Hi,
I'm a main Azir and after this 6.11 patch, I saw the patch notes and I was pretty surprised, they had nerfed Azir!!! So I'm asking you, young lol players if Azir is viable even with this nerfs.
For Kindred, I started playing him there is some months and with his nerf I'm asking myself the same question as Azir, Ekko nad Maokai, ARE THEY STILL VIABLE???
Thanks for answering :D
there is no surprise why they nerfed azir, azir is still viable as he always has been he just did to much. oppressive laning, seige and objective control. same with kindred except it was more about the abusive relationship with items. further more you are low ranked so you can probably get away with murder so long as you're good at what you do. viability only becomes a concerned maybe at plat i think ( people still consider gold to be a shit pool but i wouldnt know.)
As long as AP tank items are strong so will Azir be. He synergizes too well with Rylai's and deals too much damage. Damage is the main reason you play Azir, utility is secondary.
They just want to fit azir in the ''zone control mage'' category, so they took his siege aspect out of the game.
They nerfed Kindred because of how opressive her early game still is after earlier nerfs. They are making her marks a little more attractive to the player. And less of a ''Oh look a mark nearby, should I get it?'' thing.. (and that makes me sad bacause she is my waifu)
Ekko nerfs are really just to make AP a more intuitive aproach. They are trying to tone Tank ekko down. Again.
And Maokai, well, he is just too damn OP late game.
BUT they will most likely still be all viable.
