played with xerath vs lux and had big probs. his cd on his W extremly high early which means you dont have an advantage with the range most of the time and lux can move direct after firing one of her 2 long range spells. xerath has the problem that he even "routs" for a short time when using his Q even without using his W.that means he is easy to hit while using Q and the enemy has the chance to hit him with one of his own abilities AND dogde xerath's Q. or simply wait till he used q because it takes him so long the you can fire back directly afterwards. for the same reason its extremy hard to avoid ganks. and pre 6 there is no chance to kill anyone. that is also because landing his stun is extremly risky and difficult pre 6 and you have only 2 dmg abilities without ulti. other mages can land their ccs much better.

i think his advantage early is his low cd on Q allowing you to harras ofter then your opponent. you need to avoid to get to close so he can punish you with a combo though.
