Should I get Zed Lisandra or Azir?

Mmmmh...

Zed and Lissandra are easier to pick up, but both have some of their own difficulties. Azir however is hard to play. I think it kinda depends on the playstyle you want to try out.

Want single target deletion? Zed is the answer.

Want close-range team AoE lockdown? Lissandra is the way to go.

Wanna be a mechanical god? Azir main for the win.

They all have different playstyles:

Zed

Zed quickly jumps in, avoids damage while completely obliterating the priority target's HP, and then quickly gets out of the fight. He isn't of much use after he's attempted his assassination though. High risk/high reward type of champion. If you get CC'ed while trying to assassinate, you can get bursted down very easily.

Lissandra

Lissandra is kinda the opposite. She can quickly go in, deal massive AoE damage while locking their whole team in place (if done perfectly), allowing for your team to follow up and combo with you. Her ult is basically a free Zhonya's Hourglass, which makes her a great counter against assassins (like Zed).

Azir

Azir has very high DPS. He uses his soldiers to deal a lot of damage constantly from a relatively safe distance. His ult is a great disruptor and can totally mess up the enemy team's position. He has a lot of dashing around and AA'ing constantly from the soldiers so he's hard to get used to.

It's up to you at this point :)

Also:

Azir Pros - Has lots of zoning, is a late game monster, can attack from a long range and still be effective, his ult can change the whole game (I once used it when the enemy was taking drag, stole drag, got a penta), mechanically satisfying.

Azir Cons - Needs a lot to get him really going ( some tankiness to not just get dived and some AS/AP to really get that burst in), he's entirely reliant on his soldiers so if you miss that Q you're boned, and his mana costs are pretty bad since you have to use two spells for one effective trade.

I love Azir the most out of the three, but he definitely requires a lot of work. His unique playstyle was a hard transition from what I was used to, but in the end, I feel it payed off immensely to learn him.

Lissandra Pros - Her passive gives her a free ability every few seconds so she has great sustain if you use it, she has so much utility in her kit, great poke, E can be used to engage or disengage, can set up great ganks

Lissandra Cons - high cooldowns, moderate damage as you have to build more tanky since you're going to be in the fray more, requires follow-up and coordination from the team to make the most of her kit.

You pick someone like Syndra to carry, you pick someone like Lissandra to work together. I decided to put her down a little while ago because her solo burst felt weak in comparison to other options, and her kit felt slow. If you can get everyone on the same page, though, she can win provide so much to the team.

Zed pros - I mean, I've only played him twice, so i don't know much. Very mobile and snowbally. He's also worth it with these upcoming preseason changes, since a lot of the items are going to work stupidly with him. A lot of outplay potential too. Oh, and he has no mana.

Zed cons - You have to know how to play an assassin to use him. You have to know the right times to go in, who your target is (usually the ADC), where the enemy is, etc. I've only played a few games with him and he didn't seem that hard, mechanically, but there's definitely a lot of macro I needed to know.

Personally, I opted not to play Zed. Diana's my go-to assassin because I feel I can always learn more from her, if that makes sense. Zed is very powerful though, so if you're looking to solo carry your way to victory, he's definitely a good choice.

lissandra is in a better spot than the other three right now.

If you want to be in any way competitive, don't play Azir or Liss. Just buy Zed, win for no reason, and act like you're super good at the game.

I think Azir is just cool as hell and looks awesome. I love the playstyle, but he's harder to pull off, especially in teamfights, and needs more protection.

I would say Azir honestly, but that style isn't popular.

So I'm going to have to say get Zed or Liss. Preferably Zed cause he has the most room for play making, and outplay potential and can escape.
