I really don't understand what's the fuzz is about. His winrate is never gone up to 50%. His popularity is so low at 6% with winrate of 48% max.
When some retards think he's a freelo, the popularity goes up to 20% and his winrate for down all the way to 40%. IT's so freaking obvious that idiots have no idea how he works, how to play as Azir or how to counter him.
He's a shitty champ to first pick in that lane. He's a great pick as a counter. Other than that, he does do high dmg like any adc but with AP items from the back line. So he's squishy as fuck.
By pass his soldier and game over when he just uses his q. Some champs don't even care if he uses Q or not.
