408 farm @ 41 minutes, had 100 @ 10, 200 @ 20, IIRC this is generally what's acceptable as "good farm". I was extremely proud of myself this game, all my plays felt big and flashy and I survived with a sliver of health, except the first Heimer kill, that was nearly flawless. All this with Azir's ult being bugged too. And in before but this was normals, and I'm only gold 4 but I rarely ever get this much farm and I'm pleased.

What role were you? I own azir but have no clue what to do with him, he screws the meta.

EDIT: That game was mid vs a Heimer.

I've been successful carrying in mid, top, and jungle. Build is always rush nashors tooth, (If you have enough for stinger get stinger, if not get fiendish codex), after completing Nashor's you'll notice an immediate powerspike and this is where things get fun. You don't neccesarily need any kills before you get your Nashor's completed, but you do need to work extremely hard to not die and farm. After nashors, I grab sorc boots, then deathcap, then void staff.

One important thing to note about the Nashor's rush is, it gives 20% CDR. Throw a blue pot on top of this and you have 30% without masteries (I use attack speed, not CDR in offense). Add blue buff and you've got 40% CDR extremely early, without sacrificing runes or masteries, and this is where you can shine.

My 5th/6th items nearly always vary game to game, but those first 4 are pretty consistent. The one exception would be rushing a Morellicon (AFTER NASHORS + BOOTS2) against someone with heavy sustain like warwick.

Jungle Azir is very rough starting out, but he clears so fast once you complete your jungle item (which I've only done the AP version so far, but I'm highly contemplating feral flare Azir).

It makes very little sense to prioritize Nashor's over Morellos. Not only do you hit your 20% cdr power spike faster with Morellos, your soldiers scale with AP and you get mana regen to top it off.

Your bullying potential lane is far far higher with an early Morellos than a Nashor's tooth.
