How do you beat Azir?

Everytime i'm against an Azir, i just can't play because he keeps doing the W > AA > Q > AA combo and I'm forced to back or I die. Help me please D:

If your champ can make use of it, item 3060 is fun to use against Azir. The health regen and MR will tank the Q AA damage and banner'ing up a minion really pisses Azir off since they become immune to his soldier attacks.

Although item 3115 becoming more popular is making it less fun. You can just AA it with Azir and the attack speed takes the minion down quickly.

this is indeed a part of taking down azir. he's an AP mage, so the normal defense is to make magic resist, but that's generally not enough to get through the things. if you're playing a champion with any gap closers, that's gonig to help too. having the magic resist to weather the assult is helpful, but being able to close the gap and slay him is important too. If you have a tanky champ in your team, ask to trade lanes with them. it's suprising how much that matters.

Don't stand still. It should be a similar concept to dodging skillshots. You should constantly be kiting back in forth in lane as is. If you don't move in obvious directions, like walk down 1-2 cells then walk back up 3-4 then walk down 5 up 2, etc it doesn't give them a pattern they can follow. Sometimes when I lane versus people I can tell where their walking destination will end because they are doing the same stuff every time.

Champions that can sit in front of his face/don't mind his ulti (kassadin) are pretty good counters to azir. Oftentimes, his sand soldiers will go out in front of him but not actually near him, making him pretty bad in close range.

Try and keep track of his cooldowns when in lane against him. Unless he throws his W down right on top of you, he has to use his Q to put his soldier in range of you. So immediately after he throws a soldier at you, just walk around it and use this time to poke him down as much as you can. It's not much, but I find this helps

the easiest way is to outrange him with sth. like Xerath...or you go the easy root and just pick Morg.
