Only if the xerath is good or you are a scrub (Or if Xerath just hard counter you in particular, while both being good)
Im not saying Xerath isnt bad (I own him and have rape face with him), im just saying that the player behind him must be good for him to be optimal.
Lol Irony? How do you beat xerath in lane?

1. Try not to line yourself up with him and your minions. Make him choose between using Q to last hit/farm, and using Q to harass you. Do your best to make those different actions. You'll tend to take less damage this way.
2. Being a pusher such as Morgana is very powerful. Xerath's ability to last hit at turret is not very strong, nor is his ability to stop pushes at early levels. Up until level 6, keeping him at his turret while still watching for jungle ganks may be your best course of action.
3. Go buy items once he hits level 6. Get a Null Magic Mantle if you have to. Just whatever you do, don't be full glass cannon against him when he has his ultimate. If the dude has Sorcerer's Shoes, there's a good chance you'll flat out die to his full combo. Get some MR or at least be full health with a Catalyst.
