[GAMEPLAY] Azir's ult not fuctioning makes him nearly unplayable.

DownGrade·11/8/2014, 3:27:45 PM·24 votes·2,612 views

I'm just re-iterating the fact that Azir's ult doesn't work on numerous occasions, although I can't figure out exactly how to reproduce it, I feel as if people or are actively in motion (like corki w or Riven e) are able to just pass through the wall as if nothing happened. I feel like double bouncing is much better than having an ult that does literally nothing (that includes doing no damage to the person the wall passes through). It happens at LEAST once a game where I play Azir. I feel like maybe taking him offline until at least this one bug is fixed would be optimal just so I feel like the issue is being handled; I make some in-game decisions based on if I think I can use the wall to separate myself from the enemy and to make strategic decisions with it, so having the ult just completely not work can potentially ruin Azir's gameplay as a whole.

Edit:\ That said, I still play him because he's still fun and I value fun a little more than winning, but having an ult that doesn't work the way you think it should makes it a little less fun. ^^;

You know the Riven Riven third q to jump and knock up enemies? I did it as Azir Azir ulted me, and I just jumped over it... I proceeded to kill him seconds after that. Riot, plz fix ult bug and disable Azir until the ult bug is fixed, I haven't played Azir yet, but I can imagine this would be. very. FRUSTRATING!!!!

Azir's soldiers need shield wall training.

Just did an Aram with Azir, out of everytime I used ult it worked a grand total of zero times. Its lucky he is very good in the close quarters map, at the end of the game its like "I shouldnt even bother wasting mana for the damn ult" because it never once worked, I ulted 3 enemies WALKING to me, it passed through them all, and they jumped me.

It was stupid as hell.

I know that if an enemy is standing directly where you are, your ult will have no effect on him. I've lost a ranked because of that. -_-

Has Riot still not done anything about this? I've been seeing this bug posted everywhere for several days now... Does it take that long to respond to a game breaking bug in your only game?

As someone who plays Azir frequently, I con not stress enough how frustrating this is. We rely on the ult working, and I keep getting wrecked because of it.

I tried to all in an enemy TF with my ult in a normal game, W-Q-E-R Ignite then W again to beat on him, wall went right through him no knock back, no damage. He pick a carded and killed me on the spot after flashing closer to his turret to get away from my soldier. I asked him if he noticed passing right through my wall to which he answered that he flashed over the cast...

Server lag or buggy ult either way it needs to be fixed PRONTO

From what I have seen, it doesn't work if they are running towards you...which is 95% of the time.

When i ult right before i die, the skill icon will not go on cd, but in fact it's on cd and you can't cast it, this is so annoying

Riot's probably super aware of this bug existing already, it just takes time to fix. I can only imagine a bug as big as this is probably a very complicated one to find and fix for all the different situations where it could occur.

People just laugh at me... its like.. rengar walked directly through..

This happened to me like three times in one game.

I've played 3 games with him since the patch. His ult has worked properly maybe 3 times out of 20. I'd have to go into a custom game, but it seems that the only way it deals damage, or knocks back, is if you hit someone with it directly. Otherwise it completely bypasses people, and deals zero damage. Once the wall is out, it does properly block people.

yeah… i was playing against a enemy azir and i was pantheon and i just walked right through his ult and killed him with ignite, but before he died i tried to W him and i bounced back to his ult wall…definitely buggy

I just played a game where my ult literally did nothing the entire game in every instance. No knockback, no blocking, no damage. Enemies could pass through it, movespeed still affected allies (not that it does anything when you can't stop people from chasing you). First I thought maybe Shen has dashed through it and maybe had a bug afflicting it, then as the game went on I realised that it wasn't even terrain. Removes a giant slice of his kit, doesn't make him nearly unplayable, he basically is unplayable. Azir has been plagued with the most bugs I've ever seen that made it through PBE and still not taken care of. Cmon Riot. I know end of season is close and you got alot on your plate, but you can't just sweep this crap under the rug until you feel like getting around to it. :/

It's weird, like if they're walking slow enough or hit a certain part of the wall, some will pass through or others wouldn't. -_- But thanks for adding in your own input everyone! :) I hope this'll grab Riot's attention ^^
