Champion Feedback: Azir

Having played Azir, we have generated some potentially constructive feed back.

Azir

Presentation:

First off, he should look more like Teemo, all champions should look more like Teemo.

Presented as a mid or top lane champion, his usefulness seems dependent on zone control, his kit allows this play style to come to fruition. His ability to block or otherwise hinder champions to get close to him is exactly what we expected.(Then we played Teemo) This unique champion requires the skill and challenge to play we so crave(Not Teemo, Azir). Good Job. Azir is better than Teemo.

Team Play:

Much like an Emperor Azir has the ability to command and control the battle field, (unlike Teemo). His passive ability Sundisk provides the team aid Azir would otherwise be lacking, the zone control he carries with him allows him to aid his teammates in taking down champions no matter their position. (Teemo has Mushrooms) This said, his presence can otherwise be lacking, (Teemo is very stealthy) while its understandable its his soldiers are to command, Azir himself should be able to do at least some damage, not the Teemo sized he deals now, he is an emperor after all. His Shifting Sands ability while gives him a small shield and a knock-up, while great for escapes is often times useless in a team fight. His lack of health and Armor are can attest to his lacking team fight presence.

Abilities:

We can agree that kit fits this champion well, (Much better than Teemo). His abilities allows him to control his battle field, whether to halt a players aggression, to chase a player down for the kill, out maneuver a player or catch one off guard, his kit works well, mush like Teemo's. It seems he was designed around the use of his soldiers, (unlike Teemo) so our question is why does shifting sand put him right into the thick of the battle? The ability itself seems odd for the way this champion was designed. While it seems great to give him a shield (Teemo doesn't need a shield) he deals little to no damage himself, that and his lack of health and armor doesn't help. (Teemo?)

Our only suggestion might be, instead of just dashing to the soldier, the two trade places?(But not with Teemo) As the name would imply, "shifting sands" The two may trade places and knock up all in their path instead of being halted, and perhaps the shield would no longer be needed,(Mush like Teemo) that said sand should still flow, it may not be water but it's not one giant rock either. (Then there's Teemo)

We hope this has been helpful to any Riot Employee who may read this and wish for continued original Idea's. Hopfully Teemo doesn't read this.)

Thank You,

P.S. Teemo and Azir clearly need to mention something about each other. Their bromance is obvious enough.
