Azir should've had AP converted into bonus Attack Speed instead of CDR to bonus Attack Speed
For example, he buys 100 AP. Lets say like 40% gets converted into Attack Speed.
He gains 60 AP and 40% AS instead of 100 AP.
Buy power and trade it for a different type of power, rather than a utility stat like CDR being directly linked to power. He barely gets any bonus from his CDR and has to have an abnormally low AS stat just because of it. If he had to actually give up having a lot of AP because it always turned into Attack Speed, it would create a much different feeling for the fallen emperor of the sands rather than "yeah buy utility and you get a little bit of AS so yeah"
