Azir Art Feedback: kit and ability design looks AMAZING! The champion itself, bleh, too predictable.

And he has to be bird-headed no less? I know there's supposed to be a very heavy egyptian theme with the Shurima Desert, but...the design of the champion itself is a tad too generic and overdone. I know he's clearly based off either Ra or Horus just like Nasus is with Anubis. But egyptian themed fantasy design always falls back to jackal headed or bird headed dude.

He should have been a Scarab or Dung Beetle instead. Or a lumbering Hippo-man instead(yes, there were hippos in the Nile). I'm just saying, there were more interesting choices than birdman.

On a more positive note, his Phalanx, design and sound effects, are BADASS. And I love the concept of his auto-attack coming from his soldiers. How many can he have at once? what happens if the soldiers are out of range to attack the enemy since they look melee. Oh, but please tell me his skin is not going to be a 300-inspired skin, that'd be far too obvious...

edit: MAN people do not take criticisms well.

he is meant to be someone powerful making a powerful Egyptian themed champ based on something other than a god seems not right imo

They could have chosen one that isn't so obvious though. Everyone predicted that if another champion came from the same place Nasus and Renekton came from, it'd be someone with the head of a bird.

You can easily have 2 soldiers active, 3 momentarily. Soldier attack range seems to be about 500.

His skin is Galactic Azir.
