Dem Azir nerfs

{quoted}

I think the knock up was a pretty important part of Azir's kit. It is a shame that they removed it. Much harder to land the E+Q+ult combo now since people flash or run away when they see you coming in. Sometime they even stun when you landed. I honestly do think this is the wrong nerf to azir. They should reconsider reverting the nerf and nerf something else.

That combo was bad for Azir's power budget. I made him about jumping on people and blowing them up, instead of rewarding smart positioning and Area Denial. Since they made the bonus AS on the W start at 20%, at lvl 1, you have more bonus AS now then "pre-nerf". Now I, insead of Maxing Q first, I only put 2-3 points in it during laning phase and then Max his W ASAP to get the 60% attack speed [Higher than the max 50% bonus AS from CDR that his old passive had]. Since I don't have to worry about CDR as much, I can just rush a Chalice, then finish a Rabadon's + Luden's and get people to 50% health with 3 spear attacks.

The more I look at it, that "Hard Nerf" may have actually been a nice buff.
