The problem is I think the majority of melee ADs at level 1 can just walk up and kill him.

Yasuo and Riven certainly can.

i thought azir looked strong, but apparently he is just over 35% winrate currently.
Thats quite low even considering people cant play him yet.

His level 1 is just so oppressively garbage.

Basically all he gets at level 1 is a skill that makes his autos do as much damage as the other champions.

He gets a skill that gives him additional range to farm from afar and with AoE damage, that's not bad to farm safely, altough I guess it's not that good at pushing.
What's the soldier's attack range? Casting range is 450 but the wiki doesn't say anything about their range.

Edit: oh right, I didn't scroll all the way to the bottom.

Are you playing in top lane or something? Don't really get it, if they go aggressive on you level one in mid with decent positioning you'll be fine and the lane will push into you. Don't really get how you dying constantly at level 1

I agree, shouldnt he in fact be good vs melees early because his soldier can cover minions while he sits back

And which wiki? http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Azir at least clearly states:

Sand Soldier ATTACK RANGE: 400

Like, okay.

Azir at level 1 has sand soldiers that do around 70 damage depending on your AP. 500 or so HP, 335 movespeed, 26 armor.


A Riven at level 1 has 80-85 AD, 550 or so HP, 345 movespeed, 44 MR.

She also has 150-200 Q damage.


She can literally, I'm not kidding, just walk up and kill you. Yeah you can back away, but you're either going to die at level 1 or get zoned hard.

So far my early games with Azir are absolutely hellish. I get zoned straight from level 1, die to any gank, and never feel like I have any kill or harassment potential.

You've got technically 850 range to last hit. That's 950 casting range. How the heck should you ever be afraid of Riven. Of course she outdamages you, but that'd be like saying "Damn Cait can't do anything versus Darius, he can kill her at level 1".
No, she can just stay back and last hit and push that way and harass a bit, but unless Darius walks past the creep wave (and takes harass to do so) he'd never be able to zone her.

Well yea you play him like any super squishy mage and against a lane bully like Riven you give up some CS in the early game if you have to.

The problem is if they just ignore the minion wave and walk straight at you right at level 1, you have to back away.

If you drop a sand soldier to try to kite them, they just flash on top of you. You can't win the 1v1 with just 1 sand soldier so you have to flash away.


Yes if you just back away you won't die, but then you also won't get at least half of the first minion wave.

I'd be interested in seeing what other peoples experiences are early game. I am getting opponents who just walk right up and try to kill me right at the start of the game, and they're doing pretty well.



It's not like "Cait vs. Darius", it's like Darius vs. Cait who isnt allowed to skill anything at level 1. And has no passive. And less range. And less HP.

I'd say 850 range > 650 range.

That's what you think till you actually go into a game with him and see how awkward it is.

Ehm you walk back to the tower that is right behind you?

Azir in my games seem to die a lot and do little damage. However, even worse is his tower, which is essentially 100 free gold for the enemy.

To add to Azir's shit wagon, I also think that he is not a mid laner, he just doesn't have it in him. I think he is more suitable as a top laner type of RoA 1st item and then going tanky bringing utility, team fight and initiation for the team

Think just need to wait for all the bug and QoL fixes. He seems much in the same boat release lucian was and he is also designed by same guy.

His mid-late game is legitimately good. It just seems really difficult to get him there.

I'd like to see W be a 6 rank ability and have him come with it and able to learn Q or E at level 1, kind of like how they do Nid/Jayce/Elise.

Think about how bad those 3 would be if all they had at 1 was their transform.

By that logic Syndra needs to start with Q prelearned aswell.

That isn't the same logic even a little bit.
