Azir Problems

With the meta being so fast paced and snowbally, Azir doesn't have enough time to scale up more often than not. Can we show some love to our scaling champions? I have two thoughts of how to address this. If his W base damage got buffed a bit as it was maxed, it would help him through his mid game struggles so that he won't feel so weak and useless when the game is at its most critical point. Alternatively, his mana costs could be lowered a bit so that he can abuse his poke power in lane better. This way he can have a better fighting chance to earn a big enough lead to mitigate his weak mid game, rewarding players who play lane well by giving them more opportunities to punish their opponents early on with poke. I'll be the first to admit my bias as a frequent Azir player, but he feels unplayably weak right now in solo queue and I think he deserves a little bit of love.
