With patch 5.18 rolling in we can see that Azir has one of the lowest win rates in the game. If this is because of his harsh learning curve. If so what kind of changes would decrease his learning curve. Or is he fine at present.
It has nothing to do with his learning curve. Well it does, indirectly. He was nerfed repeatedly because of how strong he was, so basically everyone who was using him for freelo can't abuse him anymore because a lot of the free power he had has been taken away. He can still function fine as a DPS mage who has decent zone control, but now he can't do that + everything else he could do before.
You wanna know the real downfall of Azir in the last patch? It's not even the nerfs, it's 
. People are convinced this is the only way to build Azir cause LCS players do it. His win rate dropped hard when people started rushing these.
Buffs would do the trick.There is no reason to pick him anymore after the nerfs.His easly game is bad to the point if you screw up once you are a dead wight. I mean why pick him when you can pick lux and have a bigger chance to win the game.
It's not about the learning curve.
He was intentionally nerfed to prevent him from being the champion that we see every single game in mid. He was quite frankly too powerful when played at the highest level. He is now extremely high skill cap for minimal reward in order to discourage every game having an Azir. They are going to need to take time to figure out changes to him, but for now, they are just getting rid of him so that world's does not have an Azir every game.
