Azir is dead because of this

""NEW EFFECT: Soldier attacks now draw minion aggro to Azir."" patch 8.3. Literally dropped a full 10 % in his win rate and has been sitting there ever since patch 8.3.. can we please revert that nerf on him. Azir is already insanely squishy, especially with all the new champions having mobility and cc. why pick this guy now when you can just pick leblanc and dash across lane doing burst damage and blink back safely or syndra where she can sit around and throw her little holes at you.

He has waveclear, poke, isn't taliyah, and therefore must die.

Not my opinion but the way the game has gone for a few months. Sorry.

Actually, it has been this way since forever. His soldiers always drew minion aggro, and I have not the slightest idea why it was in the patch notes (I questioned it at the time). I'm pretty sure it has been this way. Azir is my main min laner, and I tested it in game right as the patch notes were released (aka before patch day).

That being said, yes his state is beyond shitty as a result of repetitive nerfs (Q damage nerfs are were the last straw imo, and they literally continued and nerfed his soldier AoE damage a patch later). According to LoLalytics, his win rate is below 44%, and he scores a whopping 53.4% win rate on the best, top players (while it's not at all unusual to see this stat being 57%-59% on other champions). In other words, the argument "he's meant to be hard and he's good if you put a lot of time into him" is completely invalid, as the top, most dedicated players averaging D3 have 53% win rate with him.

I dont know Im sticking with what I said. Not only did I instantly feel the patch even when I didnt know about it. but Azir literally dropped between 40 - 45 % winrate from 52% in a matter of days after that patch. And the only other nerf on him on that patch was a 4 second nerf level 1 on his Q which i doubt is enough to straight screw him like that
