Any PBE players? How does Nerfed Azir play?

Because I want to know if I should quit and wait until buffs on Azir or continue playing him.

What's his general build now?

I'm getting downvoted for asking a question?

Look at the C9 Vs CLG game and you'll understand why the PBE nerfs are not nearly enough. It was the biggest joke of a game I've seen since TSM won their first finals Vs C9 using the abomination that was Tristana back then.

Azir on the PBE is still too strong.

They removed CC that he wasn't using anyway and compensated him buffing his early game (as if he fucking needed it)

PBE Azir main here, I feel that they really gutted what made him fun (removing the ability to use E offensively unless you do some really impressive soldier tricks) I'm glad that they nerfed his Q though because I've always believed that's not where his damage should lie, the Q should just be a soldier reposition.

What I'm hoping is that they play more to this strength by buffing soldier damage to compensate for lost Q damage (until late game the damage output is just pitiful) and they make E viable offensively and maybe make it work to less of a get-out-of-jail free card.

He isn't much worse but it will take a lot of play to get used to. Sadly you can't really all in anymore and you can't do the crazy insec initiations anymore. If you like him continue playing him.

Edit: build is the same item 3165 item 3157 item 3089 item 3135 item 3020 + another ap or defensive item.
