RIP Azir

meanwhile zed is getting ignored

Every time I have to face Azir, I die inside, but this?

This is exactly NOT what is, or ever was, problematic about Azir.

Mother of god, this is an actual Olafing right here. I think they're trying to overkill nerf him until he gets reworked or something. I mean, if this doesn't make him completely unviable, he needs to be at the top of the rework list instantly.

As someone who likes playing melees, I wouldn't mind seeing some Azir nerfs. But removing his tower damage, allied movespeed, and gutting his wall duration, jesus christ. Seems like Riot has no idea what to do with him.

Azir player here: I love him death. I love swishing all over the map kicking ass and taking names. Sure he's oppressive, but he falters if you don't know what you're doing with him. Those ult nerfs are outrageous. That is hardly what his problem is. I'm willing to compromise and say, perhaps don't mess with the duration if you're going to take away the ms buff and the pin. If you just want to mess with the duration, give us the pin back and don't touch the ms buff. Its really simple. Yes Azir is oppressive in the right hands, gutting his ult is not going to fix that, he's just going to be unplayable. Nerfing his ult is ok, but these are not nerfs.

Normally I don't comment on any of the balance changes, but this is trash. Especially since Zed is allowed to exist the way he is.

I hate fighting Azir, but this just makes no sense :O If anything it'd make more sense thematic wise to get rid of the knock back instead of the wall.

Not that I'm saying these nerfs are a good thing, but the last time Azir had a semi big nerf (removing the knock-up on his E) didn't Azir players panic like this as well, you know saying he's dead and all that.

Although I do agree that this is not the right way to nerf Azir.

yeah they tend to do that to him

They should have just increased the CD on his Q. Gives him too much early game lane presence with how fast it can be spammed.

Good taht stupid wall is stupid, Jarvan's walls need buffs.
