Xerath is extremely powerful, but it's hard to manage to pull him off. That's a typical "high risk; high reward" champion. And this is why he is so rare, but so outrageously powerful when you do face one. Syndra on the other hand is "high risk; no higher damage than the usual burst caster" (I say burst caster cause sustained dmg mages can go on raping people forever) which is why I am so uncertain of her viability.
