How do you find Xerath's old Q better televised? I find this one televised just as much as the old one. And old Xerath was even more a lane bully. Post six he can easily get a stun off and either burst the enemy laner down or force them home and could endlessly repeat because his ultimate should more or less be up when the enemy laner comes back. The stun was also just about unavoidable, guaranteeing his burst.

When I'm talking about taking the window of time Xerath is in your range, I'm taking about post six. When it actually can mean life or death. I mean post six, when Xerath has a chalice, Xerath would be poking and pushing down the lane with Q. You will probably not be too far from the minion he's going to attack, Malazahar will have enough range to burst him and Annie has to take a few steps.

And you talk as if casting W in lane, the skill he's not leveling up and damage and utility is dramatically weakened by a single side step, is enough to deter you from the opportunity presented. It really isnt.
