How to Play Xerath in ARAM Mayhem

You stand at the very back and poke before fights start, charging Arcanopulse (Q) for long-range hits and aiming Eye of Destruction (W) so enemies land in its center for extra damage and a stronger slow. Keep Shocking Orb (E) for anyone who dives you, and only channel Rite of the Arcane (R) when nobody can reach you, since it locks you in place. From Downtown and Luden's Echo push you further into long-range poke.
