Emperor's downfall?

Hey all,

I'm just thinking about our lovely ex-op Azir's downfall. I believe he has been nerfed too much in the meantime. Other champions can attack towers with abilities, now he can't. His ulti is now shorter and won't provide any bonuses, now it's like Yasuo's wall with a 4-times high CD. The soldiers have a shorter sight and reduced damage output which I've felt greatly in my previous matches. Playing LoL for a couple months and he's my main and most favorite character but I started to fear choosing him on mid as it is harder to counter other balanced champions. It took me tens of games to understand and master Azir as he is a difficult champion chosen by people who dedicate time and some losses for the golden pigeon and enjoy the fruit of your labor with him later. With these constant nerfs his prestige had been greatly degraded and it is not enjoyable for an ascended God to be taken down by a japanese foxgirl or a blue fish with a trident.

What do you think? I say he should be balanced rather than weakened down. Maybe a new skin would be nice too, like a Dark Star Azir or something else.

Hugs from Shurima

Other champions can attack towers with abilites? Like who, ziggs, and ziggs? (this is not counting auto attack enhancing abilities like leonas Q)

Yasuo's wind wall does not knock back, block off, and deal damage to enemies. Go watch the wildturtle penta last night and watch pobelter and his glorious azir ult.

Squishy mages are killed by anti squishy mages. Amazing i know.

... YOU BALANCE A CHAMPION BY WEAKENING THE STRONG PARTS OF THEIR KIT.

PS both would be amazing. I can just imagine a huge black hole as a turret

He's getting an SKT skin, case you haven't heard.

Good Azir still wins against today's meta mids.

Azir was horrendously overloaded on release and had to be nerfed, especially the knock-up on his E that allowed him to win every trade under any circumstance.
