It's still early days. We haven't seen that many games but Azir seems to be completely back as one of the main champions in the meta.

I don't really buy into the diversity arguments because I think what is causing low diversity more than anything is how everyone takes TP mid so no one can be punished.

I think the problem with Azir isn't really that related to lack of diversity. Instead I think the problem with Azir is that it's pretty damn unsatisfying to permanently watch this champion thas is:

• Decent in lane

• Scales really well

• Is mobile and safe

• Has strong on-demand engage

• Has strong on-demand disengange

It's just way, way, way too much. We have a champion here that has a presence in lane, has great gamewinning engage potential AND can serve as a backline hard-carry.

This is a game about characters with specific kits that excel at very different things. When you have a character like this in the game, it just feels so fucking weird.

I think Riot needs to just be brave and actuall address the issues. Azir needs some of his things removed and then you can buff him in other areas where he will get to excel more.

For example, I don't think Azir should both be an amazing engager and gank-setup champion AND a hyper-scaler DPS carry champion.

If we want Azir to be a Shurima Shuffle highlight reel, fine, but then he cannot be this giga 1v9 carry late game like he is now. It's just too damn much.
