if you're azir, there's no reason not to carry

he's pretty damned strong. all you need to capitalize on it is unlocked camera lol.

also being able to last hit with his basic is a must, but jesus christ. 1 item and he becomes an unstoppable truck.

his area control is just so godly there's no reason not to get either fed or just take every tower you want.

also, item 3115 is a must. i don't care what your stupid lolking or mobafire or plat+ experience tells you. it gives massive attack speed, cdr(which equals more attack speed) and 80 ap + an auto attack steroid that makes mana conservation easier(doesn't affect your soldiers, but it's very worth the price for the stats it gives anyway.

i run 18% cdr at level one, and by the time i get nashors i have all the as and am cdr capped.

this build i have is absolutely foolproof for being able to handle anyone and everyone that comes your way.

item 3115 item 3020(homeguard) item 3135 item 3089 item 3151 item 3157

massive ap, an immunity that buys you time to escape, max cdr, 1.5 attack speed, and enough magic pen to melt anyone and everyone regardless of what they decided to build.

i see so many azirs rush morello's, and while it's a good item in its own right, how often do you find anyone EVER that can heal up through a fight with azir that lasts more than 3 seconds. i can't find anyone like that.

Every time I see an Azir rush Morello's or Athene's I shed a tear. Even if you never use Nashor's Tooth's passive, it's still stupid Gold Effecient, and yeah, "Attack speed scales poorly on Azir!" Well that's because it scales off two stats, not one. Know what gives you those two stats and a relatively large amount of AP? item 3115

Personally I run scaling CDR Glyph's and I end up hitting 40% CDR with JUST Nashor's at like level 12. Sure it delays it a bit but it frees up an item slot for more damage.

Though, something I suggest, don't "rush" Nashors, pick up a blasting wand after Fiendish Codex. Keeps your damage in check for your Q harass while finishing Nashors.

i don't see how this guy hasn't seen a nerf yet. he's just so incredibly strong and doesn't even require a decent team around him to carry.

He has been nerfed a few times, iirc pretty recently too. Or it's in the PBE. Don't quite recall.

If he is still nerf worthy, I don't think too much more needs to be done. If anything maybe increase the CD of his E? Reduce his safety to make him easier to shut down.

I have been playing LoL for almost 3 years now and i got my first Penta some days ago with Azir i always have a good KDA because i die very few times,but killing is not for me most of the games Penta for me is = 7 kills for anyone else...and i did it with Azir

Nashor's is overrated on Azir. Also, the reason why item 3165 is so damn strong on him is the same reason why it's so damn strong on pretty much every other mid lane. It gives really great stats and is extremely cost efficient. Why the heck do you think that double Morello builds were so common? It definitely wasn't for the Grievous wounds, that's for sure.

I do agree that Azir is extremely good right now. People are starting to notice and I don't think it'll be long till he gets a love-tap from the nerf bat.
