Azir is nowhere near a dictator or like Hitler. Just peeking at his lore you can see this. And yes he did have slaves, but this was the law of the empire he was born into and not his choice. And Azir during his rule brought Shurima to its peak and at that peak he planned to ascend, only to be betrayed and killed. But right before the betrayal during his grand ascension speech he freed all slaves. This alone shows that Azir, especially with his new power, would not try and enslave all current Shurimans, though having an Emperor like personality he may try to unite/bring them all together under his leadership, which they may not like. If Taliyah actually got to talk to Azir she could probably see him as a friend. Which is the way I see her lore going, but if RIOT wants her as a rival to Azir, some misunderstandings like the rumor he will enslave everyone will keep it that way
