Patch update 7.18 brought a lot of nerfs and buffs to various champions in League of Legends but Azir, the Emperor of the Sands, is about to unleash even more damage now when it comes to his ultimate ability.

Patch update 7.18 is live and a plethora of changes are hitting champions, items, and new functions like the awesome Emotes wheel. Azir, the Emperor of the Sands, got a nice buff to his ultimate ability in the latest patch to hit League of Legends.

Azir has been in a weird place as of late since he’s one of the hardest champions to master in the game. His kit requires skill and patience to achieve consistent results. With a quality player, Azir would be a viable mid lane champion. Unfortunately, the majority don’t invest as much time into mastering his abilities due to the lack of damage he’s capable of dishing out.

That is all about to change since Azir’s ultimate should now pack more of a punch. Summoners should see the difference right from the start and especially towards late game matches as it should work extremely well in team fights or making a strong push to win lanes.

Courtesy of the Media Relations Department of League of Legends, here’s the big change coming to Azir’s R – Emperor’s Divide:

"R – Emperor’s DivideBASE DAMAGE :: 150/225/300 >>> 150/250/450"

This is a great buff to not only put Azir back in a better place but also continue into his eventual rework. It won’t be hitting the game anytime soon but within the next few months, expect to see Azir get a much-needed rework.

Overall, for all you Azir mains out there or those thinking about giving him a shot again, definitely try him out now since he’ll be doing more damage with an ultimate that should be quite the difference maker in matches.
