If Riot is really serious about competitive play, Azir NEEDS to be addressed NOW.

He's an absolute monster in competitive and completely dictates the mid lane meta in competitive. He crowds out much of the Mage roster because he's THE BEST AT EVERYTHING.

  1. safe and effective poke? Yep
  2. siege? Yep with passive and 1300 range almost unavoidable poke.
  3. cc? Yep with rylais and wall he can engage/disengage and catch people out with rylais slow.
  4. mobility? Check
  5. burst and sustained damage? You betcha.

He needs to be addressed now. It's retarded at how the balance team beats around the bush with certain champions because of their "playmaking ability and cool LCS BIG PLAYS". The bias is real and it needs to stop.

He was just severely nerfed and Riot has already stated they are looking at him for more nerfs.

In both NA and EU LCS Ryze, Vladimir and Karma have higher pick/ban rates.

And if we look at his stats in plat+ play he doesn't really dominate any statistics. He has low damage, low kills, low assists, low win rate and even higher deaths. The only stat he is decent in is CS.

Yes Azir is strong but he is by no means overpowered. He has very clear areas of power and very clear weakness that tons of players have learned to exploit.

Just report him please, he's been spewing personal attacks to me too in a bunch of other threads, obviously a toxic player.

He's pick or ban in competitive. That's a HUGE issue

Are you past bronze yet?

why would you ask this? All I asked for was some data showing that Azir really was what you said he was. What difference does my rank make?

Still bronze?

Still dependent on personal attacks and hiding behind rank to make a very simple argument?

Hmm? Fizz, Ahri, Syndra, Xerath, Zed, and Ziggs counter him. That's odd i could actually see every one of these champs played in competitive. Despite the fact that he can be banned.

Sigh. Winrate does NOT mean he's balanced at all.

Here it goes again. A brain dead reply

Buddy ryze has a 45% win rate and has been at a 90% bann rate in the current LCS and MSI and SS for a reason.

Does a 45% win rate mean hes ''balanced''? No.

But keep replying you nonranked

Nice strawman but there's a lot more data here than a winrate and banrate...

Maybe actually clarify why the data doesn't match up to your claims instead of using personal attacks?

Or can't you lowly game design pleb.

Remember you're not talking about gameplay right now youre talking about game statistics. Your rank as far as this conversation goes is just as trash as any other fool if you can't even gather meaningful information from what I've given you and are too proud to ask for clarification.
