I really hate Azir

Actually this isn't a complaint about his current power level. The problem I have is I have no idea if anything people say about him is true or not. He's too obscure. Not that many people are competent with him. Every time he gets changed there are people saying things like either he's too strong or he's unplayable trash. It's impossible to tell if anything is true or not.

So I go look at his changelog and I have no idea what I'm looking at. I don't have the faintest idea what the changes actually did to him.

How does Riot maintain a champion like that? Well I guess they don't if his patch history, winrate and playrate history say anything.

I just think his kit is a little "too" over loaded.

Untargetable sentries Can move sentries Sentries do hella dmg Can jump to sentries Can resurrect a turret temporarily Knockup path blocking ult Shield Ranged scales off of Attack speed Very long range poke

I agree, but it takes skill and time to master azir - quite similar to yas

Yasuo is one of the most popular champions though.

Your point? I was just comparing how they both have op kits but that it's hard to master them to reach their potential....

How is that overloaded? Most of the stuff you listed is just weird ways of accomplishing basic mobility and damage.

Anyway you can't just list off what a champion does and call that an analysis of their balance level. You need sufficient playtesting to determine that.

I've played Azir plenty..do you want me to throw in his ability to zip through walls too? or "drift" with his soldiers lol, Azir is super super versatile and flexible with his kit, which makes it over loaded...theres a lot that he can throw out. When I say hes overloaded I dont just mean his basic abilities. i mean his capabilities... if you're melee you most like will not touch him, or if you do you are in for a hell of a time and the engagement wont last long because either youll die, or youll retreat, in which he can shoot a soldier ahead of you and blast you back with ult. Azir is overloaded in the sense of capability. how much have you played azir?

Hes completely overpowered atm.

His play rate more than tripled and his win rate is rising every day.

For a high skillcap champ to instantly shot to 53% win rate with a huge playrate increase means hes completely busted if you understand how numbers work.

I've seen this logic but it's not a direct observation of his effects on the game.

And really the point I'm making is how unmaintainable he is in the long term. Not whether he's powerful now.
