Azir has no weakness when played well

Omiwom··7 votes·829 views

Every champion needs some core weakness, no matter who's behind the keyboard. This problem is why people hate champs such as Zed, Riven and Leblanc. The game depends completely on how good they are. Their opponents can't do a thing but hope they are bad.

Azir is right now the biggest offender. He just has so much that he does so well. Why play Nami when Azir's ult is better than her's? Why play Xerath when Azir has just as much wave clear, but can also go aggressive at short range? He pushes melee champs out of mid because of all the harass

I think his attack speed/cdr passive should be removed honestly. It's the least interactive part of his kit and gives an unnecessary increase to his damage. If he wants attack speed he should build Nashor's Tooth.

if he plays perfect he shouldn't have a weakness

He does have 1 weakness. When he uses his soldiers he has to stay in 1 spot. It's not much but in teamfight it's enough just to throw some cc

I think AP Kog is a strong counter to Azir late game.

yes, anything that is spammable kills him, and the fact that he is so hard to have EVERYTHING right for him to be at that level of godhood is far and few.

He has one of the lowest healths, bird champs.... (rito pls). And he has to stand still to AA with his soldiers.

I hate to always say this but there is a ring around his soldiers that show how far they can attack, and the spear pokes out a little longer than that out of the circle so if you stand by a minion just inside it he can poke you with it.

That and he is countered by in your face junglers that stand on top of people, his e is useless as he just knocks them up when trying to escape. meanwhile the only counter to Nasus is time....

azir is pure aids to go versus as melee. if azir dies a single time in lane versus melee in a non 1v3 situation he is just really bad.

never forget i was renek vs azir top and he ulted me against a wall and i was stuck for the full 5 seconds

He gets screwed by flanks, get him caught on more than one side and he can't do much. Thing about Azir is that he's hard to play, and against most compositions, he cannot do more than 1v2 (if he can he's either uber fed or you lost in champion select), as opposed to any of the prementioned champs in the OP, who can all get a small advantage and completely run away with the game. Azir is good against tanks and low mobility, if we were still in assassin meta Azir would probably have been/be getting buffs by now.

Try playing champs that can jump on him. Zed is a hard counter. Fizz is similar. Just have to play around his wall, but he is very beatable.

Azir can't win vs long range like Ziggs and Xerath...
