The point is that late game mages aren't supposed to be tank killers in almost all cases, they're supposed to annhilate squishy champions like their adc/assassin/mage. The fact that Xerath has range AND magic pen made him too strong against the everything, he could just kill the frontline with ease and from range, rather than using his range as it was intended to nuke the backline. That was the whole reason for the rework, a really good Xerath player was just plain toxic to play against as a decent stun from the fog of war would mean instant death.
