Xerath benefits from staying under his turret, as he's extremely safe there while being able to waveclear and get kills without even moving any further. This is also the reason why "ask your jungler" is not an ultimate solution to this.

Xerath can easily take on almost every single midlaner in current League. And even if not, he can safely farm and then go roam any lane, once again safely because enemies are not even close reaching him while getting nuked.

You know, i might even consider his Q somewhat reasonable, but then there comes W, that has no charging MS slow and is certainly undodgable without blinks/dashes while having just as much range and some CC to add more kicks.

Just because he isn't overpicked at the moment, it doesn't mean he's perfectly fine. Even if we pass it all and say he's balanced, he's still greatly frustrating to play against, with only LB being slightly more annoying, and being nearly as annoying as damn LeBlanc is an achievement.
