Azir buff or rework?

HOT BEEF ·Jul 25, 2016·1 votes·2,743 views

Azir used to be a strong champion and a good champion for competitive play. Azir has been nerfed over many patches. He has one of the lowest win rates in the game sitting at 41% according to champion.gg he has almost one of the 2nd lowest win rates in the entire game. The nerfs don't seem that big individually but when you add them all together Azir is just a week bird atm and needs a buff or he might need a rework and maybe still keep his high level cap but still keep the shurima shuffle cause this is the ability that makes azir fun to play.

He's getting a small rework. Either he keeps his range and loses the shuffle, or he keeps the shuffle but loses his range.

He's still the most absurd champion to play against since his release. The only time azir was ever a weak champion was whenever he had a million bugs wrong with him making him unplayable.

His winrate is affected by his high skill cap, anybody below diamond struggle player azir 80% of the time dragging his winrate down. Saying azir is weak is like saying nidalee is balanced based on win/r.

Offcourse he is absurd. I was gold when i got rly good with him and i boosted myself 4 devisions with him :D ... but right now he is strongly underpowered. He need some buffs/rework

Taking his winrate across all skills of play is a terrible way of gauging his power mainly because, figuratively, his power exponentially gets stronger the higher your skill is. You could have Azir players in Plat + having an okay time playing in their League but Azir players in Silver and below are having a hard time because of how mechanically demanding Azir is. This ignores smurfs of course.

his winrate is crap in all Elos, and amongst all players, no matter how experienced they are with him. He is very un-rewarding for a high skill champ.

He may get a small rework, I wouldn't mind too much if I couldn't shuffle anymoreas long as I have the range.

I personallly think that they should make him into a mid range battle mage. That just seems cooler than the bird we have now. In addition, since he's tankier, he'll be easier for noobs to pick up.

I have a genious idea! They should steal his mobility or take away his self peel. That way he will be pretty much the same but he will have weaknesses and he could finaly get some buffs to his dmg :D . We (azir mains) dont want him to get easyer or to take away his teamfighting and long range poke...

I picked up Azir before the nerfs, but stopped playing him after I found that it would be better to invest my time into other champs. I personally think they should keep his shuffle in favor of less range. However, any part that they decide to remove is going to alienate at least part of his playerbase. It may be easier to replace his ult with something else, but then something Iconic to Azir gets completely removed from his kit.
