Think about it:
Passive: Sets up a guard post at a destroyed turret W: Calls for backup Q: Orders all cops in the area to guard an area E: Azir himself either retreats to the backline, or he rushes in himself with a big Riot shield and he knocks up enemies to incapacitate them R: Cops rush in to quickly push back the angry mob (enemy champs) and set up a barrier, blocking off the street (lane)
It can work so well.
Flying Buntcake5 votesPure genius idea right here!
Make the soldiers look like other officer champions. Officer Vi Officer Caitlyn Riot Kayle Riot Blitzcrank Riot K-9 Nasus Riot Squad Singed Riot Tristana
Riot could make these rotate every time you make a sand soldier/ officer. bOOM
John Berserk3 votesThat wouldn't look right though if one/four of those happen to be on your team..
Flying Buntcake2 votesJust make it super obvious that they're sand figures
Iron Spatula1 votesOMG YES.... After looking at the reveal I already decided to grab the skin bundle.... this would just make my day!
Wasabo1 votesIt;s already galactic azir
John Berserk2 votesI know, I don't mean for a release skin, I just meant later on down the line. :P
Lilinae1 votesHahaha, love the idea.
Ironclad Dragon1 votesRiot Azir? Why not. Commissioner Azir, it is.
Täløn1 votesThere's so much they can do with this amazing champion. I honestly believe that, in the future, the skins for this guy will be the best out of of every other champs purely because of the spells he can use. There's so much cool things you could do. Like you could do a roman type skin where he yells "shield formation!" etc,.
Hoping I get real good with this champ because this is the champion i've been waiting ages for to be released. I shall make it my main.
datfaticecream1 votesThe ult can be holding riot shields while the q has siren sounds when the soldiers rush like riot blitzcrank when he uses w or e

There is no knockup.

RIGed5 votesReally dude? Then by this logic they're already doing that. Nasus resides in the desert of shumera and very clearly resembles the Egyptian god Anubis, and yet he has a skin Riot K-9 Nasus. So if we already have one "Egyptian God" police skin why would another suddenly cause outrage of imply "promoting corrupt police"? I bet you think that since they released an assassin summoner icon that riot is promoting and supporting assassinating people too right?
AlbaNocte2 votes@RIGed Very good counter argument, nothing to add
DaeJ1 votesMan, I quit 3 years ago... and just got back to this. I received a lot of hate for my comment, so I'd just like to explain a bit of my reasoning.
@RIGed does have some very solid points. Yes, K-9 Nasus is already out there. Yes, he is also a symbol of Ancient Egypt. However Riot only used Nasus because of his canine attributes which resembles the k9 (canine police dog). This goes well with "The Curator of Sands" role as a guardian pet meant for protection. In addition, it was released with the Riot theme collection (which is more of a play on words for the company name).
On the other hand, Azir is not a bodyguard but "The Emperor of Sands", symbolizing dictatorship of the middle east. By itself, Azir is fine as it plays on the great Egyptian Empire thousands of years ago. However, modernizing it with the release of a 'Chief of Police' skin would not be part of a punny Riot theme, but rather singularly promote Police Empowerment. If you read up on the Arab Spring, most of the Middle Eastern (Egypt included) citizens risked their lives to protest against the corrupt tyrannic governments. In fact, it was all started by the suicide of Mohamed Bouazizi. He was a 26 year old Tunisian street vendor that was targeted, brutally assaulted, humiliated, and robbed by police throughout his lifetime. He tried going to the government for help but they refused to even see him. The ill treatment of law enforcement there was so bad that he publicly set himself on fire. What kind of shitty law enforcement is so abusive that it makes their citizens actually want to light themselves on fire?
This really hit home to me since I have close Middle-Eastern friends who were victims of all sorts of abuse such as rape. There was no one to help them since the police force/government were infamous for torture of civilians and turning a blind eye. I'm simply trying to put myself in the shoes of the victims/protesters in the middle east. To me, an assassin summoner icon is harmless since it doesn't have side implications. An EMPEROR of Sands being decorated with the CHIEF of Police carries some pretty negative connotations. Find a friend or someone who has lived in Egypt and ask if it would be a good idea to represent an Egyptian Emperor character as the Chief of Police.
