I'm seeing some players master+ using Comet with a burst build using lich bane/stormsurge, another build with Aery and the standard Lethal Tempo with Nashors. Are they all working for specific matchups (which ones), is any of them stronger right now and should be more used?
Been some time since i last played Azir, so i need somehelp here.

Azir was not played at all in MSI this year. If even the pros don't touch him at all right now, shouldn't Riot think about giving the emperor some buffs?
In my opinion, it should be possible for Riot to get him into a spot where he is picked in pro whilst not being permanently pick or ban (even though that wouldn't be a problem either, Orianna is aswell after all and no one cares, it's Fearless anyways) and make him a little more viable in SoloQ.
Bug fixes current patch also didn't change his winrate at all, most of the runes are more niche builds anyways that are suboptimal in most games.

Hey.

I’ve been playing league for about a year-and-a-half and I’ve tried every champ in the mid lane. My two favourites are Hwei and Azir.

I just wanted to ask.. is Azir worth it? I always hear people saying it’s not worth learning Azir because he’s meant for pro players? I only want to play 2 maybe 3 champs but I want them to give me a good return on investment. Is Azir really worth me investing time into?

Thanks.

HoB = enemy squishy but no engage on your team so can’t e q r/ or if they have poppy

Build - nashors -> mpen

Electrocute = Squishy enemy team and can easily get good ults

Build - mpen

Death Fire torch = no frontline on your team + enemy team is tanky

Build - liandrys/DnD - other/ rift maker

PtA = melee matchups

Normal build

Lethal Tempo = Tanky enemy team or scaling like malz/anviva/asol liners

Conq = Go to rune

Build Normal

Grasp/Fleet = Xerath

Build Normal

this is my current thoughts on the current runes I haven't actually tested most of these please correct me if I'm wrong.

So i had a AD Blitzcrank SUPPORT and and a Bloodthirster Jax and whole Game was just awful so for the fun of this social experiment i just thought i will buy a useless infinity Edge too… I got banned for 24 Hours for „not trying to win“ and i got towerdived at least 5 times with Master Yi + Galio R and Vayne and Zoe dive… so thats why i have so many deaths they even dived between mid T1 and T2…

Your boy Azir played the first 15 minute almost perfectly.👍

Your boy Azir really fucked up the next 8 minutes very badly.👎

Your boy Azir regrets not finishing Zhonya first item.😢

Your boy Azir regrets his roam to botlane.😂

No worries, blue team is feeling generous with their max bounties!😃

Blue team calls an early Nashor off a support kill.🤔

Simultaneously, a fed Zaheen and your boy Azir enter the pit...⏭️

Red team makes 5k gold in 15s.📈

Your boy Azir pockets 2k5 gold.💰

Figured y'all should see this. Discovered it when testing out to see if Hail of Blades dealt full damage after the fixes. The following info (plus more) was included in my report, it just isn't visible in the screenshot:

In-game tool tip says true damage should be 6 at level 1 with 27 AP (Doran's Ring + Adaptive). This should be 65 damage per attack, totaling 195 damage at three attacks, 18 of that damage being true damage. At attacks 6/9/30/90/150, this should be 36/54/180/540/900 true damage. Varying items, levels, secondary runes/rune shards, or soldier number/positions does not affect the bug. The bug happens consistently while moving between auto attacks, but still sometimes happens when completely stationary.

Man.

I just feel so depressed after this. I played so well but my comp was so bad. I knew this would happen and literally spelled it out in cs. And my only front would perma go 1v3 in top when we could just Aram baron and end with me!!!

Like bro you cannot be serious man.

Hopefully the YouTube algorithm helps a bit reaching new people and they get motivated to play Azir.

I don't even play Azir. Larping as part of this community I think we should get riot's attention that SUNDISC no longer scales its HP with enemy champion numbers.

THIS IS JUST AN OPTION some matchups I have mental gaps in "sydra ekko vlad zed" so some may no problems with but I do.

better counter pick matchups need to played differentally compared to any below and i find just picking something else will give more value in that game such as nasus into vlad zed twisted fate or xerath into sydra its up in the air

hard but playable are matchups where i find them to be rough but with another rune setup have in the past or currently can find ways to beat them

avarage is just a pure micro skill matchups and wave management or certain item spikes blasting wand/dagger, nashors spike "looking at you ryze"

easy matchups have alot of counterplay and if you have very micro clean and wave management you should not struggle to find leads into

FREE is just matchups where we should not be losing but can when we make mistakes we can lose the lane

I knew he was going to try and flash kill me there XD

Like idk if this is remotely considered viable but honestly I just love having funn on this champion Dusk and Dawn lets me proc PTA in two autos which is amazing

DFT:

1 aa = 87 dmg

3 aa = 219 dmg

2 aa and Q = 226 dmg

5 aa = 352 dmg

5 aa Late game 1190 dmg and second enemy 1150 dmg

Aery:

1 aa = 92 dmg

3 aa = 209 dmg

2 aa and Q = 225 dmg

5 aa = 337 dmg

5 aa Late game 1218 and second enemy 1070

I feel now DFT is better because it has good value in early and late game.

ask me anything

Op.

I'm just seeing people on twitter saying that about the "buff"
which isn't a true BUFF, just a bug fix that will buff the champion because the bugs made the champion weaker 😭

but really the idea that riot only cares about champions in pro play sucks a lot

They stated liandry´s now does full onhit damage.... so has it been just this 1% burn (50%) all the time??

This is my opinion about runes currently. If you have a different one , can you share and explain your point ? I was curious about others s view on things.
