Honestly Azir is hard to play in my opinion, but if you put in a lot of effort into him, the results you get are...a little too powerful. What I mean by this is that most mid lane champions can't even dream of pulling off the plays Azir can with his E->Q or E->Q->R. Combine that with the fact that he basically has Cassiopeia-level DPS but can do so safely from longer range, and you've got a champion that is the ideal mid laner when thousands of dollars are on the line.

I support champions rewarding effort and skillful play with power. But I think Azir is a perfect example of a little too much power. The reason they're nerfing him is because they can't rework all the other mages to be on his level. That would be ideal solution, but they go for the quick and easy solutions first. Riot works very slowly in balacing.
