Azir Mains Against Azir Nerfs on PBE, and why the nerfs ruin Azir OFFICIAL PETITION

I was recently alerted to the Azir changes just put onto the pbe by a fan on youtube. As soon as I saw the changes they made to his E I was awestruck. With the removal of the knockup, drifting into Azirsec without a flank is near impossible. As if Azir's lane phase against melee assassins and high damage threats wasn't bad enough, now the shield is removed and the knockup along with it, Taking away a very high amount of trading and outplay potential. I have already shared these changes with other Azir mains who also can't believe that these nerfs are actually considered by riot's balance team. I'd like to see these changes reverted by the next pbe patch or we'll see a rapid decline in the diversity of highly mechanical Azir mains, giving way to a safe poke style with no real all in threat in the lane phase.
