Xerath enjoyed a fair amount of competitive play before the tank meta. As the meta changed, people kinda abandon him a bit. Xerath is still a very solid poking pick. He's strong all game long and have the best burst among poking heavy champions. However, some other champs (Jayce, Kog, Varus) tend to scale better into late game, and also deal with tank more effectively, which kinda explain why pros favor them for now.
