Azir is garbage now, why did you nerf him again?

Still wondering why he got nerfed.

Still wondering why you nerfed his late game if his lane bullying was a problem.

To be honest, as an Azir player, I was completely on-board with nerfing his lane bullying, but the time I was on-board with that, I really thought Riot was going to nerf his lane-bullying. As I think the q changes were good, the turret damage-changes should favor turret damage mid game instead of just completely cutting it down (there's a risk to smashing w on a turret, you know), that nerf was a HUGE smack in the face and completely unnecessary. I say give it another week and see where his power lands, but we need some context. Maybe scale his soldier range, or add a bit back?

Because he was pretty OP, according to both professional players and LCS/LPL commentators.

if so why wasnt he played more? or win more games when he was picked by these professional players?

Maybe because although strong, he had a lot of what's that buzz word they use at riot... counterplay? yeah maybe

Overall i actually agree with some of it, his Q should have been toned down a bit and he could blow up towers like no other late game, but he did not need the range of his soldiers nerfed in the slightest, it was a terrible change and it won't be reverted or fixed because riot can't make mistakes therefore they sure as hell will never admit it was a dumb idea.

Because single champions do not win games, and Ahri was a better pick than Azir.

He was still picked and he still lost... a lot

which should lead to him honestly not needing to be toned down as much as he was.

If the think that the nerfs were justified and they put him in a good spot, actually put some games in with him, 10+ and see how you feel using him. I don't even know how you can give your opinion when you never played him before or after the nerf
