Let me rephrase that. I mean for his kit in particular. Yes, there are other dps and non-aa based champs without attack speed, but they have a mechanic or some other trait that makes them dps. Cassiopeia is poison and low cd twin fang. Karthus is low cd lay waste. Aurelion sol is rotating stars. Illaoi is constant tentacle smashing. Fiddle is bouncing dark wind, drain, and ulti. And Ryze is low cd everything. Also, I'm not sure where yur getting the idea that Jhin has dps, cuz he's more burst than anything. And Kat is more burst than anything, too. Just because ulti deals ap dps doesn't mean the champ itself is a dps. Azir needs attack speed because the majority of his damage depends on his soldiers, who attack based on his own attack speed. And the problem is, there arent many ap item options for attack speed. Nashors is pretty much one of the only good options. Thus, he needs the passive attack speed to make up for that fact. Take away his passive attack speed, and we land ourselves right back at my argument: the fact that he needs the passive attack speed to do relevant damage.
