Since his release in 2014, Azir has received nothing but nerfs

> Azir ! (W) [Tower damage bits removed from tooltip but seem to still function in-game] Emperor's Divide (R): Wall duration lowered to 2 seconds from 5/6/7 No longer grants 20% movement speed for 1 second when passing through wall for Azir and Allies]

What the hell? This guy is already so hard to play and still gets more nerfs. Sure, he has a lot of poke potential and range and is kinda of an hyper carry but I barely see an Azir now and when I do, they are completly rekted. Maybe he is a problem in high elo like Diamond and higher but in low elo like low Gold he is just kinda of useless. Please, don't make this changes come true.

PS:Oh and Stinger is also getting nerfed in the same patch.

Maybe because 1000 range marksman that can attack multiple people in a large area with huge safety is a completely retarded design ?

Sounds like Caitlin with runnans except she also crits and has sustain

Yeah I find this suggested nerf to be a bit harsh. Makes it so that his wall is only useful for the Shurima Shuffle, an already mechanically difficult maneuver.

I suspect this is a boundary test to see if it breaks Azir's ult usefullness, and that they'll adjust the wall up time to a flat 4 seconds at all ranks.

That way if Azir players want they can block off a enemy route, or split a team fight.

That's not true, he's also gotten more bugfixes and "QoL buffs" than any other champ despite being one of the newer ones.

The fact that a champion needs that many QoL changes and bug fixes isn't a good thing. The nerfs to his ult aren't needed and the nerf to Stinger will hurt even more.

Bugfixe and QOL aren't buff, they just clean the pb of code on the champion Beside, as you said, there is always new bug coming along

I was actually considering trying to learn him again after some qol buffs and ap item changes, this is rather discouraging though.

Aside from all the bugs this champion has had since his release, he's also been a victim of a lot of nerfs due to professional play.

with the Nerf to stinger his ult is definitely does not need a nerf, at least scale it like 3/5/7 if your going to indefinitely Nerf it, theirs no counter play if i cant wall off assassin like ahri especially low level when he is the most open to assassination. Azirs lane phase just got hit hard from the stinger change and now his late game wall wont provide much zone control if this goes through
