Champions don't need their whole kit to leverage one strength. Xerath has a boring mana restore passive that becomes negigible later so that he has to take a risk and go in on a regular basis - instead of the tradeoff being a damage loss, it's a trade for mana. Essentially the passive is actually there to create a weakness because a constant long range barrage is horrendously toxic to play against.
