Its that theres a delay in his spells, but theres no significant positive benefit from it.

Brand can fire pillar and fireball for about -200/300 of Xeraph's range without the need for a delay AND immobilize. Same goes for Tibbers, Gragas, Veigar, Lux, Morgana. Bear in mind all of these people have a delay in their spells activating, but the caster itself is not stuck channeling, Xeraph has channeling on all his spells besides E.

His damage isn't higher than what other casters have. I wouldn't mind an immobilize, I wouldn't mind a delay, but not both of them in the same package without expecting some big favor in return because at best the pros and the cons break even and just remains mediocre, and this is at best meaning on a regular basis he won't perform as well as the more mobile people.
