When are we going to see Azir fixes that are meaningful?

These recent buffs are just not there for him. Minor attack speed buff and soldier attack range? The attack range is kinda nice, but that was it that I could feel. If you don't want his poke being destructive, that's fine. Can you make his mid-late game horrifying then? It's not unless you're far ahead. +1 soldier charge at rank 2 and rank 3 ult? So 4 soldier charges at rank 3 ultimate? Reduce the CD on his passive or make it deal more damage at higher levels, it's pitiful at higher levels.

Azir has a neat concept, but the numbers aren't there, and if you're not going to buff the numbers, give him something else. He's a high skill cap character, with low reward. That shouldn't be how this works. If you look at Malzahar, he has a much higher win rate, with a much more simple and easier kit to play. Malzahar probably always will be my best character, but not my favorite. His kit consists of one skill shot. And it's not even relatively hard to hit. Granted Azir's q isn't, but it has more uses than 1. My point is, why is Malzahar, a much easier character, much stronger than Azir? Both in organized and solo queue?

Azir is strong yes, but put him against any other mid champ at the moment, and it's just pathetic. He needs compensation. I've always dealt with a weak laning phase on him, weaker than others that is, but does his late game have to suffer too?

I'm sure I'm missing key points and not all will agree, but again. Why is a high skill cap character not rewarded as such? Syndra is, so is Orianna, and Yasuo. Azir is just the step child. I won't make any comments on Bard because that's a support role and he's a very different concept.
