Azir needs a buff, not a big one, just a buff.

I recently bought Azir, thinking he was one of the coolest champions ive seen His voiceover is amazing, his animation are sick, good emote, etc. The only problem is no matter how hard I try, hes nere impossible to play early game. He can defend, but he has no attacks for attacking close range enemies or even going offensive. Im hoping that he can get a buff just to make him more usable. My idea is...

-Bring back the infinite Soilders thing. u can get 3-4 Units with that, and now you lucky to get 2 at a time. but for each additional one u add, hav e it cost more mana. 1st is 40, 2nd is 60, 3rd is 80, etc. It makes it easier to defend himself when he has more troops.

-Partially lower the cooldown of his E. Its his only attack that can let him run from battle, and it has a notably long cooldown. if its down, it is impossible to avoid death unless u waste your ult, and even then your lucky to live.

-Improve the attack range of Soilders. This is his main form of damage, but its, due to his its low range, only usable if an enemy walks into it, or u spawn it on top of them.

I feel there can be other additions, but these are the ones I feel will help him most. What do you think of Azir, and have any ideas how he can be buffed? or Are you fine with how he is?
