@Riot How would've Azir looked like if you had taken the other path with his rework?
I eventually learned to be full with Azir's rework even though it is not what I hoped for at first, and I'm pretty happy with how he turned out to be at the end.
Now with that out of my mind.. I am pretty sure that the other rework path you had in mind was to keep his range but completely rework his E and R, turning him into an absolute artillery mage with no safety or mobility (Ziggs, Xerath, etc...)
What did you have in mind for him when you worked on his rework? I would love to know that, as I'm very interested to know how Azir would've looked like with a kit that fits his theme (An emperor who stands far back and commands his army to do the job for him)
