Azir's Q got "Nerfed"?

Was playing Azir when he came out, and now playing him today, and the range of his Q is definitely more clear, but it's insanely shorter. i'm not sure if this is how Riot intended for his Q to be, but it is much more of a struggle to fight in team fights, and harass in lane, now that the Q range is a small semi circle around Azir. Thoughts?

I don't think the range ever actually changed. It's just now you can't click out of the range and walk up to it

Honestly, Riot's development of Azir has been so inconsistent, I returned him today after 3 weeks. Bought Braum, Jayce, and Xerath Much happier

Yes, I believe this must be a bug. You can no longer send sand soldiers beyond your own range bubble, which totally breaks/changes how Azir is played. I've commented in other threads, and filed a bug report in the mega bug thread.

This change was not mentioned in the patch notes, so I believe it to be a bug. The range DEFINITELY DID change. Drastically.

Changes gameplay from a ranged/pursuit to an entrapment/having to be in the middle of team fights, which is deadly for the squishy bird.

It's taken a while for people to speak up about this since the patch, which makes me wonder how many others actually play Azir...
