League of Legends developers address life-threatening Azir bug that impacted Faker at Worlds 2022

Azir Bug Fix in Patch 13.1 Could Boost Win Rate

Just when we thought Patch 13.1 had settled, a new set of changes has surfaced on the League of Legends subreddit. One of the standout changes is a bug fix for Azir, which could potentially lead to a significant increase in his win rate.

Details of the Bug Fix

According to datamined changes shared on League’s subreddit on Jan. 10, Azir will receive a substantial bug fix that will greatly impact his day-to-day gameplay and potentially affect his win rate.

Fixing Azir’s Ultimate Spell

Azir’s ultimate ability, Emperor’s Divide, has a bug that prevents it from knocking up enemies or dealing damage if the caster dies during the casting animation. However, the latest bug fix will ensure that Azir’s ultimate spell, including its total damage and knock-up, will go through regardless of whether the champion dies mid-casting animation or not. This fix will significantly increase Azir’s overall damage output and allow him to contribute to his team even after death.

Potential Impact on Win Rate

This bug has been a recurring issue for Azir mains for a while now, and even Faker himself experienced it at Worlds 2023. With Riot Games addressing this bug, we may witness an increase in Azir’s win rate as they fine-tune the champion’s numbers. It’s a welcome sight to see Riot finally giving Azir the attention he deserves after being a dominant champion in professional play for years.
