How to make Azir good again but not overpowered

Jajje··3 votes·996 views

Hey Azir is one of the champs with the lowest win rate right now. One of the reasons is that his dmg is too low. But if riot made it so that Azirs soldiers aplayed on hit effects like Wit's End and Nashors Tooth it would be a good buff for him and alowed some new intresting biulds. This would for sure bring gim back into the meta with out overpower him.

Making his soldiers apply Nashor's Tooth on hit would be over powered since he already builds it as his first item.

You build nashors tooth on him because it gives him AP and AS if it would aplay the on hit effect as well it would be really good building it on him but I dont think it would be overpowerd. I think it's what he needs to be back in the meta.

you forgot the fervor of battle abuse bug on azir

exactly my thought and if he built rage blade and wits end and nashors then the on hit build would be nuts with fervor.

maybe make but i feel like he would abuse a on hit build then. Maybe make it so that if he builds ap give his soldiers scale with a/s as he gets more ap or like his soldiers apply a on hit based on his ap or something of the sorts. Because I feel like he would abuse the crap out of fervor if that ever comes back into meta

LOOOOOOL "DMG TOO LOW"

Ahm Azir is one of the highest DPS champions in the game mid to late game. Once he has almost all of his items, his DPS is so high it's litterally going to do 1/3 of an ADC's health..and he usually gets 2-3 hits off before someone can escape his soldier's range.

On hits would be...

Interesting. It would make things like Frozen mallet and rageblade irrotatimg on him.

Regardless, he has more than spent his powerbudget on other stuff.

I say remove his dash, this way we can give him power back as an immobile mage/emperor/commander of his army.

But them we lose the Shuriman Shuffle which is something that he's heavily known for.

I guess it may be too powerful to keep with how the intend to make him function.

I know. :'(

But the Shurima shuffle was a feature that wasn't intended and was in fact encouraged by Riot after they saw how cool it looked.

When you think about it the Shurima Shuffle is honestly a noob trap unless your in a Worlds team.

After all, you're throwing your squishy butt right into the enemy team with the intention of shoving a carry into your team for it to nom.

But usually the carries are in the back, and your dash stops at the first champ hit.

Not to mention the knockup is gone, so quick players can CC you on the way there, then kill you.

Even if you pull it off, you won't scoop the whole team and the people who are left will have a field day with you know that your escape is gone.

Besides, you contribute more if you simply hang pack and poke with soldiers.

If they made it so you could use your from yourself, or from your soldiers, that would allow Azir to do his shuffle, while being relatively immobile.

I wouldnt remove his dash because then that makes it so he only can flash ult and cant reposition behind enemies.

Maybe like reduce the slow on his soldiers so that he can't 3 hit a carry late game and so that carries can get out of his soldiers range but then buff him elsewhere. I think this is a fair trade off

Here's the thing though.

His ult was meant for one thing: emergency peel. The Shurima Shuffle was not intended, but Riot decided to support it.

It's better if you leave the CC to your vanguards while you sit behind the front lines and send your soldiers from behind.

After all, he's the emperor, he shouldn't have to get his hands dirty. Besides, you're essentially handing over a high value carry to the enemy team even if you do it right, because unless they are clumped you will never get them all, and without your dash you are easy food.

I disagree I like using it as an engage tool yes it can be emergency peel but its great to use it to engage and block an exit

The wall duration was nerfed too hard for it to be a useful wall in my opinion.

Mallet and regablade would be bad for azir

Heck even wits end would be bad besides in like 1% scenarios

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

Even if the soldeirs applied onhit effects?

Poske1 votes

Yes mainly because the AD stat is wasted and Nashoor tooth should give enough attackspeed for azir on its own.

I'm not sure why they don't just add back the knockup from his e that they took away on his first nerf. Honestly retarded that they kept this change after nerfing him to the ground with damage and how fast he could take towers. Revert the e change and he'll see play again.
