we can get another champion with a shurima shuffle style kit, but I don't expect we'll see another long-range proxy-auto apc. I say keep the flavor and mechanics that are most unique and closest tied to him, and shift the removed mechanics into a new champion or into a rework.

Listen here..

If you remove Shurima Shuffle, he'll be balanced, Riot will buff the towers and everything will be better.. But one day you'll stare at the screen and will ask yourself, was it worth it? Really?

Case closed.

Shuffle has to stay. It's a key thing to Azir that makes him cool . taking away his shuffle would be like taking away a taunt from Galio, or shens ult from shen

The shuffle doesn't belong on the kit of a longranged hypercarry. Azir ever having mobility was a huge mistake. He has to lose not just the shuffle but the entire E if his kit is ever to be balancable. Not removing it will just leave him in the exact same spot as he is now.

#RemoveTheShuffle

Shuffle is one of the coolest moves in the game because it requires all four of your skills (sometimes five ), and it's probably the clearest and most visibly rewarding demonstration of mastery. That being said, I just don't think it fits on Azir. Emperors don't dash behind the back line and deliver the enemies to his soldiers; they stay in the back, never wanting to get close to the front. While Shuffle is a gameplay identity that could be kept on Azir, it conflicts with him thematically and his commander gameplay has to suffer too much to make room for it.

I'm torn.

Keep the shuffle because, well, it's fun to get a successful shuffle off.

Or remove the shuffle. I mean I have used my damn ult more often than his E last season.

What Shuffle?

Seriously, although I love the shuffle and E, it's got to go. Imagine if Orianna had a dash instead of shield? Like fuck me that would be cancer. How about Ryze or Cass? Azir's E is really cool but it's an idea that works better on a non-mage champion. His E and the shuffle itself have always crippled Azir in terms of balance. Thematically it's always been a mistake and if they nerf his range, the shuffle won't even be good. It's best to just shoot the main problem dead and work on something else. Kill E in fire and give him another tool. I have always been for another Solider type that could do something. A third soldier would really give that King commanding his troops feel. No steroid, no dash, just another solider that could block, charges, roots, or something. #MakeShurimaGreatAgain

They can keep the soldiers intact because that's what defined Azir's playstyle. Dunno with the shuffle though. Never successfully done it considering my hands aren't fast enough to do it.
