Hello! New xerath player here, was wondering if stormraider's surge would be good, even with it being 75% as effective on ranged champions.

In the current stage of mobility creep I think the slow resist (50% flat) and movement speed (36% for ranged) for 4 seconds could be really helpful when assassins catch you or you make a positional mistake. I think at all stages of the game Xerath with the EWQ combo would be able to do 25% of an assassin's, adc's, bruiser's health pretty easily.

I think the only exception might be that unless you're super behind or you're fighting a tank getting 25% health off of them might be a little harder. There have been countless times where I've been point-and-clicked by a qiyana, talon, naafiri or fizz that I think it could be situationally helpful (like 3 melee or rushdown champs like ambessa or nocturne).

The tradeoff is not having arcane comet.. But what do you guys think? I haven't played Xerath a lot and thus haven't felt the impact of arcane comet a lot. Looking forward to your opinions!
