New Azir............ is still oppresive :/

I already know what ur gonna say: "but Doodlzzz, rework Azir has only been out for a few days, you don't know anything... bla bla bla" Maybe I'm not qualified to talk about this since I have only played 2 games vs Azir but still... hear me out lol

I get what Riot was tryna do but this shit is crazy oppressive in all stages of the game.

The thing is, when Azir is in a lane, he gains absolute control, and anyone who dares step near his is instantly treated with a BUTLOAD of damage and death, especially since is dueling power is wayyyy up. Basically, you can't get close to him, ever.

I guess you could say that with less range, he's not as oppressive anymore which is kinda true but he will literally cream on any champ who gets into his gnagbang radius. Champions that don't outrange him honestly don't have a chance of touching him.

His laning was toned down a bit but he's still annoying and great early... His late game (kinda) weakness gets huge buffs and now, he takes over the whole game just with the presence of his soldiers.

Yeah I noticed it to. Before it was wait for his W on CD. Now you can't really do that though because of the CD reduce early and he will just shove you in.

I was playing Lux and I couldn't find any openings other than throw an E at him. I do that and I lose out on pushing the wave which Azir does really well. I'm thinking it'd be similar for all other mages.

It's easy to not fight him but I find it difficult to fight back and stop him from pushing. The Azir I went up against was running 7% CDR level 1 as well. I also really noticed the stab length increase which meant I can't go near minions and the Q CD decrease. The shield he gets is also scary.

It's just too scary to fight him because his all in is really strong.

ahhh I see you are one of those players that only spams Zed and Yasuo. As long as you are using a mid range mage is fine

You shouldve been able to push him in easily at levels 1 and 3...

you beat me to it. Taliyah is a deceptively hard champion to master, so you are not gonna be able to trade with him until you learn how to use her properly.

If he's pushing you in and you're nearly dead, he's basically a walking target for your jungler. later on in the game is where he shines, early he has to set up, and he can't 1v2 early game at all. Shurima Shuffle also costs a lot of mana early. He CAN get kills early if he's allowed to, but he is also really vulnerable.

Atleast they fixed his ult so now you can dash over it allowing for counterplay against him

I dunno every Azir I've seen since the rework has gotten stomped. Mostly by me. His range is short as fuck.
