SHURIMA!
I'm getting Azir next any tips on drifting and stuff? I'm thinking of buying Zz'rot Portal Zhonya's Hourglass Rabadon's Deathcap Rylai's Crystal Scepter Nashor's Tooth and Sorcerer's Shoes Any different builds?

A good build for him is 
replacing with 
when needed. He's not trash, though. He's definetly viable and playable.
My only tip .... Refund!
... he is in a pretty unplayable state atm ... you need to be god-tier with him to be at most a viable pick
I wouldn't even bother playing him. He is garbage right now. Even pros can't get above a 48% win rate. It sucks to say this but he is the second worst champ right now. Riot hates the place he is in because of his kit.
Unlike Yasuo who strong because of skill and build paths, Azir is strong because of his kit.
He was super powerful in the right hands, and that was why he was nerfed so much. He is so bad now that he is impossible to pick up and is garbage if played perfectly. You can't even counter what you should be able to anyway.
They will give him a small rework eventually, it's better to wait for that.
This build is good tho.
First off, it's not drifting. Anyone that called it drifting and got that silly phrase in your head should quit Azir. It's the Shurima Shuffle.
Now 2. I HIGHLY advise against playing him. On top of having a very weak state right now, even in a strong state, he requires so so much practice to do well. And by that I mean consistently with a good margin, not buying him and first game going 15-3.
You can get lucky, or just do well in first impressions. I'm victim to it a lot where I pick a champ, crush a couple or few games, and think this is the new sleeper and it's amazing. Then like 5-20 games down the road things normalize and suddenly I realize the issues with The champ and why I don't see him/her often.
So as fun as Azir looks and as well as you've done, I can 100% guarantee you are not ready for Azir. Especially if you're new to ranked. You will win one game, two, three, fifteen maybe. But at some point you will get to a place where you find yourself poorly performing and even when winning you're not doing so well. That's how champs like Azir or Orianna work that have high skill caps. Unless luck is heavily on your side or you are incredibly skilled, it will happen and it sucks finding a new champ.
