Every time I see an azir in my games, they always build stupid crap like nashors tooth, rod of ages, abyssal scepter and other crap. Why is it not clear enough to them that you DONT buy those items? they arent even in the recommended items tab..
Serevas1 votesPeople are experimenting again now though due to the passive losing it's attack speed, I know it was added back through the sand soldiers, but I don't believe it was fully replaced.
Nashor's Tooth builds are actually becoming more popular, to the degree that it's almost exclusively what's built in high elo.
Morgy Morgy1 votesmax ranked soldiers give 50% attack speed, which is the same amount as nashors tooth. I dont know why you would want to build it when you can go normal ap mage build.
Serevas1 votesI'm largely uncertain of why it's taking higher priority, maybe because people are more interested in getting out more and more attacks with the bonus attack speed, as your soldiers do benefit from 100% of your own attack speed, but I almost feel like the Nashor's passive is largely wasted.
Let me put it to you this way though, Fenix and a number of other pros are building it almost exclusively, there's got to be some merit to it.
