Hitting the center of the spell isn't easy without a snare or a stun and it should be rewarded

You literally said it should be rewarded. It is like saying Veigar's W deals stupidly high damage even thought it is hard to hit. IT SHOULD DEAL RIDICULOUS DAMAGE. Sorry but it should. If you ever remembered Dark Matter, you would think Eye of Destruction is not that bad.

Also, I don't know if you can understand when Xerath shines, but you probably don't. Xerath is actually super bad against tanks because of their high resistance and engage potential. Xerath shines when he is against squishy team comps. Against squishy team comps, Xerath is arguably the most oppresive mage in entire LoL. So, if you think he is strong now, you had to see S4 Xerath.

And thematically, he is the most powerful Ascended. His gameplay had to be something similar  to Veigar's, pure burst mage who devastates everything in right decision. You don't get away his burst damage just because you think he is dealing too much damage when he is rewarded in a case that he should be.
