Ok, its the Knock up he needs Riot. How is he supposed to make plays with his ult when people can just walk away from him? How can we go against assassins jumping on him. My suggestion is to give reduced shield on him, but give his knock up back. Nerf his damage on q, and change his passive. BUT HIS E is so unique to his character and play style. WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO AZIR IS REMOVING THE KNOCK UP ON RIVEN'S THIRD Q.

He can have the knock-up, but he gets no mobility out of E period.

Or they can just nerf him all around since he's broken without that combo.
Rain NT2 votesThe only way they would do that is if they reduce not only Q damage but his solider damage and remove the shield completely as well, cause his Q damage was not the problem. The problem was you couldnt avoid his damage if he hits his knock up. Because once your knock up he gets a free ult which does half a squishy hp and then 2 aa and maybe another Q and most champion would prob be dead already. Theres no counter play when he has that knock up, now he can only use as peel and not as an engage and use the insec play only if he has flash.
Not only that, Azir did everything. Burst damage, sustain damage, slow, knock up, knock back, shield, mobility, zoning, a wall that no one can pass through, attackspeed, and a free turret. Be happy they only took one away, cause if they give him back the knock up, than burst damage or sustain damage or mobility has to go. And trust me, if they take away any of those 3, Azir wouldnt be played as much anymore. The knock up removal is the least they could have done to him which makes him still super strrong late game with his peel and zoning potential while still having him tanky with shield. Not to mention they didnt even touch his damage output.

Geminiye1 votesok rito....we have leveled with you through the nerfs....evellyn...jax....no dodge chance....BUT WHY THE FUCK, would you nerf azir.....i say atleast give him his knockup back
EbonyRubberWolf1 votesTo be honest, I'd much rather have them remove damage and shield from e, damage on ult, and the slow from Q rather than get rid of the knock-up on e. All Azir can do now is poke at his foes and has absolutely zero kill potential in lane unless the enemy suffers a massive aneurysm and decides to stand in place for a while, and forget about winning duels or counterganking a 2v1 scenario. Kill his burst rather than kill his utility. He can't even use his lane's normal tower to pressure unless he burns a Flash for it, and his passive as it stands now is completely useless. Nevermind that the combo took nerves and practice to pull off. The shield on E is useless as well since no Azir worth his salt will ever E into an enemy combatant because there's so little reward for doing so.
Azir as it stands is now completely broken, and in the bad way. Which is sad, because he was a fun champ to use for when he actually did stuff.
