Please buff azir in next patch, or we will never see him again.

Guess azir is going to have a lonely time playing with the sand if he isn't buffed after the next patch.

Did you not see 5.5? Not only are they giving his soldiers the much needed range, they're also increasing his attack speed; which means more damage :)

Although I don't play Azir, the W nerf definitely seemed like the most impactful one to me. I fully expect Azir to be playable again with patch 5.5. No guarantees as to how good he will be, but he should be out of the dumpster.

It was; The damage to towers and Q were NEEDED to lower his early game shutdown. He was pretty safe and strong the entire game.

Now his damage is more manageable and feels fair to not get such huge damage at level 2.

However; the soldier range nerf was what killed him. The bug still exists where if you summon a soldier, or Q, the soldier's AA will wiff and do nothing. So when you q someone, then try to aa them, it had a pretty good chance to miss.

Not to mention, the soldier pretty much needed to be ontop of the enemy to hit them only once. If they walked a step away, the soldier couldn't aa them, meaning if you clicked them Azir would walk towards them to poke them with his staff. Not a good idea to run into someones face as a squishy mage to hit them for 45 damage.

Damage to towers actually was completely irrelevant early, as you didn't have enough AP yet to make the nuke really effective. It wasn't truly a threat until late game. I think it would be nice to buff his turret nuke a little bit, since in the Patch Rundown they mentioned they don't understand Azir's win condition yet, and doing this would give him greater purpose as an effective sieger. (I actually think sieging is Azir's best ability, more so than his team fighting capability, which is his other obvious strength) It's sort of a useless ability as of right now, and with just a little buff it would make Azir's carryability late game more realistic. It would also make sure that you remain somewhat relevant even if you get behind in a bad matchup. A behind Azir is literally useless, so having this would make games like this slightly less frustrating. Perhaps the turret nuke damage could scale with level? Really - I'm not advocating a full re-buff, since that nuke was pretty broken. But a little boost couldn't hurt.
