I used to play Azir all the time from when he came out till his huge nerf, but since the nerf is he really worth it? I used to be really good but now he feels too weak and every match up is very difficult. Maybe I'm building him wrong but it seems like all other mids have better damage and sustain.
He's pretty strong if you can learn him; and his late game is pretty good.
I think the usual build is Morellonomicon, Sorcs, Deathcap, Void Staff, Hourgalss, Nashors/Luden's Echo.
5000 years ago when he was on the pbe I tried scaling cdr glyphs since they also double as attack speed due to his passive, but idk if that's ok anymore.
If you like attacking your enemy from outside their attack/spell range then totally get him, hes a real dick in that department and i love him for it.
He's incredible right now in the tank meta. Usually tanks become unkillable after a certain point, even by ADCs, but having basically a magic damage ADC that scales higher than the tanks is amazing. If you can survive through lane and farm up, you're gonna win a lot of games.
Azir's lane matchups are pretty much always going to be unfavorable. He trades early game damage and survivability for a godly lategame, and as such suffers a lot against most other champions. Your goal in lane should never be to get kills - it should be to obtain as much farm as possible and survive 'till late.
I usually build Azir like you'd build other AP mages - Morello's/Athene's, Deathcap, Void Staff, Zhonya's, defensive option. You should be hitting like a truck lategame.
