Most websites say that Azir is pretty much a trash-tier mid laner, but I've been playing him recently and he honestly feels pretty damn strong. It's pretty easy to farm on him because you can let the soldiers do all the work, and you can also harass the enemy which allows you to roam to one of the side lanes.
Also, if he is bad, why?
Pyrosan1 votesAzir by no means is bad he's just an incredibly high skill requirement champion with league's player base being low skilled which reflects the champion to look bad, he got nerfed not too long ago due to presence in LCK? LCS whichever and he's strong if used right
Darkdemon6531 votesNo, he's quite strong.
Handy Sandy 1 votesazir otp. he sucks and u have to work 5x as hard as other mids to win games lul
why is he bad? -azir is 1 of the worse duelists in the (early)game he cant straight up fight anyone -because he cant straight up fight anyone his mid game sucks unless he gets an early lead, similar to caitlyn -relies on team to not lose the first 10 minutes of the game for him to be relevant -impossible to play on like 60+ ping' -not threatening until 2 items
wait a minute but why is he good -thicc thighs -ult has more uses than coconut oil -simply refuses to lose unfavorable matchups through sheer safety and waveclear -one of the best waveclear per mana of every mage -insta wins every fight as long as he has 3 soldiers between him and whoever else -mobile so nobody can gank you -higher than average outplay potential due to low cds/kiting playstyle -one of the best roaming champions post 6. (azir and roam should not belong in the same sentence together but if you somehow manage to walk down over bot, ulting the enemy bot into yours wins games.) -you have an answer for everything basically -actually good early game but just in laning, sucks at rotating. his early game (laning) is good cause he can poke ppl real ez while being safe because of mobility and lowish mana costs. perfect balance of these allow u to like legiterally go pew pew pew and chunk ppl every time electrocute is up with no counterplay because its litteraly undodgable if melee the only counter to this combo is just "be out of W range"
Sky Cardis1 votesI speak from only Aram. Azir seems to strulle a small but until he gets some gear...He surprising does a lot of damage once he gets going...when I first played him I just did the equivalent of a face roll on the keyboard every couple of seconds and I got kills/assists XD.
I learned how he worked a small but then 2nd time I got him I see what made him really tick.
He sort of acts like 
or 
in an odd way. He can zone the enemy from getting minions or if the enemy gets to close with his sand guardians. And if anyone gets to close. He also has a decent engage/disengage if you set up your sand guardians right.
He is a very tactical and zone controlling champion (w/o need of CC like the other 2 I listed).
preternatural1 voteshe's fine
chipndip11 votesAzir is one of those pro play picks. He's strong, but not for any reason you can consistently exploit in solo queue.
