^ the problem is late game, if your team runs after them you're left behind and if 1 enemy decides to take you on there is very little you can do if you don't have your ult ready (and even with ult winning a 1v1 with Xerath is dubious at best against a lot of champs).

Basically late game you have a ton of damage, but you're still so frail that you need someone as a body guard at all times. Something that doesn't happen a lot in soloQ...
