Do you think the Azir nerfs will make it to Live?

The tl;dr version is that Azir's aa range with his soldiers got shortened, and some AP scaling was shaved off his Q and the tower damaging portion of W. They buffed his base AD but in my opinion that's barely worth mentioning.

Do you think Riot will make these nerfs happen? Well, they buffed Ahri out of the blue and nerfed Syndra and Fizz for no reason, so that worries me. If this change goes through, to me it's like Riot is saying 'we really, REALLY want Ahri to be strong right now and see her in every LCS game'

Syndra, Fizz, and Azir may have needed some tuning, but the nerfs Riot has decided on are on the harsh side. And coupled with the fact that, at the same time, Ahri gets a MASSIVE buff tells me that it's not balanced gameplay they're after.

He needs extreeme amount of nerfs as he is right now is insanely OP as fuck. He shuts down 70% of the champ pool single handedly.

So ye the nerfs might look harsh but he needs it. Since rito doesn't want to buff teh weaker ones he'Ll end up being overnerfed to make up for his overtuned kit.

His laning power needs some trimming anyways, fighting with his aa harasses from across the river isn't all that fun tbh, but I am afraid they might have trimmed too much.

Whatever the case, wait and see.

They should leave the soldier range alone. Nerfs to Q and W's tower ratio should be enough.

Base AD doesn't even apply to soldier's autoattack...maybe some Rioter just had trouble last hitting?

The range nerf must go away.

Expecially when it won't be possible to overlap soldiers with the new formation mechanic the range cut will reduce Azir damage to less than half of what it is now just by itself.

Unless the range is taken in consideration for the minimum distance of soldiers in formation.

It was either the range or the slow that had to go. Q hitbox can also stand to lose some width. That thing is quite forgiving for the power it has.
