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.”

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. ”

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.”

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.”

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. ”

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!”

Soft Headpats says “Similar to Lux and Ziggs, this lane is all about dodging skillshots. Rushing T2 boots against Xerath is common to help with this. Like with other mages, 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 also 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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

Zoose says “He is all skillshots so early boots will help to dodge them. Try side stepping as randomly as possible. Stay behind minions or further back to avoid his E stun, and go aggressive anytime it's down. It has a 13 second cooldown. At lv 6, look to catch him out and all in him. 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.”

Dustyacer says “Start corrupting. Consider second wind, cosmic insight, TWT, tp, etc. 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).”

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.”

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.

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.

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.”

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!”

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. ”

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.”

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.

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.”

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.”

If you stay back and try to play the lane regular he will shove you in and poke you under turret without any repercussions. So for this one try to take any trades that look healthy. 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.

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.”

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. ”

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.”

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. But these champions are strong earlier than you, so if you don't manage to survive or to poke them in early they can take huge advantage (Velkoz's ult, Ziggs' bombs, Xeraths' long range)”

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.”

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.”

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. ”

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. ”

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.

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.”

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.”

Novok 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. Ignite at the very end for a single tick or more, even if he still hasn't used it during your engage) ”

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.

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.”
