RIP in peace Azir

Soon you will be joining Syndra having the lowest win rate in the game.

"Enhancing Azir's end-game effectiveness goes well with our intended goals for the sand mage"

So why exactly is there no ratio buff to compensate for his massive 50 base damage reduction?

A ratio increase of just 5% would have given him 30 more damage on his Q at 600 AP. This would still be a nerf and would still have impacted his bullying and laning in the same manner while preserving his strong late game.

It was really weird wording. You can't speak about "enhancing" something if you don't actually do anything to do that. They could have talked about making his late game more of a focus for him, and nerfing his early does that, but that was a silly choice of phrase...

I imagine his win rate probably will tank, and that's a pity because I think the nerfs are healthy and the problem is just the lack of buffs to compensate. His early game bullying is ludicrous, and so is his burst for someone built around sustained damage. But they've not increased his sustained damage late or anything...

He'll probably get fixed sooner than Syndra if he is unplayable though. None of their designers have called Azir "bullshit"...
