I had this in mid once... it was a long, uneventful stalemate. I was 0/1/1 for the game, getting him down to about 10 health and then dying. GP was owning hard up top, and they surrendered at 20, at which time I had Sorc's, catalyst, null-MM and blasting wand, and he had double doran's, sorc's, amp tome, and giant's belt. We both seemed kind of so-so to me, but I don't mid that often. He got a little more farm.

If Xerath anchors when Cass is close enough to ult before he can combo his stun, she has an advantage. But if he's built enough health/resists, it's too hard to burst that down alone without a gank. If someone ganks him while he's rooted, you Miasma and run at the very least.
