Looking for someone who would be worth investing time into and I thought of these 2, basically who is better and why?

I would say Elise is better to win with for a couple of reasons. 1 she is early game in an early game meta. 2 she's a great pick right now as opposed to Azir who is in a bit more of a rough spot. 3) junglers can snowball their lanes bringing several teammates ahead.

I really enjoy playing Azir (suck with him) and he can be very powerful, but it takes a lot to get him going. To me it feels like you don't become a great team fighting force until you get Rylais, and by then the game is usually decided.

definitely elise.

azir is a pro champ that keeps getting nerfed because he is too strong there, so his winrate hangs around 42 percent. source

elise is pretty good overall(allthough still 49 percent winrate) right now and there are no signs of extremely heavy nerfs on the horizon source

Azir is garbage at the moment. His damage in midgame is just too weak. Yes experienced azir players can still do some cool things with azir but he's not worth learning. You would invest a lot of time just to have average impact in the game. I was once an Azir main but after the nerfs I've given up on him. Additionally because his kit is really unhealthy and lacks counterplay it's very unlikely to see any buffs for the annoying chicken

One is a jungler, one is a mid laner. Pick your role, because that's half of what your learning. But since it looks like you want to dedicate yourself to learning a champion, I'd say elise, the jungle is pretty strong, and if the meta shifts between diving for ganks, or invading I'm pretty sure she can do both.

It depends. Elise is a monster early and mid game. Azir is a late game monster. Both take quite a bit of practice to get good with as well.

It really comes down to whether you want to mid or jungle. If you want to do more than one role, go Elise, she can lane some.

I'm going to go "against" the grain and make a case as to why azir is worth picking up over elise, as otherwise this'd be no fun.

Ever been in a league game and thought to yourself "I want to style on someone using something they wouldn't expect at all"?. Azir not only brings that, but also brings a kit which while considered weak by many is also one of the more unique ones. Soldiers provide an intuitive way to fight, allowing you to have a bit of a "buddy system" even if your team isn't nearby (you're not just going into a 1v3 alone, but with a few friends as well), while the ability to place your own turret allows you to go down "alamo style" should things not go as anticipated. Elise may seem like a better choice for obvious reasons (higher winrate, less of a skillcap), but with that being said, do you really want to play something based off a real-world thing that is known to cannibalize its made post-coitus? A vote for azir is not just a vote for the common man, but a vote for non-post-coitus-cannibalism.
