Azir Q Range

Does anyone else think that Azir's Q range should be increased. He is supposed to be a champion that can bully in lane from afar. However in order for him to do so he has to go right up to the minion line every 8 seconds so he can get his soldiers anywhere close to his lane opponent. Also during team fights he has to go to the front lines to position his soldiers. I think this defeats the range of his soldiers. If he has to go right up to the enemy to put them down in a good area, then he is an easy target for about 3-4 seconds. In my opinion this is the main thing keeping Azir down right now. I wanted to know if anyone else thought this cause I find it a large problem at the moment. Other than the bugs that is, but enough people are talking about that.
