Giving him a Knock-Up on his E would probably break him, again. It'd make him even more reliable. The shield can be compensated for by playing more carefully. Meanwhile, his opponents would end up eating two stuns in a row followed by at least three hits from two soldiers, and it would come out at a speed that's virtually impossible to react to.
Azir needs a rework, a very large scale one, severely.
He's an early-game bully with hyper-carry scaling AoE damage, a wall that stops dashes, self-peel, a shield, the most flexible and arguably longest ranged dash in the game. He's extremely safe to play, and has extremely reliable strengths.
And this isn't just listing all the positives in his kit without listing negatives. That's listing the /outliers/ of his positives.
To be honest, he doesn't actually have many, if any, significant weaknesses.
is in a terrible spot but, Reworking him in the eyes of an Azir main cannot be an option in order for him to be viable. I think the only real things that can be changed are his passive or/and his E could be a little different honestly i think changing the E back to have the knock up would be better I would much rather have a knock up than a shield i think that change would make him not the best but not terrible and competitive can't really go nuts with a change that minor this is just my opinion what do you guys think? Or another option would be to just put back his CDR for AS instead of having that in his W. With the mage update and Assasin update (AKA. Tank Meta which is a whole other topic) I think he can be changed a decent amount in those small things that wouldn't make a crazy difference in where he would be stat wise.
