After watching NA LCS today, Azir has a 66% winrate, 80% pick/ban rate.

Azir NEEDS nerfs. Plain and simple. Whether it be an increase in mana costs across the board, increased cooldowns or reduction in burst/DPS, something needs to be done. He's crowding up picks in the midlane. I can't help but feel pity for the team going against Azir and getting poked down from 1200 range without being able to retaliate.

As pro players are rocking it with Azir and anyone below Master experiences terrible win rate... Seems Legit to nerf some more.

Hell no. If Azir was balanced around LCS he's going to end up like Kalista. The truth of the matter is the players you are going to be playing against wont have half the mechanic skill of challenger players and the team wont have 1/10th of the coordination

Because Pros are able to use his kit to the highest potential, of course they put a priority on getting that pick. Don't use LCS to justify that a champion needs nerfs, and maybe instead look at someone like Malzahar or Jhin, who have crazy high win ratios throughout all elo's.

Honestly in my plat Elo azir is a constant bann in my book. The champ does too much.

You in ranged distance? k azir will kill you W-Q-auto-auto you're dead

You in melee distance? k azir will kill you R-W- auto auto you're dead

You closed the gap again? k azir will run from you Q-E-W-Auto-auto you're dead

you're an assasin? k zhonyas

facepalm Not this shit again. People are so desperate to repwhore holy shit.

Azir is literally one of the worst mid picks for the ABSOLUTE VAST MAJORITY OF PLAYERS.

He doesn't need nerfs, exactly.

What he needs is a rework to make his much less ridiculously extreme based on player skill.

...That rework would probably involve decreasing his range, to be honest.
