[GAMEPLAY] Azir Ult Bug (Goes Through Enemy Targets)
I'm not sure why this bug hasn't received more reports on the boards, considering I have seen it not only while I have played Azir, but have seen it in several games from other players. The bug first appeared after Azir's shield knockup was removed/W attack speed was adjusted in the patch. I would imagine that this patch has something to do with this bug, considering I did not have any issues playing Azir before the patch.
The bug is a huge problem that is affecting Azir's ultimate, in which there is a random chance (?) that it will go through champions of the opposing team, resulting in no damage and no CC knockback. The champion/s that the ult went through just continued to auto attack and or cast abilities. My friends have also seen a more extreme result of this bug, where the ultimate has gone through an entire team of 5 people, and did absolutely nothing (No CC Knockback; No Damage). I cannot tell you any specific reason why this happens when it does or anything that can reproduce it on command, but what I can tell you is that if you play Azir, it will happen at least once in a game. I have had it happen both when I used a slide combo and while standing still.
As you can imagine, this makes playing Azir a huge risk. The chance of having your ult fail to do its job makes him impossible to play reliably. I have neither played or witnessed a single game (After the patch) where Azir's ult did what it was supposed to every time. Please note that in these cases that I am referring to, it was absolutely clear that it went THROUGH the target/s. Those targets did not flash, have CC immunity (Olaf ult, etc.), or otherwise dodge/dash the Azir ult. While I do not have any links to show for this bug, it can be replicated easily enough that I should not have to.
Please take some time to look into this bug. I really enjoy playing Azir, but having been completely frustrated with having my ults go through the enemy targets on such a high frequency, it makes him unplayable. I thought he would have been looked into sooner considering the severity of the bug, but after looking into the boards here and seeing that no one has posted anything regarding this issue, it just seems to me that Azir's newest changes have dissuaded him as a pick regardless of the bug's existence. In any case, I know that it will be addressed sooner or later.
