Azir is now officially broken.

Imhomeless··4 votes·2,519 views

You, Riot, of all the champions you could of nerfed. You've just broken and literally ruined Azir for those people like me who play him, and I'm not the best with him, I don't do well in every game but I've enjoyed playing him for what it is worth.

Getting to know the rotation, where I'm useful and how I can provide support for my team, now.. I can't even poke the mid lane anymore because you've turned his Q into a bloody joke. MY Q GOES FURTHER BACKWARDS THAN FORWARDS. SHOULD I JUST KEEP JUMPING BEHIND MY TEAM BECAUSE I'M USELESS NOW?!

I just tried him in a game and I went 2/12 and I usually hit about 16/4 average. How do you plan on fixing others that need to be fixed like; Fizz, Zed, Ziggs, Rengar etc? And that's just the icing on the cake.

You've completely ruined yet another champion and fair enough, his Q might of needed a little tweak so it didn't travel half the map but that's just taking the absolute piss.

Thank you for your time. I hope the person who did this feels proud of himself for killing an underdog champ.

Zed Ziggs need fixing? rofl, they need buffs if anything.

The "underdog" champion is a free win in competetive and has the most oppressive laning in the game... while being DPS + burst champion + zone control later...

"Free win" for those who really know how to play him, for people just starting out, or average (like me) It's not so easy. Don't take my word for it guys.

Play him and then tell me how you feel.

Why should rito balance for people that don't know the champ?

Ziggs? Really? Also, they just reduced his burst slightly, no idea what you're talking about with going more backwards than forwards.

Imhomeless1 votes

Yes, Ziggs. Go test what I'm saying. You'll soon find out.

Catastrop1 votes

I don't need to test it because I've played the champion plenty of times before to know he can never be in the same boat as Zed or Fizz.

You're judging it off of one game? Also

underdog champ

The guy has seen more LCS mid lane than Fizz or Ziggs did in the Spring split. He's great at: -Zoning (Especially great at this because he can change where his soldiers are with Q or wait for them to die and spawn new ones quickly) -Holding a lane/pushing one with his passive turret -Changing a team fight with his ult

Listen guys. Instead of questioning the facts. Go play him, you'll soon realize what I'm talking about.

I don't know what you mean by "going backwards more than forward". I assume you mean the distance his soldiers travels.

But the nerfs he received was just the additional damages from multiple soldiers got reduced to the damage of one soldier. So if you're talking about the weirdness of his soldiers traveling at an odd distance, it's most likely all you.

It's not all me. I know the distance in which the soldiers travel. I've been playing him none stop for a week since I bought him. They've reduced the distance in which they travel drastically.

I meant "Going backwards" as to say that the soldier travels further backwards than it does infront of you.

I've had like 1000 Azir games since his release and I've already tried him again today, his Q range is still the exact same. There was no change.

...because nobody knows how to use Galio as a hard-counter to Azir if played the right way. Most people do not know that way so will probably fail if they try to just try to Galio without first doing some homework or getting any advice from a Galio main and especially if they do not practice the lane-phase first against Azir

If you see an Azir just pop out Xerath and see who is the the truest Ascendant out there

I've played Azir twice in ranked - platinum and it was like a free win...

Didn't they take like 5 movement speed away from him? he is a god tier mid what are you complaining about

-10 movement speed (now 325, the lowest base in the game) and Q doesn't deal additional damage.

I admit I like the lack of Q damage because I see people build item 3285 on him and go 'wtf, he's a Sustained Damage Mage, not a Poke Mage!' and maybe a few more people will build item 3116 now.

I believe most adcs have 325 and he does similar damage to an adc so it makes sense to me. Assasins need more movement speed sustained dps do not. People have also been building nashors rylais in most challenger level games which will rub off to the rest of us

Yeah they nerfed him, but now its all about the Sated Azir

Vaelentino1 votes

LOL, bruh if you know what you're doing with Azir he's a monster. Try to play Viktor against him in mid lane against a skilled Azir player. Do try not to punch a hole through your monitor.

Nothing wrong with Azir. He's stronger now with the item changes. TLDR; Git Gud.
