Why is azir getting played/nerfed?

Simpumba··5 votes·482 views

Never see anyone play him, all the sudden he's getting banned and played a lot. What happend? As an azir main, its concering, because when someone plays a champ, he gets attention, then he ends up getting nerfed for being 'Op'

I'm just worried, becuase riot seems to be nerfing skilled champs recently AurelionSol.

What are your thoughts?

Woops I forgot, It's the LoL community, I'll get downvoted for asking a serious question.

hes the best apc in the game. even after the nerfs he will still be the best apc in the game. hes getting nerfed because of pro play and his experienced playerbase mostly

Because he is the best mid laner in the game if played by someone who can play him to a high level.

Too much range, low to no counter play in lane (When he can just chunk you out with Q and an AA you got some messed up champion). Too much utility (gonna close up on me? Slow. Still coming? Use my E. IF you run away now I'm gonna chunk 2/3 of your health with AA. IF you try to come in I'm gonna bump you away aaaand chunk your life or possibly kill you.

His harass is too great with a way too short window of power. They kept nerfing his utility but the main problem is his damage that is off charts.

I mean, he is kayle 2.0. Bigger range bigger AOE and bigger burst (and scaling ASPD in a skill).

Cause he wins the game alone after 25 mins.

While I don't play him a lot (Team Xerath here) I do like Azir and I've been profitable with him since his release bugfest.

Considering how strong he can become while being safe (even if completely shut down in lane) and his pick/ban status in pro play I do agree that he needs some recalibration. I can't quantify if Riot has gone too far or not, I think they went the harsh way in order to make changes to have a sure impact and see how those affect him.
