      Garen has infinite mana,build him right,he can just run away and regen health really fast.
      Yasuo is somewhat balanced.
      Zilean is somewhat balanced.
      Veigar can have infinite ap.
      Master Yi can penta kill easily if built right.
      Teemo is strong af.
      Rengar 1-shots people
      Darius 1-shots people
      Cho'gath is balanced,I agree with you there.
      Warwick is REALLY strong early game,so he is SOMEwhat balanced,because he sucks late game,I kinda agree with you there.
      Ryze,his new rework makes him broken and unkillable when built full AP.
      Ashe is balanced,I agree with you there.
      Kayle,if built right,is basically unkillable if she has mana,mainly because of her ult and her dmg abillites.
      Annie is somewhat OP,but when she is ganked/pinned down.She's dead.I agree with you there.
      Xin Zhao,build him full lifesteal and he can solo Baron,and his passive means kills are easier.So he's basically unkillable.
      Udyr lategame is basically manaless,his mana costs.
      Twisted Fate isn't balanced,if he's built full ap,get ready to die,because his cc can insta kill you.
      Sion is balanced.I agree with you there.
      Taric is the guy who will be tanky no matter what,he can protect his teammates make them invulnerable.He's a gr8 support.Somewhat balanced.I agree with you there.
      Jax can 1 v 1 almost anyone because of his passive,build him at least one guinissho rageblade and attk dmg build and he is the duelist.
      Fiddlesticks,full ap,nah,his lifesteal abbility,not balanced.
      Nasus,I made a mistake,he doesn't have infinite ARMOR stacks,he has infinite ATTACK DMG stacks with his abilities (siphoning strike),which makes him VERY strong on late game.
      Dr.Mundo is balanced.I agree with you there.
      Sona is balanced.I agree with you there.

    u Would be out of your mind with his ulty in the gameplay section. "OMFG this champ's ulty makes him undead!?for 5 FUCKING SECONDS!? RIPROT RITO." :D i mean, relax!

      Cute is justice Cute is victory

      Ignite do halven the effect of self-healing including lifesteal and his Q.

      But being attracted to children isn't necessarily wrong. There is literally nothing they can do about what they're into. However, most people like that refrain from doing anything, minus the few who are eventually caught and registered as a registered pedophile.

      OmglolNarutorules Being sexually attracted to another consensual adult in a suit isn't comparable to being attracted to children. Frowned upon doesn't mean shit, 90% of the people in the real world don't know or care about what bronies are. You're just trying to 'represent the common opinion' to strengthen your pathetic obsession with judging.

    if you ever played azir and are wondering why he doesn't seem very good, this spotlight doesn't talk about an extremely important mechanic mastered by all pro azir players:
    You can use conquering sands (Q) while dashing with shifting sands (E). This changes everything about azir, absolutely everything. His escape range, his engage potential, his combo speed, his burst...
    When I first bought Azir i didn't know that, but after I realized u could do that Azir went from fucking sloppy to play to fucking awesome.

      dex, people should stop complaining about how a person play. I mean, if it's a normal i understand: u are trying your champ, you are trying to get in confidence with his/her ability. But if it's a ranked you should have already played a lot that champ. LoL is a team game where every player is essential to win the match. If a player fails, the team suffers his mistake. Unfotunately lol is full of dickheads.

    • @Sarazoul
      @Sarazoul Před 10 lety +15

      They are not that hard honestly. Gets some getting used to for sure but its not really hard to use a combo with him.
      W (auto attack untill enemy gets out of soldiers range) then Q+E+W (for a second soldier).
      Try to focus on using a one soldier combo at first (add the second once you get used to the champ). Its not that big of a deal to use just one W since the second soldier only deal 25% of the normal damage and the damage from Q is the same wether or not you have two soldiers (cause the damage is only applied by the first soldier that hits). You'll still deal a very good chunk of damage this way and its not that hard to pull off.
      As for his ult, early game i STRONGLY recommend to always keep it as an anti-gank ability. Once you use your Combo, you can't use your E to escape, so you are really vulnerable to ganks at that point. Keep the ult to save your ass out of there.
      Once you start team fighting however you can use the ult to split/block the enemy team which isn't that hard to pull off either. Using the ult on a one or more ennemys in jungle is also very effective as you can really block them in a corner.

      Hard to believe that they couldn't figure out that Azir ult if casted on a enemy turrent would make the turret stop attacking. I don't see how they failed to notice such an obvious bug.

      FlamingHotRamen Azir and Xerath were ancient friends, before Xerath betrayed Azir during a ceremony to make him Immortal. He killed Azir and made himself immortal instead.

      I think this is quiet old but xerath resembles seth the god of chaos as he himself unleshes chaos and the father of sobek as he manipilated renekton

    I like how the featured a bug in an Azir champion spotlight. Look at how 8:43 - 8:48 , his left most soldiers fail to attack simultaneously with the other soldier after the long distance Q. It turns but doesn't feel like attacking.

    • @TheVoltStrike
      @TheVoltStrike Před 10 lety

      Joseph Murray would probably rely more on farm than kills, i never got many kills early with him so i think it would be better to just farm and harrass the oponente away from lane.

    • @TreyDobe
      @TreyDobe Před 10 lety

      Nedqlko Hristov Well it's my little brother's account, I was too lazy to make one when there was a window open to get it.
      TheVoltStrike I see, it takes way too much effort to try and finish off someone with him, unless they are stupid and don't leave lane it's really tough to secure kills with him early. Yea I agree with you there, he's better off farming at the beginning making sure he has the gold for his core items then wreck face in teamfights if his team can lock them down for him to get those insane AA's off on the enemy.

    This is one of those champs where you rly see the difference between somebody who plays him a lot and somebody who doesnt play him a lot. I Iike it as the satisfaction of hearing "I never rly see a good azir so it's cool to see one now" never gets old. ^^
