The answer is yes. He's still pretty strong but he is more vunerable than ever which for some doesn't mean much because he's probably one of the better zoners in the game.

You gave him a go on free to play. Very good. At least you know what it's like to use him.

The champion is seeing a lot of picks and bans lately so you may have to face an Azir while playing as an Azir and he'll be banned or first picked in ranked matches depending on how it's going.

Keep in mind about the stuff he lost because things like the soldier yank that knocks people up used to be a very key ability and helped you get the kill on an otherwise sure death.

Another thing to note about Soldier yanking. As mentioned. Put a bit of practice into giving orders while you get pulled so you get some bonus distance. It's a very powerful mobility tactic.

Is there anything you are specifically worried about? Like say for instance. You're facing a Cassiopeia or Malzahar and you are wondering on how to even survive that lane, like can you bully them enough? Or is it more like. You're worried about the mana regen or whether or not Veigar has your number (he does)? I wouldn't worry about gap closer assassins assuming you don't let them kill you pre level six (not impossible for Katarina or Talon) because you sort of push people off but if you don't have your lane warded you basically got baited out of your only defense. I'm sure you'll take a flash though but some Pro Azir's also take cleanse have you noticed that?

Ya know. Let us know your worries and maybe we'll sort them. Except for Veigar. Maybe a cleanse will help but all it takes is one stun...
