My opinion on how to make Azir's playstyle better

Too Ton·Dec 25, 2014·1 votes·416 views

After playing him for one day I realized that his W Q feels slightly laggy. Either make it faster to make it seem less laggy or extend q range. For example when trying to get away, w q e. However it is so slow when you have tier 2 boots you might as well walk it unless you go through a wall. To fix the problem, either extend the range on q, increase the speed on the execution of his moves, or something else.

It would also be nice but not needed to have his soldiers scale in how long they last. If the enemy doesn't stop you, you could have a lot more soldiers to pull off more tricks. In addition, Azir would be gated by whatever mana he has so he can't infinitly spawn soldiers.

Azir has the potential if this fix comes through to pull of insane combos and be a threat.

He's already a threat and has extremely safe harass in WQ auto. Giving him an even faster WQ makes dodging or trying to avoid it almost impossible, which is not good.

Also, let's not give Azir even more soldiers up more often, k? It's hard enough to try and get him as is.

Does his w q not feel laggy to you? no delay to you? Adding onto that, isn't zed basically like that too with his shuriken poke? It is fast and he is energy based meaning he can spam it more, especially during the laning phase. Lux's poke is also arguably faster although she is mana based too. Unlike other mid champions, Azir's kill potential in laning (not late) is not that high barring you take ignite instead of exhaust or barrier.

Yes, it is not instant. This is because he already has huge sustained damage and an extremely easy to land poke skill that makes him already great at harassing and zoning.

Otherwise, I absolutely hate Zed, but his shurikens don't poke you every .75 seconds while slowing you. For Lux, she is entirely skillshot reliant and has to land her Q to get her combo off, and has significant cooldowns before she can attack again.
