Xerath strikes you from mordor, the difference in range with him and any other AP in terms of range is way too huge to be compared to Brand.

Both Syndra and Xerath have an easier time against ganks, both have much better dps, reliable CC.

He makes it up for the huge damage he has in his passive against tanks.

And you are wrong about him being the strongest AoE.

Freelosticks is the King of area devastation.

And that's just comparing ults only, Brand deals little damage with ult alone if it bounces one per enemy, whilst Crowstormguy deals constant damage in his surrounding, true AoE, no target limitation.
