Why are people so eager for Azir buffs?

Do you people not remember that Azir, when in meta, is one of the most degenerate champions in the game? Who can clear entire waves with ease at nearly no mana cost, who out ranges every other mage in the game while outputting as much dps as an adc?

Its not just Azir.. its Kalista, Aatrox etc.. no champion deserves to be shoved into the gutter with a 30-42% winrate just because riot gives up on a solution.

I remember those times and I STILL want Azir buffs, I also want Kalista buffs, yes what your saying is true, however Azir and Kalista rn are un-playable, you need to master them to do the same as someone else with less effort, Why pick Azir over any other mage right now, you dont, Azir is played purely because he is fun, however Azir (and all champions) should be played because they are good, and fun for and against, Azir and Kalista are on very thin lines, however with the recent changes I think azir is getting to a decently balanced state.

Because some of us actually enjoy playing Azir at a level that is rewarding.

No, I don't remember those times. 1-2 weeks after his release? Maybe, almost every single champion is like that and he was buggy as hell. As for win-rate don't remember him having more than 48%, really.

What I do remember is Vayne, Lee, Ivern, Hecarim, Viktor. Hell, I even saw a thread "buff Fizz plz". They were OP once, so they should be useless now, right? (Btw. no, Azir wasn't that OP) Ivern has highest win rate now. He should be nerfed to the point where he has low player base with less than 45% win rate, right? Because, that's pretty much what you're trying to say.

Azir is hard to balance, I know, we all know. That doesn't mean that he will be getting nerfs for the rest of his existence.

Yes. They don't remember. They see him as weak now and when a champion you like is weak you ask for buffs.

His laning is the same as before, but he has garbage midgame.

The game is a lot different from back then. Since then Azir also lost a bit of his extras off his kit with a tower as strong as current towers (and we all are seeing people say how useful those are). He's pretty much less overloaded than Camille is currently.
