Why is Azir's base damage so low?

It's not like his attack damage increases his soldier's damage. His laning phase is absolute garbage until level 4, and even then it's nothing spectacular.

You could always just use your soldiers to kill minions.

Well then, glad you made a solid argument.

Because you aren't supposed to use Azir's basic attacks; his soldiers are supposed to do it for him.

If you're using basic attacks to trade with someone as Azir, you f&cked up.

Not sure I understand your question. Are you seriously complaining that Azir's laning is "garbage" until level 4?

The biggest thing to remember is that Azir's damage has no travel time while auto attacking. The instant he autos is the instant the damage procs. He is very similar to Vel'koz in this case. I only ever use soldiers to harass/trade with my laner. I am finding that the more I play Azir, he is better played as a passive champion in lane (ziggs, ori, xerath, ect). You have to look for mistakes the enemy makes and capitalize on that.
