Okay so this week is Azir and Gnar free week and I don't understand why people are banning them. Is it because there's two types of these players?
Azir is honestly broken as fuck. Deal a crazy amount of damage while being safe. I hate that champ lol. Gnar can at least be beaten.
Okay so this week is Azir and Gnar free week and I don't understand why people are banning them. Is it because there's two types of these players?
- Played them since release and will dominate any lane with them easy or
- First time players who rush Tri-force and BOTRK on Gnar and build Nashors on Azir
build Nashors on Azir
I was under the impression that Nashor's Tooth was gold efficient on Azir despite not benefitting from the on-hit simply because of the stats it gives you.
Azir: Can great damage, poke and wave clear. CAN poke you down at turret with extreme safety. Now that he's not a bugged mess he's actually good. But takes alot of skill and effort to play
Gnar: He fits in with the ranged top lane/2nd middle lane meta right now. His mini form has poke %percent health damage, a speed boost and a slow. His mega form is CC galore need i say more?
people have been spam banning azir on me even when he isnt free. its sad because i love playing him but i guess he must be really annoying to play against :[
because they're broken?
Azir is like cass 2.0 lmfao Without the gutted base stats/scaling and a more reliable R with no windup.
They are both nightmares to lane against while also having very strong team fight presence. That's why.
Learning azir atm and I'm not sure whether I prefer double morello or morello+nashor's yet. The extra AS from nashor's is pretty nice, and I don't find I need the mana from morello, so it literally comes down to 20 AP verses 50 AS+620 more gold. My general impression so far is that nashor's is good if you can afford it, but morello makes for a good budget buy.
edit: I almost forgot the original topic, jeez. People ban free week champs they don't want to face all the time. Sometimes they even ban them because they don't want their teammates playing them (and subsequently sucking). Gnar and azir fit into both categories, where people don't want to fight a good one, but also can be difficult to use well, and thus don't want to risk one on their team either.
Because they're two of the strongest champions in the current meta?
It's because they're annoying to play against and OP if the player has any idea wtf they're doing and most people don't account for free week when banning.
