Azir is my favorite champion and these nerfs are not good

Honestly dont know what to think of these nerfs. The move of his AS scaling seems to reduce the extremity of his CDR scaling as it was a really massive boon to his overall game play. That was fair given it made him scale a lot harder than every other champ with CDR. Especially since they kept the As and moved it to his W. Now W max is better, but then they nerfed the damage heavily. This reduces his burst and increases the need for sustained damage. Fair enough. The E nerf gets rid of the "shurima shuffle"( Im not a big fan of that name) which was probably never intended. Fair enough. My question now is how is he supposed to compete in the midgame? in my opinion his mid was not that great because in mid game mobility is the best thing not stationary power. Hence the reason why Assassins are so strong. By removing his mid game damage you're making a champion with a rocky but solid mid game far weaker which seems a little unnecessary. That's just me though.

Did you read the Rioter post about how they are testing extremes over the next couple of days, and that the current ones are just a part of this test?
