Xerath usually has a slightly smaller longest killing spree than his opponent does. Commonly, Xerath receives less damage than Nocturne. This often reflects different amounts of tankyness, but it can also show that the champion with more health has less agility and thus is unable to flee from additional harm when engaged or poked.
Xerath commonly tallies a bit more CS than Nocturne. Champions that don't amass many minion kills typically don't require much CS to be useful. They are capable of scaling adequately off their abilities alone. However, champions with plenty of CS, such as hyper-carries, usually require a lot of items to be useful. In either situation, work to pass the averages displayed here to do well.
