"You should be trying to play at max range" - Ugh... Really? Due to the cast time on his stun and its range, and the fact that you MUST position yourself closer than that to compensate for the hectic displacement that teamfights cause, "playing at max range" is quite literally one of the worst moves you can ever make. It will result in missed opportunities of every sort, and if you build squishy on Xerath, then you have wasted a lot of potential. That being said, Deathfire Grasp is not a good item because Xerath is an AoE mage, and so forcing yourself to be close to your enemies to nuke ONE of them is also a bad idea.
