Riot, lets talk about your nerfs.(Riot Response?)

I'm generally curious about the nerfs in recently. You've nerfed the champions that are high skill, high reward, but azir looks like he's going to be awful in those pbe changes, and sol just got hit with another nerf. Can a rioter address as to why these nerfs are happening? As an azir main, I'm very surprised that they're nerfing the one thing on azir(his ult) that makes him worth playing. I'm just curious and what is the reasoning behind the nerfs? Are they to strong? Are you trying to put these champions in a different mindset? Thanks a bunch, again, this isn't a complaint, but I'm curious as to why. Thanks guys!

Azir nerfs are brutal.They know Azir mains win with 54%.Only 54%.It is very normal.You can look other champions players.They win with 55-56-57%.Their target is show.Competitive, show, different champions so they punished Azir.

Yes both champion need nerf.Zed nerf isn't huge.But they destroyed soloq Azir players.Azir isn't viable and he is useless again.

You can give nerf to champion but nerf's target must be sensible and viable.

I just don't understand, there's so many champions that are insanely powerful and need a nerf, but they're find, and if they get nerfed, they get something about them buffed.

Probem is, stingers AS got reduced by 15% in PBE, hurting azirs early game even more.

I agree Stinger nerf and w nerf but one patch four nerfs.This is very huge.

Also your point is true.Azir's early game is bad.His early game will be worse.

Also you add duration nerf.Azir's early game will be 4x worse.
