CALLING ALL AZIR PLAYERS

If your here, I'm assuming you play Azir or have an interest in learning him. Now, lets get to the point.

Builds: If you guys have a better build then the one I'm about to show, please say so, but I find this most effective so far. item 3020 item 3165item 3101 item 3135 item 3157 item 3026 After getting GA I get Nashors, don't worry.

Skill Sequence: This is my Skill Sequence so far, I picked it up from Drift King Azir, who sadly, stopped playing Azir thanks to the E Nerf (THANK'S RIOT!) If you think another sequence is better please say so.

W - Q - E - Q - Q - R - W - W - Q - Q - R - W - W - E - E - R - W- W

Masteries: If you guys have a better mastery page please say so. Here's my set up (note: I can't put the actually tree here, i'll just explain it)

21/0/9: Maximising damage in offense, excluding spell blade and double edged sword. Taking Mana, Move Speed, recall, biscuits in utility.

Runes: If you think another rune set up is better please say so.

MPen Red X 9 AS Yellows X 5 Armour Yellows X 4 AS Blues X 5 MR Blues X 4 AP Quints X 3

Debate: Anybody else think his early game is so weak, that it is allowing the enemy to get stronger? I feel like if your too passive, the enemy will probably outscale you mid game and destroy you (ie: Diana), but if your too aggresive, you get punished for it, as your squishy and have little escape, thus making you behind. So what are your thoughts? Lets make RITO HEAR IT.

Weak in Solo Q? Yes

Weak in teams that are coordinated? Absolutely not

AS Luck said team vs soloQ is why some champions are more powerful then people think. I personally play Azir with my team, and it's much easier to get good ult setups and such ( for stronger mid-game atleast)

That build seems terrible tho. Since the passive nerf he doesn't really scale well with cdr. Skip morello entirely and rush item 3115. Instead of ga, get item 3116. Zhonyas and WQE already give you enough survivability so ga is not needed at all. The build order should be nashor>boots>rylais>dcap>void>zhonya. Rush zhonya vs ad assassins.

I think you should swap out the morellos (or when dealing with tanks) the GA for a damage item like deathcap, otherwise i don't think you have the harass or burst to deal with ADC's and mobile mid laners. I also run 9x scaling health seals, 9x armor pen reds, 9x magic resist blues (or scaling cdr if im not worried about the enemy mid laner) and 3x ap quints. While sad azir's e nerf isn't gamebreaking for him and really help reduce his ridiculous early dueling power. I feel where azir is at right now he's a defensive mid laner that has the potential to make big plays when needed, and is balanced (though yes something needs to be done with his e, right now it's unsatisfying and is used purely for positioning).

Azir is hard to play, but once you get him, he is like yas.... a killing machine. I say this because he has both burst and consistent damage. If you unload all your skill on a target... you get burst. At that point if target is still alive, most mages have to wait for skills to come off cooldown, however, Azir can still keep going with the damage from his w autos. On top of that, huge poke and huge aoe with one of the best defenses in the game. That r wall makes even riven cry.

I really dislike where Azir has ended up with the recent patches. I preferred when he scaled with CDR, felt a lot nicer to do the Morello rush. Nashors rush just feels crappy on him to me, but it's very clearly the best build right now.

Attack speed marks and scaling CDR glyphs with a nashors rush into a normal APC build is definitely the best way to build him though. You definitely shouldn't be getting morello anymore unless you're against a Swain or something.

Morellos is bad on azir, the build may work for you but it's not very effective.
