@ Riot Gyspsylord/Meddler, why not give Azir scaling ranges?
Azir's biggest problem is that you cant really punish his early game, and since he is a Hypercarry mage you should be able punish before he actually gets his items. Its good that you guys know this and want to fix it but the problem is that either his range or Shurima Shuffle will get cut in the process. Honestly I hate both those options so I want to try to get a third option on the table: making his range scale. Make his q range scale with rank, and his soldiers attack ranges could be by w rank or champion level. Then you could actually decrease his early game safety and allow him to still have his range, Shurima Shuffle and hyper carry potential late game while opening up more ways to beat Azir. I know Gypsylord said that it would be a tough pill to swallow, but I feel there could still be things riot hasn't tried yet before they potentially do something to kill Azir for a ton of his players.
