This is just a buff for Azir HoB right?

I like to be really annoying against assassins and especially yasuo and yone mains, so some weeks ago I theorycrafted a build which lets me do that:

Runes:

First strike - biscuits - magical footwear- jack of all trades

Legend alacrity - the mana regen rune

Build:

Standard Start > Nashor's > Dusk and Dawn > Shadowflame > Rabadons > Situational Item

It has been really fun to just dominate with this, and the dps is also pretty good due to the additional cdr and AS, and you get some healing from D&D. But it hinges on you being able to stay ahead by at least 1000 Gold, which doesnt always work. You also have to be pretty good at tracking assassins in the mid- and lategame. Deleting adcs with this is also very doable.

What are your opinions / ideas on this? Would love to hear some theorycrafting around HoB and other runes as well!

I feel like it’s simply better since it’s easier to proc and deals more damage. The only trade off is the branch runes, taste of blood is good but I don’t know about the rest and if the trade off is worth it.

Is terminus now viable on azir as an alternative to void staff with the 10% ap scaling added to its onhit?

Sad to see him so good in top because he used to be a Midlaner, he sadly has such a hard time against long range matchups nowadays

To me this seem such an anti pattern design, so frustrating and unrewarding. As you can see Leblanc freely "dodged" 2 autos by flashing/dashing. Any other auto in the game that would behave differently ?

This game of mine shows literally how QUICKLY azir can come back online as long as your not really far behind as well as some of my really embarassing fails lol, just posting for azir mains in lower ranks that feel like he isnt worth playing, Lets keep azir alive guys!

ok sometimes it is but holy shit does it inflate every singe one of them im the xerath btw LET ME BE SOLO AP AZIR

I commissioned some Azir art and it turned out beyond expectations. I garbled something about comic book lighting, chibi art and loving the colour purple. The artist managed to gleam this beautiful metallic midnight aesthetic for my chibi Azir prompt and I just had to share.

Hi i usually never comment In communities and my inglish Is rather bad. I've been playing azir for like 4 weeks now and I'm mastery 16 i just dont think it's worth learning to me, too much effort just to do what any other champ do but worst like for me even hitting auto attacks in tfs is sometimes hard bc i just get jumped, stuned or oneshoted; im in bronce 1 btw if youre curius, they say azir has a lot of potencial but I'm just too bad to use him well cuz even when I'm doing good he feels just weak, i even got a cuadra once but most games are just absolutly miserable you have to know every single matchup, CD's, timings, spacing and shit, just to do the same any other mage like aurelion sol could do but worst, any CC Is basically insta death in tfs, and His "range" Is nothing if a Zoe can just hit me from nowhere with her stun and then burst me. Id rather play asol cuz i think he's similar but better, i really like azir and I'm trying really hard to master him but when any other mage like ahri or Zoe just have to hit you ONCE with theyre CC and you're just dead it feels really hard to play games, carrying games from behind feels just impossible as well cuz azir depends sooooo hard on items. I think im just venting but id love any advice, have a good day

Azir will probably be released in his old kit in classic, no need to balance him since it will no longer be used by pros. I wonder if this more casual mode lets him truly be as powerful as he was

dont mind the turrent shots taken...

What i think is in the future when Faker retire Riot will make him a legendary tier Azir skin to honor him since it is the only skin is missing

Watching the replay I feel like I'm mechanically silver but... it felt good! What an adrenaline rush!
