@Meddler Will you still continue to work on Azir?
I feel Azir is just confused at the moment, he has too many Identities and is too general in everything he does to the point that he could honestly use a rework to iron out his kit a little bit, Azir is basically:
A Siege Mage Teamfight Mage A Lane Bully A Hyper Carry A Zone Mage A Disengager An Engager (You have tried to fix this) Long Range Short Range DPS Mage Burst Mage Mobile Assassin Marksman Bird
I don't know why but something happened in patch 5.3 that changed Azir from his rather healthy playstyle to this... THING that no longer represents the Emperor that I thought I bought, that I though I loved.
From the get-go this is what Azir seemed like to me:
Teamfight Mage Hypercarry Zoner DPS Mage
And honestly this is what I have to say his "Identity" (If you can call it that at the moment) boils down to. I don't think the changes on the PBE have necessarily fixed Azir, and that a LOT of work needs to be done to fix him but keep in mind ITS NOT NERFING HIM he does not need to be Weakened he needs to be Fixed.
