Every single one of Xerath's abilities has more range than that, with the longest being more than five times as far.
The longest is an ultimate with a high cooldown, Shyvana's is her E on her dragon form that has no cooldown and is limited by fury she can generate by hitting anything
Not only that, but he doesn't have to fill a fixed resource bar by auto attacking just for one ability to deal reasonable damage.
No, because he instead has a mana pool that he can drain pretty damn quick early game, and needs items to fill it, Shyv just has to fight.
When he's fed, Xerath's ultimate base damage alone, not even counting the AP scaling, deals enough damage to kill a target from 5600 units away.
You're bringing up range again on an ultimate ability that he can miss, especially since his ult doesn't grand vision of the whole area. Shyvana can see in front of her.
Don't call a champion overpowered just because you don't ward.
What does warding have to do with anything about her damage?
