I believe that Xerath's passive is there to handicap him, similar to Rumble's passive. And there's a reason why Xerath has a similar passive to Lissandra, that when compared directly is weaker than Lissandra's. Thats the ranges of their kits. Lissandra's skills are all short or mid range spells but Xerath's kit as all long range and even longer ranged spells. If you gave a passive like Lissandra's to Xerath, but without a handicap, will let him stay far, far away with no counter.
