Give Azir his knock-up back

The title says it all ._. I just don't get it. A big argument was that azir can do the shurima shuffle and ult a enemy into his team ... Which was unbalanced? Consider the ridiculously slow speed the soldiers move as well as the buggy as all hell ult that supposedly starts from behind azir? (That can be found in the patch notes) . If someone gets caught by this play it is there fault for not reacting appropriately and respecting his range. Wasn't the idea of azir to be a zone oriented mage? And honestly... You really think it is unbalanced when I have to Q >E (or E>Q) possibly use flash and ult just to do what blitz can do with an ability on a 10 second cooldown? One thing I liked about the change that was balanced was that now enemies can interrupt azir's dash. This made sense since he can be ganked easily and has to always watch his position.

Yes the e knockup removal was not the right approach to his nerfs

Everyone complained about him having early pole and bullying on his q before transitioning into a late game dps machine. Nerfing the E didn't address the problem and just destroyed the enjoyment of playing him. It was a ballsy all or nothing ability and it was great. So far I have not seen a single person think that was the right way to nerf him.

I said this before and I'll say it again:

Take the current balance set as it is now, use it for the Pro scene, and then make another balance set for everyone else, with the nerfs/changes meant for the pro players reverted. In my opinion, balancing the game around the LCS is kinda dumb.

you realize this will be kog all over again, people wanting buffs, he gets them, he turns into a monster(he still is in the right hands), and people ask for nerfs. he is supposed to receive a game play update if i'm not mistaken because of his strength at pro play when he is in meta.

There is a very good reason they got rid of this that none of you are hitting on. Azir is a squishy long range mage. His weakness is things jumping on him and bashing his face in. if you get on top of him, if his long range, he fucked up and should be punished. The problem was that with his knockup, it made it so that all inning him was hard too, since he could CC you into an ult wherever he wants you. Now if you're on top of him, his only reprieve is his ult, how it should be.

TL;DR it was removing his main weakness of getting all inned, giving him jack of all trades, and king of them too, status.
