Now that Ziggs is finally popular - let me repeat myself

How is it ok to gutt one champion that does everything exeptionally good: DPS, burst, zoning, siege, pushing, range and has some good mobility and CC (everybody should now know exactly who am I talking about ), but keeping the other champion which is even not limited by a high skill floor and which does some of these things even better (push, range)?

Don't get me wrong, I get that Riot thinks Azir has a toxic kit that can't be balanced properly, but Ziggs doesn't, he's also little bit overperforming compared to his pickrate (especially in the ADC role, but that's the last problem I've got with him) (Source: op.gg) and sees no nerfs? I don't get it.

Ziggs' DPS falls off pretty hard against anyone with MR late game.

Azir's did not.

I'd argue that azir zones way better than ziggs. Also as you took time to note ziggs only does some of the things azir could. Azir still can engage, push away and wall off melees, and his harass tool also zoned you especially if you were melee. Not saying ziggs is good but you cant compare any mage to azir when he was strong. He was almost a perfect champion.

Ziggs can easily engage with his R
Ziggs doesn't need the peel because his poke is so absurd he hasn't any interest to get even to midrange with melees
Ziggs still has his W to knock back
Azir's zoning is better, agreed

Both do some things better and some worse, but overall they both do all off those things too good. Azir's problem is in his kit, Ziggs' in his numbers.
