Azir | The Hardest Champion in League

[@middlepyke]

I still think old Asol is the hardest due to his unique playstyle

[@asytippyy352]

Not anymore. Skill creep means that most players high silver and up have the mechanical capacity to pick him up pretty quickly. I think champions that just generally suck (like Zeri) are the hardest to do well on now.

[@tuanatnguyen1900]

well no, if i have to pick i would choose Old Sol (playstyle), Riven (animation cancel) and fiora (0.2 sec ult)

[@marcolobos6749]

No

[@Miziru]

it really depends on the person, really. some people might find animation cancels hard or simply just non-meta champs hard. but objectively, azir is the hardest, this video explained it all, like stat-wise, micro-wise, etc.

[@theogthugcat]

Only the real ones know, they made this video purely cause they wanted to talk more about Faker 😂😂

Azir is the first champ I think of when anyone mentions pro play, he is the face of pro play. It's a minimum requirement at this point that any pro player has to be effecient at the champ to be viable. It also helps that Faker, the face of the game, is an insane Azir player.

[@moxeboy]

This is categorically false. Midlaners havent really had to be great at azir since 2017 there are just straight up better champs. Faker makes the champ look so good cuz he’s faker

[@ParkerBai92]

he lost his status as the face of pro play when he had a 0% pick and ban rate at Worlds this year. Rito gutted him to the point where not even Faker would bother picking him. WEQR PHREAK IS XERATH +4 AD

[@Reia.P]

Knight couldn't play Azir tho

[@icecreamcake5381]

It's not a minimum requirement. People call knight the "best midlaner" and he can't play the champ if his life depended on it.

But Faker who got benched because Easyhoon out shine him on Azir, learn to play it and become the most iconic player to use Azir. Just like his wrist injury, he has the courage to change his mouse grip habit just to keep competitive in the game. He never give up

As an retired azir main with over a million points on him, (i dont play league much anymore) playing Azir effectively essentially carried me from silver up to diamond. At the time, no one knew how to play him will, and because everyone that tried was so bad, no one knew how to play against him. Even when he was bad, he was still so so good in low elo if you knew how to play him well.

[@67mcpo]

To play this character optimally, you had to change ur auto attack binds. He is by far my favourite character to play for mid as you’re consistently learning with him, esp at a macro level. Downside is that Riot devs keep messing his stats with every patch.

I love Azir❤❤❤❤ He looks so dignified and the shuffle is so cool to see🥰🥰🥰

[@Andre000Lucas]

Azir is the best design riot ever created in my eyes The champion is so unique, well balanced, the lore makes you feel cool while playing him, viable for casual and competitive gameplay, has a learning curve that rewards you a ton for investing time in learning him, on top of that, when you playing Azir dont metter how much your team feeds, you always have a feeling that you can still win. All around the best champion in league.

[@jorgelenny47]

One thing I'll add. Low soloQ winrate does not automatically mean that it's impossible to make work in soloQ. It just means that, more often than not, you will completely grief the game than carry, but it doesn't mean the second one won't happen

At the basis, the problem with azir is that he has both constant damage, burst, mobility and long range

[@Moooisme]

This might be controversial comment. if you saw the Faker's play against JDG Ruler, Oner is the one who FLASH into locking Ruler after Faker's ult, and it's ZEUS that finished Ruler. The fact that they follow after Faker's play is the communication. All I want to say is... AZIR works in pro play because they got mic on. While in solo que, they can't comms real time. I played couple of competitive games : Dota 2, Valorant, CSGO, even mobile games like ML and Wild Rift. The only thing that LOL doesn't have in casual competitive games is the feature to use mic in game. That's essential to play like a team in solo queue games. Wild Rift, while at some point got mic, they removed it, idk about now. (Edit: mistyped).

[@Moooisme]

On the contrary side tho, because of this comms things, League E-sport still relevant and might be the one of the most exciting to watch, because we could witness team pro play that couldn't be executed the same way in highest rank games.

cant believe you didnt mention his W could be cast on turrets to do direct damage to them, his E would knock up the first champion Azir hit with it, his R would continue knocking people back if they even got close to the wall of soldiers

[@daname1491]

While I do think that Azir is the hardest champ to master in league. I don't really agree with how you make him sound like it's next to impossible for a non-pro to play him successfully. It's not THAT hard to play him decently. Sure the Shurima Shuffle is quite difficult to do well, but often you don't even need to. Below diamond his ult is often just used defensively, like an Anivia wall that does damage.

[@takumiyoshimoto9542]

Azir is not the hardest NOW but he was before. Azir was the OG champion with essays in their skill but lately most champion release have that. He has a fairly high learning curve but overcome that floor and you already basically play at somewhat same level as higher tier players. The difference comes from decision making on using your skills and combo. Do you Shuffle? Do you poke with Q? Where do I put the soldier? Do I need 2? etc. But as said, once you get over that skill floor, the ceiling will be just how and when you make use of those skills.
