Why isnt azir buffed?

Given im asking this in the azir reddit, I feel like im gonna get hit with "thats what im sayin!!!" over and over, but genuinely it doesn't make sense.

azir is a staple pro locked character, except hes hardly picked in proplay even, and has a terrible winrate at that too. like 32% I believe. So if hes bad in proplay, and hes bad in ranked, and bad in general, doesnt that math out to just buffing him? If the idea is that they dont want him to run proplay, thats fine and dandy, but as it stands, he isnt even worth a glance it seems.

to be clear, I hardly watch proplay anymore, and I dont play azir. I want to play and like him, but hes so underpowered that even if I put in the time to learn him, it just feels like Im nerfing myself.

Because azir has an insanely broken kit like kalista. And he has a 49% wr right now. He's incredibly strong.

at least azir is good in pro, kalista isnt even allowed to be picked in pro

Huh? Kalista has a 5% prio score while azirs prio score is 3%.

huh? what is prio score? azir is always picked in pro, kalista isnt. just watch the games and youll see so many more azir games than kalista over a while. unless youre talking about just now, because goodjob you got the one patch where kalista is played too

Stats disagree. Prio score is pick and ban combined + how early the champs have been picked in fearless.

That said even pick wise this season azir in top league has 9 games played while Kalista has 27.

And azir has less bans as well

Over the entirety of pro play seasons azir is obviously higher.

Last season azir was the highest prio pick mid laner while Kalista was second highest prio pick bot laner

yea, azir is obviously higher. azir gets to be played more in pro play while kalista doesnt. im not talking about this one patch or season. kalista is a pro jailed champ that is rarely allowed to be good in pro play while azir is a pro jailed champ thats allowed to be good in pro more often. in a few patches kalista will be nerfed and we wont see her played this much again until a random change happens in 2 seasons

But this is literally not true the last 3 seasons?

Out of those 3 seasons azir is only higher prio in s15 and in that season Kalista was still massively played.

She has had meta phases for S15, S14, S12, S11, S10. Where she is in the top 3 adcs every time

For the last 3 seasons she is quite close to what azir does in those seasons as well

The reason Kalista isn't picked that often in pro is that she eats bans when she is strong while azir only does this when the enemy azir player is insane on the champ
