Azir had a 97% presence in LCK playoffs. Riot's intention was to increase Azir's solo que win rate but reduce his presence in pro play but are back to where we started. With other strong pro play mid laners like Tristana being nerfed his presence will most likely go up. Should Azir be nerfed to prevent him from the best mid at worlds again?
Super amenable to Azir receiving nerfs if he has to. That said, measuring a single region's playoffs is not a very representative sample of champion strength. Before this weekend, Kalista was the #1 presence champion in the LEC post-season. Is Kalista OP?
Azir's work was very successful IMO:
- Pro presence remained at about the same point that it was in 13.1b for multiple months of Summer split
- Solo queue win rate for non-Challenger was significantly closer to 50%
- Champion "depth" (the amount of Azir that Azir players play) is the highest it's been in over two years
Even if he gets like a 1% win rate flat nerf, most of the above still hold true.
