Reason 1. He was too dominant in competitive play. 40% win rate is too dominant?
Reason 2. He dictates the meta and forces the opponent into picks that can handle him in lane. Funny because when Azir is banned these same champions are picked anyway.
In summary the reasons for this nerf are total bullshit.
EffectFX3 voteswinrate is not the only metric for measuring a champion strength.
Shadow Gilgamesh3 votesI DID find it really funny that they were like "we're nerfing azir because we were seeing that the only way people were countering him was picking certain champs or being forced to buy specific items" while counterpicking 
has been how to deal with her for YEARS and "just rush 
" was the answer to 
for SO damn long.

Or, you know, he was banned most games and when he wasn't banned the enemy team had a counter strategy designed to beat Azir?

Maybe because, uh , the enemy team prepared their scrims with Azir as part of the meta so they only practice the champs that beat him? Nobody likes to be forced to ban something every game, it reduces the number of bans you have for other things.
