The only problem with Azir is that he is unable to build AD without becoming completely ineffective, which is something that all marksmans rely on to grant a large damage boost to their auto attacks. Because he has to build AP, the only way he can have any damage output is by using his soldiers. Since the ability to move the soldiers is limited because of cooldowns (especially early game), I can see him getting counteracted rather easily in bot lane. Once Azir throws his soldiers, the opponents can just step out of the way and continue auto attacking while both his W and Q are on cooldown, rendering him pretty much useless in terms of damage. Since Azir has no AD to boost his auto attack damage, he will be forced to retreat. I have a feeling that unless the player has mastered him, having him in the ADC role (or APC in this case, really) is not a good idea. Of course it is situational, but I personally think that he'll be a better mid, top, support, or even jungler depending on the changes they do to him before release.
