So... Azir needs help

Azir's winrate is almost 40% at the moment im making this, even though i am not a mid lane player i do think that such a glorious and unique champion deserves better, now i realize Azir has been op in the past, being an absolute monster in LCS, but now hes not and buffing him enough to where players in solo queue can safely pick him will probably bring him back to his dominating state in LCS. In all honesty i dont know how to fix the issue, but i just want to bring my concerns of the emperors dwindling power. It seems ridiculous that he be treated this way when hes a fairly new champ that is impossible to balance, therefore must be made garbage tier.

I do play mid lane and it's a real pain to play against him. Constant high damage plus range is a pretty toxic kit IMO. Well maybe he is such a good counter against me, because I mainly play melee assassins. He has soldiers who do the main damage for him which means he can almost always chill at his side of the lane and even when someone can pull of a gank he can just Q+E and be safe again. The soldiers are pretty far out so you will almost never reach him and the damage is maybe not very high at the beginning, but when he starts leveling, it becomes so strong that it comes to a point where you get two shotted just by an auto attack of the soldier. And that is just laning phase, wait till you get to the teamfights where he does massive AOE damage from a crazy range. It's like imaging lux being able to cast E every second.

I think he is pretty strong in solo queue, win rate doesn't say much, yet that is just an opinion of another scrub.

I hated when they nerfed him but when I saw his true power I changed he needed those nerfs. Also he's real real strong but one of the highest skill caps in the game because they took the appropriate approach and gave him clear weakness and lowered him damage output by not letting the solider damage stack and limiting his soliders to 2 instead of 3. Also taking away his shield.

Azir is fine. He's incredibly niche atm, which is good.

He should remain garbage tier.

He's the tristana of mages, not being able to miss included. 2 forms of disengage, safely deal damage at high range, good AoE, good dps, low mana intensity...if he were any stronger he'd be pick or ban again.

I'm Bronze and I main Azir and get really good results with him. He doesn't need nerfs. He doesn't need buffs. The only thing he needs is a minor bug fix. He is fine otherwise.

Winrate means nothing when it comes to Azir. Riot already stated that due to his steep learning curve its expected for him to have a low winrate and if he did have an average winrate that would mean he's easily too powerful. He's quite strong atm when you actually put the practice into him.
