Azir is in the worst spot ever so far

LeBlorgh··1 votes·872 views

Hey guys, i just went through the numbers azir currently after all his nerfs has and he had just before the rework. And i just dont know how i still manage to win on him.

Most of his basedamage was better before the rework than after it. I'll go through every single abilty in depth.

Q: Pre Rework Azir: COOLDOWN 10/9/8/7/6 seconds BASE DAMAGE 65/85/105/125/145 (0.5 AP Scaling) Current Azir: COOLDOWN: 15 / 12.5 / 10 / 7.5 / 5 seconds BASE DAMAGE 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 (+ 30% AP)

W: Pre Rework Azir: BASE DAMAGE 50/52/54/56/58/60/63/66/70/84/98/112/126/139/153/167/181/195 AMMO RECHARGE 10/9/8/7/6 seconds Current Azir: BASE DAMAGE 60/62/64/68/70/72/75/80/85/90/100/110/120/130/140/150/160 RECHARGE TIME: 8 / 7.5 / 7 / 6.5 / 6 seconds

E: Pre Rework Azir: SHIELD DURATION 4 seconds Current Azir: NEW SHIELD AP RATIO 0.7 ability power SHIELD DURATION 4 seconds ⇒ 1.5 seconds

R: Pre Rework Azir: WALL SIZE 4/5/6 soldiers COOLDOWN 140/120/100 seconds Current Azir: 5 / 6 / 7 soldiers COOLDOWN: 120 / 105 / 90 Additionally: Azir's wall doesnt stop enemies who try to dash over anymore when its just standing there.

So these are the numbers. I just dont get why he is still viable, his soldier base damage at lvl 10 and 11 is pretty much the same and from lvl 12 on even higher than the current iteration of azir. And that is the point where azir starts getting strong currently anyways. His Q Base Damage as well as the scaling is even lower than pre rework on top of a shitty range and higher cd at ALL ranks except lvl 5, where that one second doesnt really matter anymore. I get that he got some buffs, like higher soldier base damage until lvl 11 (even just slightly), the 3 soldiers up bonus attack speed, a larger wall, a scaling on his shield etc. But that doesnt make up for all of this and the loss of his range. I guess that the new runes are the reason he isnt completely lost atm but he isnt really viable either and just the mains are playing him.

Any thoughts?

Line up with the rest of the LCS nerf squad. I'm sure Shen can keep you entertained.

They don't care how this champ is in solo queue. All they care is that he doesn't do well against their poor little flashy plays.

Imo Riot should've went with the second approach to his rework. Removing the Shurima Shuffle and giving him an entirely new ultimate. His kit is still problematic and he is forced to be trash otherwise he runs rampant in pro play and high elo. The rework simply exacerbated his existing problems.

That would destroy the champ i love so much entirely. Every Main would stop playing him. Thats the reason why many people quit this game, everything gets reworked, even tho it doesnt need one.

Riot should just stop balancing around 0.4 % of the playerbase. Or make different servers. If someone wants to become a pro, fucking go on that specific server and deal with the broken shit that happens there.

I spent about 600 € on League and i expect, that riot cares about people like me, because without us, this game would be dead.

I'm sorry but i just want my good old azir back, i had to wait way too long for my leblanc.
