Do remember to take into account the learning curve, though. It takes a long time to learn how to play Azir competently (especially after the nerfs). I think the win rates would be skewed by people who don't really understand him playing him for a few games before giving up. thHe is still viable (alhtough not OP) - but you need to know him really well.
He feels really bad to play and it often feels like I have to rely on towers to even think of winning trades. Hence the ult them into turret range gimmick. It works a few times until they realize this is the only way I can kill them. Then they just stay away from my soldiers with 325 auto range and I have 0 ways to kill them without jungler help. There's 0 kill pressure if I'm more than 1/3 up the lane without my turret to ult them into and they know this.
Also, if you miss your Q onto an ADC, that ADC will just auto you to death and you have 0 ways to fight back until your Q is back up so you can reposition that soldier correctly. In this time the ADC will have his dash mechanic again (good luck dueling a kalista buddy) and just get out of soldier range again. (usually if this is mid to late game, I die from 2 crits before my Q is back up anyways)
Ult into turrets is the only real way of securing kills and it seems really situational and imo not fun. I don't feel like I'm strong, just relying on enemies to position themselves in a bad spot.
If they want him to be a DPS mage relying on soldier positioning then they need to give him leeway on his base stats and innate tankiness. Give him more HP and armor. He is way too squishy to be sitting there autoing and unlike an ADC he is way less forgiving if you miss a skillshot.
If they want him to be a burst mage then fine leave him squishy, but give him back his burst then.
Syndra welcomes him to the over nerfed club. A place that wouldn't exist if Riot had even the slightest understanding of champion balance.
