When Azir is released on live servers, he should replace Xerath in the Ascension game mode.
I think he would make for a harder boss fight compared to Xerath.

IDK, I think he might be a bit harder to script since he's more complicated, and Xerath being the boss makes more sense from a lore standpoint.
More complicated? I don't see how, as it's basically just a doom bot. It would be simple to make a circle of sand soldiers around the Ascension circle with Azir in the center. These soldiers do massive damage, and make it hard to get to Azir. He could jump between random soldiers using his knock up, and the ultimate thrown out in random directions, causing enemies to scatter in an effort to get around them.
It would probably actually be pretty ridiculous and hard to play. I hope they don't so it.
With Baconthong's post about telling a story before his release, this is exactly what I figured would happen. Azir ascends and obliterates Xerath. I just hope we don't have to wait until the Ascension Mode is over before they release Azir.
