Give me one reason to pick Cassiopeia over Azir. Prior to the rework, she at least had some base damage, and noteworthy enough damage on her Q and W to keep her relevant even when she wasn't in the middle of the fight. She had a decent early game, strong mid game, and a late game that shifts into kiting around teamfights. Her late game still focuses on kiting around teamfights, but early game and mid game... don't go smoothly.

Azir has:

1. Less reliance on hard-to-land-skillshots

2. Higher late-game DPS in an AOE

3. Longer effective range

4. An escape

5. Another escape / super strong teamfight controller.

6. Passive that's useful as a stat stick AND doing something interesting.

7. Less mana problems.

8. MUCH stronger pushing power

9. Much better lane zoning and bullying power

10. Reaches late game damage sooner and more reliably.

The only reason to ever pick Cassiopeia now is if Azir is banned or picked by the enemy team, and she's too risky to pick against anything but Jungle Mordekaiser and Ashe mid (still seems a bit risky).
