Some interesting development in the scene of League of Legends, over the last day details have been leaking regarding a potential upcoming champion VelKoz. Riot also released the new Xerath rework onto the PBE for people to test out.
This champion (or similar) has been spotted in the background of the Battlecast Viktor splash art:
ZenonTheStoic has been discussing the Xerath rework over on the forums:
Q is now a Vi/Varus style channel while moving spell with great range
W is now a circle AOE spell with what we refer to as a "sweetspot" mechanic (think Leona's ultimate)--additional damage and slow in center
E is now a skillshot stun
R is now full on siege mode: immobilize yourself to shoot three super long range missiles.

What we're particularly looking for in terms of feedback:
- Does the ultimate feel good for Xerath and for his enemy? Is it overly stressful to try and dodge it?
- Does Xerath ever hold shots in his ultimate or does he always fire them off rapid-fire?
- How safe is Xerath in lane?
- And finally, what about Xerath in odd positions? Jungle Xerath? Support Xerath? Go crazy! (but don't troll your fellow testers)
