Why are we mad at Azir nerfs while also mad about Champion Diversity in the Pro scene?

I'm a bit confused why people are simultaneously mad that Azir got nerfed, yet also mad that there is no champion diversity in competitive play. Azir is pick/ban in competitive play, so they nerfed him to improve champion diversity at worlds (which will be played on next patch). So I'm not sure how we can be mad about both when they're actively trying to fix one.

So which side are you on? Mad at the Azir nerfs? Or mad about champion diversity? You can't be mad about both.

If anything, people who complain about Azir are usually different people who complain about champion diversity in pro scenes.

So in the end you see a hodgepodge of whiny players as a whole.

because the nerfs are most likely not gonna push him out of the LCS. They're gonna pick him and afk-farm for 20 minutes until he goes online in the late-game. Right now they just trashed soloqueu Azir players for LC$ big play$. Check his winrates and what pros had to say about him, some of the best Azir players in the world dropped him saying he's trash in soloqueu after all his nerfs (46% winrates, 50% winrate with mains). This patch hit the nail in his coffin, and he has winrates going down to 30%.

Thanks Riot.
