If you see him pick, select an all in champ that can blink or jump on him with a click. His soldier radius is so small now and he can only deal AA dmg with his soldier. You should win trade everytime when you get out of his circle fast enough or never in it at all. You should beat him with ease pre....first 5v5

He will use Q, but it's a projectile which is not that fast and as quite a long cooldown.

Pick a Talon, pantheon, xin, irelia, J4, Fizz, Leblanc. These guys are a nightmare to him.

Don't believe me? Keep spamming Azir and you will know what he does.

Non jumping champ like Mal, Viktor, xerath, zigg can work too.

Now ban something else pls.

I think they nerfed him too hard with the soldier nerf, now their radius is so small that you have to cast the soldier right on top of a target or hope that theres something to launch the AA off of within range of the soldier so u can hit the champion behind them. He's still a good harass champion because thats what his kit revolves around. Azir has little to no all in potential other than W-Q-E to stun and R away from safety, which though annoying will not be fatal until late game (unless u get shoved into his tower). His full combo without landing an AA will deal 150% of his AP in damage, without follow up stabs. The issue is now that those follow up stabs are hard to get since people need to be on top of soldiers to get stabbed. I get that his laning was somewhat oppressive with how much he could harass but Xerath has a similar play pattern with more CC and less mobility (Azir's mobility is conditional conditional mobility too since people can body block him). The change I would have made to the soldiers is to reduce their 'ready' range. Azir soldiers have a range at which they will stand at attention and not be used to AA, then they have the distance where they will get their spear down to get ready to stab. Reducing this range to something that is greater than Azir's normal AA range but not as far as it is now would go towards reducing his bully capabilities, versus reducing his soldier target acquisition range which makes him feel clunky now

they really should have made their range go up with points in W

they could have left everything else the same and he would have been fine, it would have forced you to level W first
