I recall Riftmaker being an item some Azirs would take from time to time. I saw it somewhat recently (within the last 6 months) of a Korean GM Azir doing all the HP/AP items. I think he did something like (in no particular order):
- Nashor's Tooth
- Liandrys
- Rylais
- Riftmaker
- Bloodletter's Curse

He had 4k HP and did good damage still. Now here's what I'm thinking:
- Omnivamp boots (for 10% omnivamp)
- Nashor's Tooth
- Riftmaker (total of 18% omnivamp now)
- Shadowflame
- (Any 2 of Rabadon's, Zhonyas, Void Staff)

I feel like the amount of damage you lose isn't that much, but you gain 18% omnivamp and could go pretty crazy. Especially since Azir is hard to survive with into some champs/comps. There's a lot of melee champs that gap close pretty easily (Ambessa, Nocturne, Naafiri, Yone, etc) and having a little bit of sustain in those fights could be game-changing I'd imagine.

What do you guys think?

Just played a ranked game and PTA doesnt work on soldiers atm.

Just getting it out there dont play it until next patch.

Bloodletters, Void, or Cryptbloom?

Hello everyone, introduction first:

Im Witness Azir, EUW Azir OTP since around Season 5.
Hit GM / Challenger multiple times only because of azir. Currently back to playing Azir more serious again. Perhaps im the most aggressive Azir player out there, playing Ignite and Killrunes since years. Probably the developer of burst build ( at least i played it very early on, since years and been advertising it a lot).

NOW: Azir has always been more versatile in builds and runes than most midlaners and even more than many of the Azir players think.
Sadly riot has come to patch him more and more into the corner of high dps shorter range hypercarry, with reduced range, less importance on q, higher dps on w, and the removal of utility like triple soldier attackspeed in favour of adding onhiteffects in half value ( which is btw the biggest crime ever, as it is kind of only made for nashors tooth, but also only applys half the effect, so its completely unique in all of league and in fact really poorly designed, as why would a champion be designed around an item).

However over the past years, there has been TANK AZIR ( grasp, liandrys, Riftmaker, Abyssal Mask and Zonyas or even frozen Heart), BURST AZIR ( Electrocute / HOB, Ludens / Stormsurge, Shadowflame, Nashors / horizon focus, Rabadons and so on), CLASSIC AZIR ( LT, Like old days Nashors, Rylais, Liandrys, Rabadons etc) and i even played UTILITY Azir when moonstone apllied on Soldiers ( Rylais, Moonstone, Zonyas).

Azir to me at least, has always been the most fun champion mainly because of the versatility of his gameplay and style and identity. His adaptability ingame makes him so hard to balance also ( mobility combined with zone control combined with dps combined with hardcc fight setup). With riot slowly but surely seeming to kill his versatility by patching it out ( removing conqueror and partially HOB as strong runes for him, weakening LT on Azir until they patched in his half onhiteffects application, nerfing grasp on ranged characters) i also started fading out of serious league.
Until last Azir buffs hit. Now to me and my preferred playstyle, those are OP.
Way too much dmg added. Perfectly compliments and rewards my burst playstyle.
And now the new Season is ahead. This is where i come to the main take:

BOI ITS GONNA BE FUCKIN FUN.
Im going to test out lots of promising items and builds.
From first test in Practise tool:
HOB applies the bonus true dmg on soldiers.
Dusk and dawn Applies the heal.
Gluttonous boots with Dusk and Dawn and Riftmaker could be a hilarious offtank Battlemage build.
Burst Azir is still viable.
Dps Azir is still absolutely strong.
More ideas and builds to come ( wanna test out statics aswell)
What im saying is.
BE versatile in ur builds and runes. Think outside the box.
Experiment ( Maybe first in flex queue or wherever u go for ur AD azir Builds. I KNOW WHO U ARE)
Allow yourself to dreem your wet dreams of a full sustain stacked gluttonous boots Azir with Riftmaker, Dusk and Dawn, Spirit visage, Gunblade and so on.
BE FREE.

Arise fellow Azir mains
Arise!

BY Witness Azir

PtA not applying in 26.9

Conqueror soldier giving only 1 stack in 26.9

Cheapshot applying half the damage in 26.9

Sudden Impact applying half the damage in 26.9

Azir soldier auto no longer stacks PtA, only regular auto

(don't ask me how I found out...)

Hello fellow bird, i wanted to point out that the following bug are live on Azir impacting negatively his gameplay and winrate:

-Since the patch 26.9 Azir soldier doesnt trigger Press The Attack:
When you auto an ennemy champion with soldier, no stack of Press The Attack is applied on the ennemy champion

-Since patch 26.6 Azir soldier doesnt give 2 conqueror stacks:
When you auto an ennemy champion with soldier, only 1 stack of conqueror is given to Azir instead of 2 (despite being stated that it was fixed in Patch 26.3)

Its like they patched more bots into the Game or try to ruin your experience. 0/8 jungle, 0/14 ADC and it doesnt stop i can have a S and 8,8-9/cs per min i just cant win my Game after 4 People camp Mid. I win lane i can even win lane hard, but then when it comes to actually play as a Team i cant play with these monkeys. Im mad as hell and pissed because i actually wanted to hit Silver 3 or 2 but my Mates keep crushing me into a 1v9 that is impossible.

My perma ban at the moment is Vladimir i just cant play this match up but i was wondering what everyone else is banning usually because i guess its just me with my low elo skill set that cant play agains Vladimir
