I thought they was supposed to help create a healthy and respectable balance for him after the mini rework (which I thought he was pretty healthy tbh) but now the constant nerfs is gonna make him more nerfs when he was getting hard nerfed before the rework.
And with that being said should Riot jsut retire him since they can't find a way to balance him despite of being a mastery champion that has like a lowish % WR in that case?
It's because of how good he is in pro-play. He has a similar problem as Ryze, where he sucks in solo-queue, but is God tier in pro play.
Really, the only way to fix a problem like him and Ryze is to separate pro play balance from solo-queue, but, I've been told that that is a TERRIBLE idea.
No I'd actually argue that the rework was too successful. It made him far easier to learn while still being mechanical and challenging, gave him more weaknesses, and put him in a state where you didn't need to be a one-trick or a diamond player to have even the most basic success on him.
The real issue is the fact that Riot only balances mid lane around LC$ and the fact that Azir was reworked during a time when every other LC$ mid laner had already been nerfed to oblivion.
The mini rework being a failure was obvious before we even got it.
His shuffle/ his mobility has to go.
