Azir builds

Zed genius·Sep 4, 2017·3 votes·462 views

What is good to build on azir nowadays? I feel like rush just makes your early game really weak and I always seem to lose when doing it, but every high elo player seems to do this. Personally I have found a kinda different build for him, I haven't really tested it a lot,(5-6 normal games, in which I got fed,I even would dive the enemy talon in one game) So the build is: and situational last item like (You could get Rylai after Liandry's torment too) Does this build look viable to you? What could I change to make it better?

Runes I am using are basic azir runes: 9 attack speed marks 9 hp/level seals 6 cdr/level glyphs 3 magic resist(either flat or scaling) glyphs 3 Ap Quintessences

(So my attack speed is pretty high too)

i stil play azir time to time even tho he is heavly up.

what you say is correct I noticed it 2. buying item 3115 makes you really weak. biggest problem I have with is the mana after 2 rotations mana bar is gone.

that is why I build item 3165 first. the rest of the build is really situational. the second item can be item 3151 , item 3102 , item 3157 or item 3116 . the rest is obvs item 3089 item 3135 .

lets say i am vs an orianna and i whent even with her my build would be mostlikly this

2. 3 and 4 order depends on if the enemy bought a lot of magic resist items. if they do if they don't 5. along the way i buy these

maxing skills: W first Q second E third

AP pen red HP yellow CD per level blues AP quinns

never tried attack speed runes on azir may have to try it.

I see an azir player in stream that rushes stinger, then Ludens, then finishes Nashors. He most of the time gets Sorc Boots, thats like a bursty version of azir, with Q+1auto+luden thunderlords proce carrying pretty soon in the game. I personally like having around 1.75attk speed on azir (nashors + attk speed boots + attk speed runes), but that really depends on the playstyle. :)

item 3285 item 3115 item 3165 item 3006 are the four items I always grab. Raba and Void afterward, usually, but it depends I guess.

no defensive runes (no flat/scaling HP, Armor, MR, etc.). Just MPen, AP and ASPD. If you have morellos and nashor you don't need CDR glyphs, which is great. ASPD and AP yellows aren't as gold efficient but if you're spending the entirety of your lanephase farming and kiting around then its all gucci. Azir has one of the best reposiioning tools in the game so it's not hard to stay alive if you're really intent on it, except in the matchups where you wouldn't want to pick Azir anyways.

people romanticize scaling HP in the midlane to no end, but the extra ~12 HP per level isn't going to keep you alive usually. If you're really struggling, just buy a Corrupting early on and play safer. Azir may not be the greatest midlaner but with a runepage gutloaded with offensive stats (especially a chunk of ASPD) he hits like a truck.

x9 MPen reds x5 flatAP yellows, x4 ASPD yellows x2 MPen blues, x7 flatAP blues x2 ASPD quints, x1 flatAP quint

......for a total of 11 AP, 11 MPen and 12% ASPD at lv.1. For masteries I use 6/18/6 with Thunderlords because recovery and siegemaster are super useful for staying in lane. I also take barrier/heal because ignite feels janky on him.

I used ignite in a couple of games as a meme and it went really well for whatever reason (you don't really see an azir first blooding level 2 talon usually) but yeah defensive summs summoner 7 summoner 21 summoner 1 are better
