Azir is kind of completely broken atm

Stronger at all stages, still has good aa range (above caitlyn), 1k range dash with a free shield, still impossible for melees to dive him btw his ranged aoe AAs (that slows you in aoe with rylais), spammable dash + shield and anti engage ult.

Nerfs when?

Nope.

still has good aa range (above caitlyn)

Well he needs somehow to be safe since he cant opt for lifesteal like caitlyn. You could argue thats his e job, but his e lasts only 1.5. He either has the range to stay out of some trouble, or he gains things to make him more tanky, which is actually pretty similar to pretty much most mages.

1k range dash with a free shield

His dash is predictable, and on big cd early on. Though i do feel like his shield should proc when he hits an enemy champ.

still impossible for melees to dive him

Tristana , Kalista , Vayne say hi!

btw his ranged aoe AAs

Ashe Hi!. And its 20% for a single second. Rylais is a shitty item. Unfortunately he needs the slow in order to be able to apply his dmg since you can avoid them, unlike caitlyns aa, which are undodgeable. Unless you are jax.

spammable dash

With 45% cdr its 6.75. Its relatively medium cd compared to some others.

anti engage ult.

Not anymore. It doesnt block dashes anymore when its stationed.

Azir is just horribly designed champ.

52% winrate on a champion that had a 47% winrate for nearly a year. Play rate jumps and he has several changes that massively effect him.

Please learn the match up before you come to the boards bitching about Azir.

he should have a low winrate because of how absurdly hard it is to be good with him.

His winrate increased by a bit when his rework came out even though it shouldnt because of his skillcap

You do realize that their goal was to make him easier to play by a wider audience right? They legit wanted to close the massive skill gap at least somewhat and in that way they were successful.

I never read anything about making him more easier to play. From the look of the changes it was just make him more short range so he's not oppressive in lane so he had some sort of counterplay.

There's no changes that made him easier to play. It was just shorter range azir with more soldiers.

I'd have to find it again, but yeah they were aiming to lower the skill gap since they know he had such a massive one. He is a lot easier to play from when I recently had been playing him tbh.

Azir just isn't as busted as people are calling him.

He is stronger, yes, probably needs a mana and cd nerf to be completely fair, but he isn't the busted soloq monster people have started crying him to be.

Azir is one of those champs that you have to really look for a mistake, for example most of his damage comes from his soldiers obviously so if he misplaces a solider he’s very vulnerable on CD, he’s the one you need to take out first in a team fight. On the bright side they nerfed his ult so you can get through it using abilities before you couldn’t do that which really sucked

His Q goes down to about a 3 second CD with CDR which you always get in the form of Nashors and Morellos.

Going to have to concede that in good hands, he's absolutely terrifying currently. Not really sure he should be up for nerfs though. I feel like he's pretty much on point with a lot of the other top-tier mages currently - maybe his mobility needs tweaked a bit? that's bout' it. Minor note: always thought Azir should not be mobile from a thematic perspective..
