Is Azir even worth playing anymore?
I know he got slapped in the face by riot but i dont know if hes worth playing anymore. I didnt play him very much but i wanted to learn him and before i could he got nerfed badly.

He can still be strong, but I think Orianna is definitively better than him right now for filling a similar role.
The soldier attack range was an important quality of life buff, and he feels playable now, but he's seriously lacking in burst damage and his W-auto range doesn't really feel long enough to justify the fact that he's almost entirely reliant on sustained damage now.
He's not like an ADC that can kite back while he autos - his soldiers are stationary for seconds at a time which means that he's essentially tied to a spot for as long as he wants to deal damage. He made up for this with big burst on Q in the past, but now a lot of oomph has been taken out of that.
He's still playable but he is outclassed at the moment. I played Azir ALOT like 13 games in a row at one time but now he just doesn't feel as good as he did. AA is off and i'm getting ryze tier stutter stepping trying to get into range to do anything. He can still be strong and fun though...
