Azir
What in the hell, heaven and earth is he for? defense. I get it. hes for defense. protect you base. wait what? defense. you mean basically attacking and pushing off enemies. without getting hit. no.
all he is is his soldiers. and he has to be too close for the soldiers. I mean listen for me for a second. I played few azir games and I lost all of them. there is no attack potential. nothing potential. hes too situational. the range of the sand soldiers is too damn short. I mean am not playing a 5 hour game where I have 20 people with different roles and that 1 defensive guy helps. what LOL is is farm , kill and push and be stronger than your opponent. holding back and pushing them off for few seconds is nothing but useless. it doesn't take you anywhere. his sand soldiers feel like a regular attack and the rest of his abilities are just an extension of that. his passive. while cool. is useless. 60 seconds. and less if you die or be far away. all the enemy has to do is stay away. its 60 SECONDS turret for a passive. and it has extremely low health. minus its losing health at the same time.
there is no 1v1 fighting potential. no teamfight potential. maybe except his ultimate but thats like. you know you have to fight at some point if you made achampion designed for defense then you know you did something wrong.
man all I see in azir is riot trying to make a guy that will turn the table around a losing game. which is dumb. his win rate is one of the lowest at around 40%. and if it was cheaper. if it was one of the low tier priced. i bet you it will drop down to 30%. sure it takes skill to use him but. I get the abilities. I can read. but all the enemy has to do is avoid them. there is no target system to any of his abilities. even his ultimate is really easy to get away from. and if you're that close there is an extremely good chance that you will die while using it.
I mean I had yasuo before him. I thought yasuo was hard to use so I refunded him. I was like i will just use up all my refunds right now and get it over with and try new champions since am new. yasuo was way better than him and i thought yasuo was a little situational and not straight forward
but azir. i don't get it. I really don't. there is nothing offensively he can do that i can think of. in which makes the game 4v5 when you're on offensive. it really does.
