Some better examples could be Ryze, Veigar, Cassiopeia, Brand, and Karthus. Karthus has a ~0.5s delay on his Q, for example. Azir's Q does have a travel time when his soldiers have to travel a large distance, but the travel time is negligible when he's using a W-Q directly at you in lane. Summoning a soldier at 450 range means it really only needs to travel 400 range. The slow and persistent damage through auto attacks also makes it very difficult to trade back. None of the other mages I listed have a slow built into their primary spell.
