
NoHard says “More threatening that Morgana, as he can put out abilities in a quicker fashion and deals more damage but can be easy to bait, again use your Q to dodge his Q and don't stay in range of his stun (E) for long unless you make the engage to knock him or the ADC up.”
0
Xavier Senori says “Xerath is a pain in the butt due to his range and stun. It is hard to get within range to do any DPS, and if you move towards him, he can easily stun you and put out the hurt. A good trick if you want him to push is to stay within your own minion line so that when he goes to harass you he will damage your minions and naturally push the lane. The good news is that your Noxious Blast's movement speed boost makes it easy to dodge the majority of his skills. If you are having problems with him, buy an early Negatron Cloak for the MR, push the lane, and roam.”
0
OP Goose says “same as zoe. His lane phase against you is so strong you might be out of the game completely, unless you was w or e out of his q. Winnable but not a recommended lane. ”
0
JustFunPlay says “He outranges you, but you scale better into late-game”
0
YangYouChuan says “A good Xerath will poke your HP so good that you can't even touch enemy minions to heal yourself and your ADC. Once you hit his "Shocking Orb", you are so dead.”
0
AgreeableOtter says “Same as Cassiopeia. Matchup can be more difficult if the Xerath is good.”
0
Shderen says “He outranges you, but he is SO easy to dodge and hit with abilities. You'll very likely outsustain him, don't let him get mana back by auto-attacking you. I will bump his threat level to major, however, in light of witnessing a great deal of skilled Xerath players. lately. Their skillshots are extremely precise can really make your laning phase hell.”

N0ZOMI says “Good Xerath is good problem :) Never stop mooving and looking for opportunity to land trouble bubble. He's squishy target.”

SawyerNelson says “Move well. Hook when Xerath is ULTing or channeling Q.”
0
Enfurnal says “For Xerath, if he ever charges his Q towards you, start running to the right and juke back to the left when the Q is about to be launched. His W can be dodged in many directions but usually I dodge backwards. His E is a some what skinny straight line skill shot so dodging left or right would be ideal (predictions). His R should be the easiest to dodge, you can walk forward back, left, or right to dodge. If you dodge forward for first charge, move left for second and so on.”
0
kkiskk says “Dodge all the skill shot to win. If he has no E at lv 2, all-in him by putting a point in E at lv 2, otherwise put a point in W. The key to win against Xerath is to survive his combo by either dodge it or tank it. Get Mercury's thread ASAP to have the move speed and MR. If you feel like you are not able to dodge his skill shots poke, all-in him before you run out of hp. He is very weak without his E as his E has rather long CD so try to dodge his E if he use it. Take E lvl 1 to bully him before lvl 2.”

AmericanNa says “One of the few champs that can poke you out with ez. ”

ff20orfeeding says “Some people play him support and it is a problem (for you). He can poke at a very long range and has quite reliable utility as well. ”
0
Tipurrs says “One of Annie's Hardest Match-ups. his Q is hard to dodge and if the Xerath player is really good, he'll really crush your lane. Roam in other lanes. Farm under your turret and call for ganks as he is an immobile champion for a sure kill or flash.”
0
KhaliDino says “see zyra + you can stop his ulty, and he walks slow when charging Q so he is easy pickings with your R when he does, the worst to lane against, but the best to play against out of lane. Your R is his nightmare.”
0
SawyerNelson says “Xerath support out ranges Zyra but you can heavily punish him while he is charging Q by matching it with Zyra's E to root him.”
0
SawyerNelson says “Xerath out ranged Bard early and somewhat related Bard during the laning phase.”

Prenora says “Xerath really sucks for you, the best thing is to start boots and rush Merc treds, which really delays your snowball. but not doing so will just get you whittled down all too fast”
0
undeadsoldiers says “Xerath pushes pretty damn hard. Try your best to avoid his abilities.
You can stand behind minions to avoid his E, but then you risk getting hit by Q or W.
Your sole saving grace is that if your bubble lands, Xerath is donezo.”

macspam says “The most irritating poke in the game, just survive and try to get shit done through roams. ”

meowingcats says “Poke Master.
Just whatever you do, don't get hit.”

Lonxu says “If it's a really good Xerath he is actually a counter to Zyra.
You just try and try to poke him without getting punished too much.
Don't let him land the stun.
Even if you lose the laning phase it's not the end of the world. I think Zyra might actually be more useful later on with the Liandry plants etc.
”
0
GeneralJ0hn27 says “Has great poke lvl 1-2 but once level 3 just can abuse him so hard. as soon as he finishes using Q and even better if he uses W on top of that GO IN. he will try to use his stun as a last resort but most Xerth panic and use their stun immediately and its very predictable. If you do block it its a free kill, and you repeat that until the end of laning phase but be careful jungle ganks are common so Ward well.
”

Pykings says “Pyke vs. Xerath
Early Game: Dodge his [Q] poke and [E] stun. He’s squishy but has strong poke.
Mid/Late Game: Focus on catching him out with [Q] and [R]. Avoid his ult burst.
Key Tip: Bait his [E] before committing to fights.”
