Tips for Azir mid
I recently bought azir because i like his complex playstyle and I wanted to learn because ive seen that he can easily outplay many champs. Tips for using his abilities and timing?

You kinda got him at a bad time because one of his simple but very useful mechanics were just taken out (the knockup on his E). There is a mechanic that is fairly easy to pull off but hard to actually learn properly and pull off every time and I'm pretty sure its called drifting. You basically summon a solider in front of you then E and very quickly after your E you move your curser to a location that is different than your end path and then you Q and it will kind of make you dash in a curve. It can get you over multiple walls and get you behind your enemy instead of Q/E'ing straight into them and being in front of them.

If they push too far up, just EWQ behind them and ult them into your tower and they will probably die. Azir has a large skill cap that has gotten smaller/ but also larger from the removal of his E's knockup. Easier, because its one less mechanic... but also harder, because you no longer have that mechanic.
While laning, place down a soldier on top of the enemy. AA. then when they run out of AA range use your Q, then AA more. Thats a general poke tip for lane phase.
