this was helpful. personally i think Azir is way underpowered right now and needs his kit reworked....

Not at all. I've had a lot of success with Azir in a large number of matchups. The only thing that I loathe is the Q responsiveness. Anyway, here are the matchups Azir players should avoid (from my expereince): Lux, Fizz, Ziggs, Xerath, LeBlanc, and Ahri. On a side note, Azir is actually a strong counter to Yasuo and Katarina, which is good.

i have had limited success against Yas so i know that is true but my problem is how limited Azir is.... they say themselves that he cannot do burst damage but does sustained damage over time...... like an adc but apc form..... which means he cant burst someone down in a teamfight. but then he has little CC too because the slow barely slows and the knockup.... well it puts you facefirst into a teamfight and ive seen that go very wrong. he just does too little damage, is too squishy and has very little CC to compensate. anyone that moves around alot and plays aggressive can easily kill Azir... even yas. you can only move the soldiers so much and even though they are most of his damage its just minimal until higher levels... i noticed late game he does fine but ive never seen him do well or even remotely ok until 20-30 minutes in

Azir isn't a burst mage. He's a DPS mage with strong lane poke and zoning potential. The knockup is for chasing only and not for an initiation while the ultimate should only be considered as a defensive ability. As for his "small" amount of cc, that's because you aren't building correctly. I make it a point to obtain Rylai's Crystal Scepter as it's passive refreshes on each soldier autoattack and stacks with his Q's slow. Anyway, my finished build for Azir is usually this: item 3158 , item 3115 , item 3003 ,item 3116, item 3157, item 3089 .
