Will Riot Nerf Azir even more?
Azir has been nerfed 5 times before, and im trying to main a good champion, so I was just wondering if riot would nerf azir again. I hope not though.

Nerf Azir? I sure do hope so.
Yes they will nerf him some more. When? Not too sure. Probably in a few patches. The gap between a newish Azir and an Azir who has hundreds of games (and is high elo) is too large, so Riot are forced into a difficult position. Either they allow his top win rate to be extraordinarily high and game warping or they balance around his top end and make people picking him up lose all the time.
I feel like azir is kinda broken... A 0/7 azir got me from 60-0 in about two soldier attacks. Even tilting them doesn't help. The sand will get in your eyes and kill you.
because hes picked in nearly every match in lcs. also viktor will probably get nerfed too. so will trundle.
They will definitely nerf azir again
Azir has no burst unless he gets fed and he gets into the lategame with tons of AP, and even that point its still not true burst, if you want a definition of burst, watch an LB delete a squishy with less than 3 full items in her inventory
Counterplay against Azir exists, cooldowns, mana, a generally weak early game (if you're not smart enough to move out of the soldiers when they hit you, simply buy one of the following: negatron cloak or hexdrinker, you will shut down his damage through the laning phase) squishiness, among other things
He's a DPS mage. That's not absurd or insane. It's uniqueness. There's many champs with extremely different and unique kits that make them stand out in the game. Azir is'n the only one
I think his nerfs are enough and he's in a good spot now, I thought they would bandage him for his ult nerfs but I guess with all this clamoring (comparable to the kids ranting about zed around the boards) might lead to him gutted into sejuani-tier.
Just a kind note, his winrate is 46% currently, against some other midlaners, such as Anivia he has 43% winrate, inb4 "High elo he's op" his winrate drops the higher he goes in elo, he's 45% wr in damonds+, his winrate with 125 games+ is scraping 51%, the only frustrating thing about Azir currently is the dumbassery exhibited by people who still want him nerfed when he's getting rework-level nerfs everytime he goes into the PBE. He had 90%-ish presence rate in MSI but right now his presence rate dropped to the 70s %. He's hardly pick or ban and he's hardly auto-win (infact he's on the losing side looking at his winrates)
If Riot nerf Azir they should nerf Liss, Sivir, Zilean etc.So if they nerf Azir that be double standard.
He's the tank Ekko of mid lane. He's gonna keep getting nerfed before he's finally not good
