Azir is trash tier now?

I took a long break from league, because the game was just making me more and more toxic, and I knew I had to calm down, and take a different look at games than normal. Anyway I used to play Azir a lot on another account, and did well if I played good. Now it seems like even if I play Azir damn near perfect, I am horribly reliant on jungle ganks/team now, and my ultimate is literally useless vs dash champions. What good is a wall that doesn't block dashes vs an Akali, or Irelia? I normally ban Irelia since she is aids, but a good Zed is arguably much worse, so I switched to banning Zed. Insecing with Azir's new ultimate is suicide as they will just all flash or dash the wall, and slaughter you, even with hourglass. I'm thinking about abandoning Azir all together, and picking another aoe champ mid, but I've already invested over 200 games into Azir in total. What do you guy's think? Maby I am building wrong? Playing Azir just feels hopeless, and sometimes the support even out damages me, if I have a bad lane opponent I can't poke like Irelia. I've gotten really good at manipulating the wave, and freezing, but normally I get no ganks even when farming under tower for 5 minutes straight, Because Irelia will just jump away I can't gank sorry!, or Akali can just shroud out is what my jungler tells me most of the time, even though I can e q ult her back.

Try Hail of Blades Azir. It gives you good poke early so you don't feel too reliant on jungle early as you can measure up to your laner. Regarding ult, it's very situational but turret plating helps. The towers are alive for a bit longer now, so you can punish hard pushers much better. Sadly you'll need to sacrifice manaflow band if you go hail of blades azir. I recommend secondary be precision so you can take presence of mind and alacrity.
