Azir Has Got To Be...

Jayce Top··2 votes·490 views

The worst champion I have ever bought. The only champions ive ever regretted buying when it comes to their damage is Kayn (Before buff), Urgot (after rework), and now Azir.

Azir's damage early game is fairly decent, but mid game is just absolutely useless. Nowadays almost all games end during the mid game section.

Azirs Q decent, but nothing special, his W his his specialty, which is basically just auto attacks. You can literally build Critical Strike instead and your autos will do more damage than both soldiers combined. So theres no point in the soldiers when their damage is useless.

"But the point of soldiers is so azir doesnt have to put himself in danger." Meanwhile Azir has to be 2 feet away from the soldiers or they wont auto attack. Making it not hard at all to just dive Azir. "But Azir can just Q+E away with his soldiers if they dive Azir". His E stops if Azir touches an enemy, hes super easy to dive.

Azirs ult is a huge cooldown for a mage compared to someone like Lux, Kat, Orianna. And Azirs ult isnt even that special unlike Ori's and Lux.

Buff this champion, I regret buying him. I even looked at Faker's account to see how he is with Azir, and hes running a 24% winrate with Azir with about 22 games played. On OP.GG his winrate is 47%.

... you say Kayn, Urgot and Azir do no damage?

You're playing them wrong then. :P

If you want advice, I play all three.

Kayn doesnt have damage?

Well at least I know I don't have to read the rest of this

I meant when he first came out.

Knowing when to shuffle and knowing how to multi-manage your soldiers is what makes azir so difficult of a champion. His mid-game is supposed to be bad but it is not horrendous and when it comes to damage he is a monster late game. If you want to continue to play azir i recommend working on farming early game once you get nashors and rylais you should be pretty strong 10+ is where the buffs kick in.

Most games dont even make it to late game. I know hes strong late game, just like Kayle. But getting there is the hard part.

Azir is imo a item reliant champion that's what makes him so strong.

Kayn does decent damage in my opinion.

Meant before his buffs.

You bought one of the worst champions in the game. What did you expect? You've probably been sleeping under a rock for the past couple of months now or else you'd know that he's currently in the process of being reworked. If he's still weak after his rework, then they'll probably buff him but I highly doubt they'll make any balance changes to him until his rework is released. You can refund him using one of your 3 lifetime refunds that each player gets if you dislike him that much. I'd otherwise recommend you do your research before purchasing champions in the future (especially if you purchase them using RP) if you don't have any of your refunds left.

Ive been in the hospital for the past 3 weeks for surgery. So I guess i was sleeping under a rock.

But im excited for his rework. I like Azirs kit a lot, its just too weak to play with. If it was a little stronger then id probably main him instead of Jayce. Just wish his soldiers could do more than auto attacking.

I get it, trust me. He's one of the only mages I actually like playing. Speaking realistically though, it's unlikely that he'll receive any buffs until his rework is released.

You are correct.

Azir is a solid bully in lane. He has a really weak mid-game, And then becomes a powerful hyper-carry late-game.

Nowadays almost all games end during the mid game section.

That particular point is a problem with the game, not with Azir. Towers are too weak. Mountain Drake and Rift Herald are too influential. But, yes, you do make a good point.

Azir makes me sad :( His original design was soooo awesome.
