What do all of these abilities have in common? If you guessed - they all go through Azir wall during the animation, you'd be correct!

And I don't mean their dash dodges it, I mean if I ult and they dash through, my ult will pass through them. Not 100% of the time, but enough to be extraordinarily aggravating because I don't know if my ultimate ability will work when I need it to.

Other than this major bug (feature?) there's been two other major issues I've found with Azir; sometimes when you E Q over walls and slide a good distance, Azir's animation will get stuck in a slow motion cycle for a second, of what I believe to be the beginning of his E animation. The other issue is that at times, if you auto a minion as a soldier dies, the animations get super, super fucked up. Because there's no animation for a soldier attacking while disappearing, the soldier will attack, and then depending on how long it's been attacking during it's attack animation, instantly collapse into a pile of sand, which is super distracting AND misleading (for the enemy, the sound effect of the soldier dying still runs as normal)

I like how some champions get hotfixes days or hours after a patch messes things up but these obvious mistakes which are no doubt recorded, aren't touched for... Well, since release. Over four years.

And yes, I main Azir. Often people's threads on their mains will show enormous bias towards their champion and even be inaccurate on their assessments of a champion's flaws, however nothing in my post highlights how weak he is in the meta right now. This is just a post pointing out all the obvious mistakes that are in Azir's kit that riot glosses over, patch after patch.

And please, if you know of any issues with Azir's kit or any bugs that you've seen, post them below. I'm curious to see what else can be broken on this poor champ.

Something I've personally noticed about the interaction between the wall and Ahri's R is that being interrupted by the wall's cast time mid-dash can either refund the first dash (giving her basically four) or just get her stuck in the wall's model and being unable to move (this happened a while ago and I'm not sure if it is entirely accurate or specific to where I physically was when it happened).

Even though some champions need to be pretty bad for the sake of professional play, that's no excuse for Riot to just ignore the bugs that make them even worse.

Really ? from my experience as an Ahri main if Azir Ults in the animation , the Dash gets cancelled , not Azir Ult , all knock ups and stuns can interrupt her ult
