That's the bane of his rework, even if I may sound a bit outdated right here. When reworking Xerath, Riot was focussing the issue of Xeraths old passive in combination with other penetrations outright melting enemy tanks. They changed him from an artillary, bombing everything that he can hit, to a sniper, who is deadly to squishies, but has a rather hard time handling tanks and assassins.

While I still hate to play vs. him (nothing that I hate more than accumulating damage that I can hardly evade -.-) the tank meta made it really difficult for him to be a one man army. It's way easier to engage nowadays with Glory, and wiping the enemy adc of the map isn't that rewarding anymore.
