Thanks for nerfing Azir

They buff the fuck out of half the game's mages, and then they go and fuck azir over. Azir wasn't broken, now he can't take turrets like he used to, his wall lasts for less time and he has to compete with all the recently buffed mages, What the actual fuck? Riot balance department needs to sort their shit out, Volibear can, for example, deal 400 or so damage at level 4-5 with one spell, while building a ruby crystal, but Azir can't have a decent wall. Riot should stop nerfing champs that are balanced, I know soon they will buff Azir, he'll be OP and get nerfed to the ground, while they could have left him nice and balanced like he was before this patch.

Azir's no worse at taking turrets than most mages even without his W targeting them directly. In fact, he's arguably still better at it than a lot of mages because he itemizes AS and gains more of it from his W. Rank 1 W and Nashor's is already +70% AS.

If you're not aware, when you attack a turret, the damage you do to it is modified depending on whether your Bonus AD or AP is higher. If your AP is higher, then you do 50% of your AP as bonus magic damage to the turret.
