Well done Riot, you destroyed Azir.

42,45% winrate along with Ryze. Pathetic. Are you happy now? Yes, he melted tanks and he still does. But was it too hard to make his ultimate scale duration with level. 3,4,5 seconds on 6/11/16 and not 3 at all levels? That would help. Also, I saw reddit post by Gipsylord(I think) who said that they might remove Shurima Shuffle or cut his range my half. If you do that you know that champion will die and be unplayable and will drop bellow 40% win rate and be in desprate need of rework just like Yorick, Urgot or whatever,

  • Fost, Saltiest Azir main.

Just cause a win rate is lower doesn't mean the champs are bad. Riot themselves have said they don't want all champs to have a high winrate due to balancing. It makes the game better overall.

Uh yeah and then you look at Azir's winrates and then realize he's shit.

Sona x Rubick2 votes

riot said this because win rate depends on the number of people playing the champion, and on his skillcap. that's why sona got buffed while having 53% win rate.

Azir is bad and weak.We already talked.Azir's win rate wasn't high before last nerf but your wrong arguments are annoying.

Considering how difficult he's supposed to be, and how he, as a hyperscaling DPS mage, now has a much deserved weaker early game, and the meta currently doesn't fit hypercarries...yeah, he's kinda fine.

Wait till Riot fixes this fuck-up of a meta and you'll see he isn't all that bad atm.

Astôlfo4 votes

No, not at all. Plat+ players with 125+ games on him still do absolutely shit on average with him. Azir also does absolutely shit on average in games that last past 40+ minutes where he's supposed to be a hyperscaling AP DPS carry.

WoonStruck2 votes

Azir's winrate was low even when he was completely broken.

Whoops, there goes your argument.


Certain champs cannot be 'balanced' for both pro and casual play. Ryze, Vlad, Azir, etc are all clear-cut examples of this.

azir win rate was at 54% above plat ,wtf are u smoking?

Sona x Rubick2 votes

i'm talking about before his nerfs.

Astôlfo3 votes

Which ones? He hasn't been anywhere near 50% WR for even a slightly long time for over the last 2 years. Coincidentally, he's pretty much only been nerfed for the last 2+ years.

azir win rate was extremely high in high elo and when people mastered him, basically what you could hope when you were facing him is that people were bad with him, and that was before his ulti duration nerf.

can you back this up with numbers or statistics please? he has'n broken the 50% ceiling for many patches right now.

Not in over 2 years (except for one brief really small spike to just barely over 50% sometime like almost 1 and a half years ago in Diamond+), to be specific xD

Actually the higher the elo you go. The lower Azirs winrate. Because in higher elo kids don't just sit in his soldiers all day and actually know how to abuse his weaknesses.

He was nearly 50% and got nerfed 3-5 patches ago.

125+ games and 54% is normal.Sona's overall win rate 54% and her mains win rate 58%.

Astôlfo3 votes

And... you're incorrect. Whoops, there goes your attempt at trying to argue.


Azir was very good in LCS. He was also utter shit outside of it. He's been utter shit outside of LCS for over the last 2 years.

Nice try though.

Finally. Good riddance.

Now we can all wait for his rework. Hopefully Riot doesn't mess up completely and totally like with the original kit.

He's needed a total rework since his release, FYI.

he is'n getting reworked, he's just getting benched for worlds, he will get buffed after worlds. Riot already stated roughly a month ago that he was fine in soloqueue but they're still trying to address his competitive, which resulted in the damage scaling changes.

They also stated single-champ reworks and mini-updates are no longer a thing, so a rework for him is'n happening, they said on twitter he's getting a few buffs after worlds, they'r giving him a break from LCS.

People seriously need to stop this bs about Azir being fine and balanced of his skill cap... he is not fine and Riot knows it. He will be addressed at some point because he is absolutely not fine.
