Are you just going to leave Azir like this?

I picked him up a couple of patches before his gutting and I really loved his kit. He was too strong I agree and some nerfs were justified. Still he had bad matchups and completely gutting every aspect of his kit makes him just medicore as a midlaner. He loses a tonne of matchups now and even ones he should win in theory are much tougher then they should be. This is also due in part to the bugs still in his kit which makes trading with soldiers very iffy.

He's sub-40% winrate with a low pickrate, not even his mains can play him now. And as much as I love his kit I respect my team enough not to pick him and make it a 4v5.

You realize what mediocre means, right? It means average, middle of the road, anyone can do better/worse.

There need to be more mediocre champs, not less. That'd mean we'd actually have balance.

But back to the point, laning against azir is a nightmare, but they range wasn't the issue, it's the scaling on the soldier's attack damage. Azir shouldn't be able to poke and farm without any semblance of risk. He's currently a mage form of Zed, except with multiple shadows that work off of AAs.
