Most of the time enemy carries are really far away, plus the appropriate range safety in case they run backwards. Everytime I W and Q the enemy carry, thats the enemy tank's cue to flash in and stun me and I just melt since he knows I'll be stuck in the channeling of W and Q and even after I'm unable to immediately flash away since im chained.

Veigar harasses because his meteor hurts and is always paired with his stun which both stuns the target and has the closer side of the ring to prevent large groups of people coming close. Xeraph needs around 1 second to stun a single target. Pretty sure Veigar's ring is actually longer than Xeraph's E with locus of power, and he doesn't need to channel locus. Xeraph's spells may seem long ranged, but the fact that theres channeling on W means the effective range is much smaller unless people are running directly at you or are trying to mock you by pretending to be immobilized.
