Azir
According to champion.gg,
sits at 41% win rate platinum+ and that is 2nd worst of all champs
and lowest of any midlaner. The best thing Riot has done with
is make him a hard champion and his kit is based around knowing the champ, taking a lot of practice to master and his results when mastered/proficient are devastating. Unfortunately, for a lot less work other champions,
(even
) produce better results and take a lot less practice. I recommend buffs to Azir, but buffs like damage when his q lands, ult knockback/soldiers, and even buff his cooldowns because the self peel that Azir gets is truly unique out of any champion. Azir should be a hard champion and even when mastered still can be shut down if the laner is almost as good. The point I'm trying to get across is that he should have the highest skill cap in the game and one of the most destructive if not the most in teamfights.
His gameplay should be like so Terrible laning phase, a true azir main will need to over come this. Awful when behind so you can't be shut down in laning and come back and destroy. Mid game is decent, still can be put in the dirt. Late game and well oriented team fights- Azir's greatest strength.
When you buff azir don't buff simplistic things that any body could do, buff the part of the kit where true skill is shown.
