there are lots of good things about this kit:

1. I don't need to pop ulti in order to 100% someone. Granting Xerath a third nuke is far, far bigger than most people are giving it credit for.

2. I don't need to pop a giant CD and make myself immobile to grant my spells greater range. When to use Locus of Power? Should I save it for executions? Should I save it only when I've fished out my lane opponent's CC? How far will my spells travel? PEACE, LOCUS, IT'S BEEN REAL.

3. That Passive. Seriously. You're going to want to harass with Q a lot now. That passive helps take the edge off the cost. Like a lot. Don't be surprised when it's nerfed.

4. Making his ulti's range inherently long. This goes hand and hand with #2 but making Xerath's ulti have especially long range instead of requiring a secondary cooldown allows it's purpose to be much more greatly focused on being used as a long range execution or sieging a tower.

It may take a while, but people will realize how good this rework was after playing as Xerath and against him.
