They just game him a minor buff to "hold him off". Chances are he's not going to be as great as he once was, but we're either going to be getting a rework or a major tweak in the future to try and bump him back into the meta.

He actually really strong right now

No he's not. He has the third worst winrate in the entire game lmao.

3rd worst winrate among people with 100+ games and/or Diamond+? He has a really high skill floor so players outside those criteria would skew those stats a lot.

3rd worst winrate with Plat+ players. Azir currently takes so much to get him ramped up that he doesn't hit a decent 48% winrate until you look at games ONLY from a sample size of those that last 40+ minutes.

Does Faker play Azir a ton, yes, therfore, he's at a good spot right now.

Ok, just checked his op.gg.

He has played him twice out of 20 games

I agree that Azir is decent, but your argument with Faker playing "alot" of Azir doesn't pprove anything. Faker is practicing what champs are good and what are shit, for the next LCK tournament

Because of Azir's high skillcap, he can be seen still being picked in professional games. That says something about him. And it's not that he's weak.

he hasn't been picked since he got nerfed

No he hasn't been picked

Well yes he got picked once or twice just right after the nerfs, until they realised he was trash

Of course the best mid laner in the world is going to be able to wreck with Azir. That doesn't mean that Azir is in a healthy spot for the other 99.99% of the players in the game. He barely saw any action in Worlds because he's outclassed as a champion in almost every regard.

I'm not saying Azir is unplayable. I'm saying that he's nowhere near as good as a champion as he should be.

Stop, this graph is outdated and doesn't actually show what the hotfix did. Just wait a bit
