Likely but not surely. We do have higher AS, lower cost, lower recast time and most importantly lower recharge time, and poking with Soldiers' attacks will be easier now that their damage to secondary targets gets only reduced on minions. It looks like a shift from burst to more sustained damage but I don't play Azir (gonna be my next purchase though) so I don't really know if those changes will be able so compensate the lower duration.

It does aid Azir in short trades though he's losing a lot of zoning power.
