I think so much of the balancing issues with that champion come from his slow.
People complain he does so much damage yet how much of that damage is because the slow that keeps you within the soldiers range?
Many of his issues could be solved imo if his Q slow was looked into. At the very least I would reconsider his ability to refresh the slow.
Shrek Luigi2 votesWho is saying his kit needs to be 'solved'? His winrate across the board is 50% or less, and has been that way for the majority of his post-adjustment history.
Oakleaf Ranger1 votesIf that is the case then why besides a health buff has everything post his mini rework been nerfs.
Don’t just throw out win rates without context.
His mini rework didn’t solve his meta or trash dilemma and seems to be on the path of being nerfed to trash again.
The rework might have helped somewhat with this but I don’t think it was enough. I think nerfing or removing his Q slow might actually be enough to fix this constant problem for him.
Of course he will probably have to be compensated a bit if the slow is removed but unlikely if it’s just nerfed.
KlydeFrog1 votespeople are morons and dont get the one item that counters him.....cough cough adaptive helm cough cough.
Oakleaf Ranger1 votesIt’s not just his damage. There are other champions who can match or surpass his damage mid to late game. It’s because Azir when played well still lacks too much counter play. He can wall you, dash away from you, kite/slow you, and apply sustained damage to you from quite a range. And that’s just himself, combined with another champion, in particular wardens or enchanters and trying to touch him becomes next to impossible.
Personally I don’t that as a issue since there are plenty of other champions who get crazy strong mid to late game like him. My problem is that he still gets this strong post mini rework while maintaining his strong early game. He still does just too much of everything well. Nerfing a strong part of his utility (unlike that move speed bonus from ultimate lul) might actually fix him. If he wants that utility back he still has the option to build rylias at the cost of a more damage efficient build and bigger power spikes.
KlydeFrog1 votesthey took his knock up away off his shield and you would be surprised at how many people forget about adaptive helm agasint him and teemo. mr and hp and cd with a passive that adds more damage reduction. yes a soldier attack is a spell not a aa basic.... you would be surprsied at how many people do not know this
Oakleaf Ranger1 votesIf azir is being balanced around high elo, do you think people’s game knowledge there is insufficient to take this into account? His kit is still just too good at all stages of the game.
