This video brings to light that the champion concept for Azir had come out some time ago (its a small part of the video). No need to down-vote this before you even watch it.

Hey Riot, this might be a bit late but me and my friend, UltimateGargoyle, came up with an Azir skin that you might like (and I'm sure many others will too). How about a Dragonslayer Azir skin. He can fit in the role of a mid lane Dragonslayer. Here's the details:His Passive, Disc of the Sun, makes Dragon Statues that breath fire as turret shots. His W, Arise!, summons ghost drakes of past dragons slain by dragonslayers; these are made of ashes and they return to ashes just as the sand soldiers return to sand. His Q, Conquering Sands, does the same only with the drake ghosts. His E, Shifting Sands, is also the usual only he leaves some embers behind him (just for decoration, they don't damage). His R, Emperor's Divide, summons ghost drakes that use their wings to shield and block enemies instead of soldiers with shields. For the skin design itself His armor should be of a golden color (since all Dragonslayers use different color schemes, plus it fits his Shuriman theme, have a dragon head helmet. His scepter could be a thin dragon tail that leads up to dragon claws. And the ribbons Azir has on his arms could be dragon scales. Please consider this Riot, it would be perfect to make an entire team of Dragonslayers (plus the fact that me and my friend really wanna see this awesomeness made into reality, and I'm sure many other players do too now that we put it out there).

Also Gnar came out 8 days after his Q&A if that helps.

SDKaz1 votes

But they also said Gnar was a special case for how long it took to get him out

I their any limit to how far he can command his sand soldiers to attack?

Jump7182 votes

Yes, each soldier has a "tether" of sorts, to Azir. This tether will break if he walks too far away.

Hopefully the hatred part of the lore community won't be assholes.

did the bug where azir did 2000 true damage get fixed or does he need to be permabanned for a while?

gigagurdur1 votes

is it just me or would this guy be one %$#@ of a jungler?

Umbral Light1 votes

First time I read his abilities I thought "Hmm... He could be a good mid laner... And an amazing jungler!!!" Seriously though, Azir will most likely be for jungling rather than mid from what I think with how his abilities are good for fighting from afar and sanwiching enemies with his ult and maybe his passive.

Skaypegote1 votes

I couldn't see Azir jungling, I mean, I suppose it's possible, but It doesn't seem right since his soldiers are untargetable, the monsters are just going to walk right up to you and smack you in the face. So when Arise is active, that soldier is your auto attack, the monster walks past it, now your eating face shots. Just saying. I could see him ADC/Mid/ possible support personally.

Umbral Light1 votes

Well honestly that what I mostly see him as, his soldiers being untargetable makes it so they can't be killed, his passive (or his ult) is greaat for sandwiching opponents at the right moment and maybe use his ult to push enemies to your turret (the newly built one or your bot turret team side turret) or to protect yourself from enemies when their following you into the jugle or even usse his E for escaping. In any case I see him as a jungler more than anything.

Not sure if this goes along with the Q&A, but since it's the same patch, how do we earn all of the Shurima icons?

I know Azir can use Nash. Tooth.. And I know he doesnt scale AD (as far as his soldier AA) BUT does the 8% current health from BOTRK work with Azir??
