The Emperor of the Sands is getting a mini-rework on League of Legends Patch 13.5.
Azir is currently one of the most prominent champions in competitive play. He is a highly contested pick in professional play and has over a 50% presence in all four major regions. His strong landing phase and unparallel team-fighting make him a crucial pick in team play.
But, unfortunately, this isn’t the case in terms of solo-queue. Azir currently has an abysmal 46% win rate in solo-queue with a 2.3% pick rate, the second-lowest win rate among all the mid-laners. Riot tried to fix some of his issues in Patch 13.4, but sadly, it wasn’t enough.
So for Patch 13.5, Riot plans to do an Azir mini-rework. According to Riot, the goal of the rework is to improve Azir’s solo-queue viability while taking some power away from Professional Play.
Riot Phreak announced the Azir mini-rework in a YouTube video.
