At least you can still play the game against Lee. Azir makes it so you can't do anything except try to cs under tower while avoiding his soldiers. Even when Lee was pick ban after the Lee, Elise, Vi phase there were a decent amount of champions that could still be played in the jungle. Azir turns it into Azir vs whoever goes even with Azir meta

Viktor, Cass, Varus, Liss, Karma, TF, Ryze, Vlad with Azir meta.

Not only Azir.You're hypocrite.

Meanwhile we see Sivir, Jhin and Ashe every game.Nice adc meta.

Only 3 strong adcs.Nice adc diversity.Nice meta!

I never said it was Azir meta right now. When he is strong that's basically what it turns into because nobody else can match his laning phase when he's powerful.

Really? Varus, Viktor, Ryze, Lb, Zed, Karma, Lissandra?

You aren't playing this game I'm sure.

You can still play the game against Lee. It's not like he takes all of your farm and makes it so you can never do anything at all like Azir does. Both Azir and Lee have constant pressure on you but Azir's is oppressive and has no counterplay when he's strong. I'm not saying Lee was a problem I'm just saying Azir is far, far worse.

I'm tired your oppressive excuses.Your only excuse.Oppressive and has no counterplay?

Do you know counterplay? No. You don't know counterplay.Azir has tons of counterplay.

I'm explaining counterplay. High range champions like Vel'koz, Xerath, Lux, Varus.

Assassins like Ahri, Lb, Talon, Zed.

Twisted Fate, Lissandra early game pressure and roam.Azir can not easily roam.

High range champions like Vel'koz, Xerath, Lux, Varus.

This is not counterplay. Those are counterpicks. They aren't even half as bad as counterpicks other champions get, and obviously you won't get 5 artilleries in a team. Azir will still make sure 4 players on enemy team are not playing League of Legends.

Assassins like Ahri, Lb, Talon, Zed.

And those don't even work. As far as mages go Azir is one of the most difficult to assassinate.

Twisted Fate, Lissandra early game pressure and roam.Azir can not easily roam.

Azir can take all routes Liss can, and some routes she can't go. On top of that, he is one of biggest turret threats among midlaners, so roaming against him is usually a bad idea in a first place. Sure, some players do it, but mostly because there's nothing they can ever achieve by staying in lane with him.

High range champions are counterplay.Moreover Vel'koz is the best counterpick for Azir.You don't know counterplay against Azir, Azir can do your sentence.

Assassins work against Azir.You don't know counterplay.

You follow Azir's cds and his skills.You should do all in after he used his Q skill.Azir is vulnerable after his Q skill.

Azir's early game is so weak and he can not push minion wave.Lissandra can roam easily.Roaming is good idea against Azir.Azir needs Rylai and three items at least.Moreover Lissandra can take TP but Azir?

He must got cleanse.Azir can not get Tp or Ignite.Azir gets cleanse against Lissandra or TF.

But Tf's ult, Lissandra's Teleport is enough for roaming.

Did you learn counterplay?

Because Lee was prioritized because of his early game strength. Lee does fall off though. Azir on the other hand is strong early and an absolute monster lategame. Azir also burns turrets and neutral monsters insanely fast which is a pretty big deal at that level of play. We just have to get through the Worlds patch then maybe he can see some love. Gotta admit I would rather see some more champion diversity at Worlds this year

I'm saying.Riot hates Azir.They don't like Azir and his main players.

They nerf Azir according to Bjergsen or Faker.Ridiculous.

Meanwhile do you know Bard's ban rate at EU LCS? 35% ban rate.

Riot where is Bard nerf?

Sivir every game Riot where is Sivir nerf?

Because same champions every game.Especially Sivir and Ashe.

blfUvZ8Ybu1 votes

They are Azir hater.They are liar.They don't see Cass, Vlad, Viktor, Ryze, TF, Varus, Lissandra, Ryze, Karma.

You can see other champions for Worlds but you can not see Azir and his counters.

You don't teach Azir to me.I know Azir's weaknesses, his counterplays, almost everything.

OxyPoro1 votes

No, they nerfed Azir because his laning phase was too strong and uninteractive AF (his lategame has more or less been untouched the only difference is that he'll actually have to put in work to get there), it's literally him just throwing practically undodgable skills at you from very long range until you either lose your mind or he messes up opening himself up to get ganked. His kit is toxic AF and ridiculously strong in competent hands, if that means he will have to be garbage in low-skilled players hands and a niché pick to be somewhat balanced then I welcome that Riot decision.
