Alright.

So, awhile back, I made a post which I deleted because of the hate. Now, I've improved it. I wanna know what Riot's champion design team is thinking (now that im less biased with azir). I'm going to take both newer and somewhat older updates in this post, so if I say something that's not relative to the current update...

Why are they nerfing Malz and Azir, but buffing Illaoi and Fiora constantly? Though I hate to admit it, Azir is pretty strong (mid-lategame, shit early). But up to a certain point, isn't it just time to stop nerfing and see his win rate? I mean, look at this! https://gyazo.com/31466ad1c7d05ea1d7b624b2d15530e6 As a Malz main, I agree with the nerfs. He has an extremely strong mid and lategame. And he's still viable, but his winrate has dropped steadily down to 50%. All of that aside, I'd like to move on to the assassin class. The champions that are there are rather balanced, zed is squishy and has to get in close to do damage (ult), or aim from afar, Ekko has a stupid ult, but he's still beatable with a bit of cc and/or silence, Fizz can be bursted down with cc, rengo isn't too strong without all fervor stacks unless fed, kha is kha, but then we have THOSE champions. My first example? Kat. She has a ranged ability empower that bounces. She has strong waveclear at all levels. NO MANA! She has a reset on her hop. The only good thing about her is that she's squishy, but tank Kat is actually kinda strong. What about Talon? He has a basic attack empower, he can go invis every... 40 seconds? Which can be used for both escaping and damage, since his ult does damage when it spreads and when it returns. He has a 99% slow for .25 seconds, and gets a damage buff against said target which ranges from 3-15%. https://gyazo.com/72ce7ca38c5c48cba6d11197bd5ad844 https://gyazo.com/4054856a33fedd48efba3bde25f554e0 And it's kinda fair to call Yas balanced. If you're a midlaner, just bait out his w and poke him if you're ranged.

Now I'll just list off some champs that I feel are broken and why, and that'll be the end of this post, because I'm tired and I came back from the army today.

Trynd-Free dash, no mana, strong heals for, again, free, invincibility ult Cho'gath-Free tank, true damage on ult, 100% scaling on q, bs regen Akali-Ult resets, ranged basic attack empower, strong gap closer ult WITH RESETS Darius-Teemo e in passive, free damage, ult resets, short ranged blitz hook Garen-Silence, passive, high damage if builds full tank, free speed and armor (mr too), beyblade, true damage on villain, no mana Illaoi and Fiora-Do I even have to explain? Karthus-High damage on q for low price and cooldown. Decent radius on q. Passive. Large slow. Nasus ult aura. Kennen Yi-Autoattacks 5 dayz Jax-Hops on more dicks than a fuckboy Nidalee-Was that buff necessary? Shaco-Free invis, free high damage ranged slow, free fear, medium mana costs, dumb ult Singed-Close your eyes, walk in a straight line, go to sleep, wake up, see the enemy surrendering, check chat, 'Singed is legendary!/Penta kill!/...Legendary/Penta kill!' Swain-Singed with lifesteal and stun. Kayle-Trynd ult, can be used on allies, dumb heal, free speed, aoe activatable damage Voli-Build full warmogs. I DARE you.

There are some more that I probably missed. Anyway, I'm tired. Bronzu4waifu4laifu out.

Um no, Azir is not OP. Are you drunk?

And they're not buffing Fiora/Illaoi constantly.

I told you I may refer to previous updates. And Azir has a strong mid-lategame. Apparently, according to Riot, he is op.

Yeah except he hasn't been strong in like at least two years if not longer? And Riot is shit at deciding. I mean it's not like they have a good reputation with this stuff.

And that's what this post is about.

Then why say "Though I hate to admit it, Azir is overpowered."?

Ahri4Waifu4Laifu1 votes

I meant mid to lategame. I'll fix that.

Eh, he's at his strongest at lategame. That's not really saying much though, because he's still really bad even then, with only like 49% winrate at that point when he should be a hypercarry at that point. And even the pros with over 125+ games at Plat+ still do terrible.

Exactly. And yet, riot decides to make the meta more important than anything else. There was a redmercy which literally said Azir was going to get fucked harder than Oprah Winfrey (raped at 9), with Riot either going to remove the Shurima shuffle or some other somewhat less important concept. Considering his winrate is literally on par with a new champion that most people STILL can't figure out, it's really sad.[slayer-jinx-unamused]

Yeah, people whine too much about him. :P

Oh, and it's too bad you didn't see my last post. Just about every comment would flame me for saying Azir needs a buff.
