@@3MinuteLeagueofLegends TBH, I'm not that caught up on the lore too. Hahaha! The last time I tried to catch up, I spent an entire evening reading the League Wiki just to make sense of the timeline. Hahaha!
Yeah honestly there's like 10 different runes he can go with which all work but Conq is the strongest general choice - Summon Aery is probably his second but these do work well if played a certain way - although that said Lethal Tempo is getting a solid nerf next patch so I can see a lot more champs going hail of blades again!
@@3MinuteLeagueofLegends true, but if I remember correctly it mostly affects the early game. attack speed is still the same at lvl 18, correct if I'm wrong. personally I really like Hail of Blades, works especially well against melee matchups. You can get a couple extra auto-attacks in and once the jungler shows up, quick shurima shuffle and boom easy kill. but I guess it's just what you prefer, and based on personal experience. with Azir you will have to do a lot of trying things out to see what works best for you. I always feel like Conqeror's does not reward as much as Lethal Tempo or Hail of Blades does By the way, great content.
Like the guide. It lacks some important information such as azirs runes affect him very much. He can go Hob and electrocute for a stronger early and more assassin play style, Lethal tempo and conquer for more scale, arcane comet and summon aire (good against lb) . He can build almost every mythic in the right situation and how he is very oppressive in the right hands. LOL 101 on YT is a challenger Azir player I recommend for more info. Only old vidoes unfortunately
Yeah with the 3 minute guides I go over the highest win rate general builds for the most part - but absolutely runes are so strong and so versatile at the moment that a ton of champions can super legitimately be played in a ton of ways which honestly Rito probably doesn’t get enough credit for 😅
Cool lore, cool concepts for gameplay, and amazing visually? All this and more for a champ that's barely viable in normal play. Its a shame because azir is such a cool character but having one on your team, he just feels outclassed by easier to play characters that are somehow even more rewarding. Hope Riot one day reworks him into something playable in norms.
If they reworked him he'll probably be broken I mean just look at Akali, Irelia when they were re-released. I think he's pretty good now, players are just not interested with someone as complicated to play lol
@@furyn9221 he has a lower win rate than K'Sante mid, and is at a point where quite literally every champion in the game counters him because he's so dog after getting nerfed to oblivion, where is this "he's pretty good" coming from
@@mikakimchi then a buff would be nice. But rework? That may either be good or just straight up strip him of his personality. Though since he's always in pro play, unfortunately we may not see those buffs anytime soon
akali sylas and yone are actually hard match ups, because of the burst damage you easily get killed by one wrong step. vladimir is a easy match up because your range, you push so he doesn't roam. easy match does not exist for azir, but there are harder matchups (speaking about the lane)
He’s one of the champions that Riot really struggles to balance. In pro play he is an absolute beast and almost always played, where even for high elo players his win rate is pretty rubbish and trying to balance normal players being able to play him in a viable way and pros abusing him is difficult 😅
don't you need tp rush nashor's on him now tho? Also should've mentioned that he's completely unplayable atleast in lane and INSANELY hard to play. But just don't play him atm, so bad.
You can go nashors but almost every Azir at the moment doesn’t just getting shadow flame instead for the raw damage as nashors will only be better in drastically longer fights - yeah he’s not in a great place right now but Azir mains still will over 50% of their games - just a steep learning curve!
Most Azirs at the moment don't max it but put 2 or 3 points into it before maxing Q as you lose a bit too much by fully committing to it - but with the changes next patch he'll almost certainly go back to maxing Q so didn't feel like it was worth mentioning to put another point or two into it!
Huh, just noticed his gameplay with zone control and free towers reflect his lore as an emperor.
That’s very cool - with the MMO on the horizon I should learn more about the lore than I know 😅

@@francisfalgui9292 sadly azir is already dead in the lore
@@motafu1I don’t think he is, didn’t he get revived
@@motafu1yeah he “died” during his ascension but I think he was revived and came back in his ascended form, which is why he’s a bird man haha
Hail of Blades and Lethal Tempo feel a lot stronger on Azir currently because it compensates for the missing attack speed from the soldiers

@@raldoron personally also just play HoB but I sometimes also play conquer. Depends on the match up.
thanks i watched in champ select and won
Eyyy that’s awesome pal!

Honestly this describes my feelings to him pretty well - maybe one day they’ll find a way to make him playable in all elos 😅

Run blades and go for that triple quick hit for early damage. Play aggro and win
That is definitely a funky way to do it!
@@3MinuteLeagueofLegends night harvester ;3
I'm basically just Gordon Ramsay holding my mouth shut to learn the ways of the Shurima Shuffle.. (among other things)
😂😂
If u need engage on ur team, grasp tank azir is still pretty good
That does sound fun!
You should rush nashor if you want to use conq imo
You never build Nashors any more since they changed him to no longer get the amazing benefits form attack speed!
I played him on ARAM I tried everything to summon a tower clicking left and right mouse all the abilities nothing worked
I’ll be honest I don’t really play arams so I’m not sure if that is an Aram thing or a bug? o.O
@@3MinuteLeagueofLegends Most likely a bug. Ive seen azir summon towers on aram

One question tho, how he got the ressurect here 2:35 ?
Zilean Ult
@@didkimo ah thanks, i forgor about that
So why is Azir in a weak spot? Is his unique kit difficult to tune?

why the link color is purple not as the rest at 1:03 ?
Honestly couldn’t tell you!
the shurima shuffle 🤣
Every day he be shufflin!
cool
😁
fire❤😂😂
😁
Why play Azir?
We think we are Faker 😂
Haha god damn he makes him look so easy 😂
Remake?
It is sorely needed!
Max w not q

@@3MinuteLeagueofLegends Well, now we HAVE to max W haha
This is only 2min and 59 seconds where is my minute
On my end it’s showing a full 3 minutes 😅
azir is horrible youre wrong if you disagree
Yeah Rito keep messing around with him and I don't think they've quite got it right yet ^^
Do not play Azir
Yeah he’s in a weird spot right now!
FINALLY WEQR WEQR WEQR ⭐⭐🟨🟨💛💛🟡🟡🐥🐥AZIR WILL RISE FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL DESPITE JUST HAVING BEEN STRUCK BY RIOT. WEQR WE WILL PREVAIL.
😂😂 love it!
