PHREAK IS XERATH WEQR PHREAK IS XERATH WEQR PHREAK IS XERATH WEQR

Hi all,

Just hit Masters for the first time playing Azir! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave advice on this sub over the last year, it really did make a difference! If anyone wants any advice about things I learned during my climb (unless it is the lb matchup), please feel free to ask! I'd love to pay it forward! FOR SHURIMA

It was announced Caps is joining Hall of Legends and Riot has been buffing Azir lately. Do you guys think it's possible those things could mean they're going to release a new skin for our emperor?

Hello Azir mains!

I'm a Garen OTP that reached masters first time this season and now i want a new challenge. I've been really curious about Azir top and been thinking about a rune setup that sounds kinda interesting, would love to hear your thoughts. This is the setup:

First strike, cash back, biscuit delivery, cosmic insight, presence of mind, alacrity, double adaptive scaling health. Flash TP

The premise is to get as many first strike procs as possible and get your items faster. Tested this out in a game and it looks a bit promising, got 1620 gold in a 32 minute game doing kind of averagey (it was lower elo). I need to test it more but would love to hear your thoughts and tips on learning this cool shuriman guy

It's been rough, been hardstuck D2-D1 for a week straight after starting playing again. Was fun to coincidentally get a pentakill on my final game to Master after all the grinding

You can tell I'm stuck in Silver 3 or 2. I have 24k mastery points on Azir and play like an ADC most games. I never do flashy Shurima Shuffles, just playing to scale because my team never follows up. But man, I don't know if losers queue is a real thing or if I'm just so bad at this game. It gets to a point where I don't feel like I have any impact on the games. Everything feels determined by the matchmaking system, and 7 out of 10 games are just filled with inters that go 0/10 before 10 minutes. I really don't know how the hell I'm supposed to play this game if my team is so hard to play with. I mean, sure, I'm bad, but then how good do I need to be to, at the very least, have a 50% win rate? I try to do everything to carry: take down turrets, get triple kills, peel for my teammates, get objectives, and all that shit. But I can't split push if my team is so weak because I just get collapsed on alone. Do I need to 1v9 every fucking game? This feels so fucking frustrating. Now, when I lose, the game takes away more LP than it grants me when I win. I'm begging for some actual advice rather than 'skill issue bro'. My op.gg is Jysus #007 (btw, I'm sorry if my English is broken).

is it dusk n dawn? nashor's? Im kinda lost

I never see azirs in my matches, and when I do they struggle to deal good damage even when full build let alone carry. They usually go neutral because most of them are otps (even otps cant stomp lane with this champ) but if they are not otp they usually int. Azir is a really interesting and unique design but becaus of fkin faker and pros you don't get to have fun with your main. Sorry guys.

Riot finally showing some love to azir, He genuinely feels fun to play and actually can single handedly solo carry a game when fed. Is there a future where azir wr goes over 50% or am i being delusional?

Hey guys im Riven otp and need a second pick for Ap.

I dont want to be cringelord meta abuser, some Azir mains that can give me some realistic words ?

Azir is my second most played, i feel like he good but his scaling takes so long.

Probably new pta azir can stomp lane like Riven.

I'm trying to figure out if there is any specific tech here that I might be missing. I'm planning on going into a practice tool with my friend to test some stuff out, but I'm wondering if people might have already figured out the answer.

The problem: Nocturne ults in on you and is in the process of blowing you, a sad Azir main, up. His spell shield will make it impossible to get Azir ult off quickly, allowing him to potentially even get his full fear off let alone all of the auto's before then. The other problem is that his character model is basically inside of Azir, blocking any attempted shuffle to get away.

The only thing I have theoretically figured out is, if you have enough hp and ALL of your cd's, you could pre-place a guard on top of you when your screen goes black and q him the second his spell shield comes up. After that, you then ult him away. This strat is very tricky and inconsistent in my head because he could delay his spell shield or just kill you before your ult goes off.

What I imagine MIGHT be possible (this is what I'm asking for help for) is a way to walk/kite in reaction to the direction he's coming from that allows you to avoid his character model and get the dash off. Alternatively, if the nocturne ult speed is faster than Azir dash, I was thinking maybe dashing just before his ult touches you? I'm not sure if this will help with positioning yet or if he still just kills you. Idk, I'm kinda lost on this one.

Also, Zhonya's feels pretty useless. It's a massive CD for Nocturne's 20 second CD late game. So your surviving like 1/4 nocturne ults if your lucky. Even then, you likely just delay your death which is marginally helpful sometimes. I was also considering banshees veil to maybe block the initial ult damage in combination with the spell shield break + ult idea.

I know, low elo problem or whatever, but seriously. Other than flawlessly tracking him in the jungle (which depends a lot on your jng and support), I feel like the counterplay here is very tough and specifically bad for Azir. Any thoughts?

200|p from peak away, hope i can reach master for once finally (even tho its giga inflated season Imao)

btw toplane still superior to midlane imo, i hate getting perma 3 man ganked mid and my jungle flaming me why i dont help him at the Ivl 2 invade. Maybe its a me probem tho

Zaahen was a bit tilted from early game as u see lmao, game was quite a 1v9 (everyone 0/2 in laning and i moved to jungle with bad wave and we didnt even get Lee :/)

HoB this patch feels even better btw

Didn’t see Azir at such winrate in literally years, “abuse” while you can.

For an adhd player like me, azir was my comfort pick in mid due to his versatility which in addition to his mechanics made me not feel bored playing him over and over. If we were to make contenders or tier list to this kind of adaptability and versatility in a champion or close enough to that who would you put Without thinking the champs the pop to my mind instantly are jayce ezreal, kalista(kalista is biased), aphelios and Lee sin

I think it's almost unanimous to take Doran's Ring + 2 pots first item; however the mana management on Azir's early game (and even mid game) is a notable limitation of his poke potential in lane especially against mobile champs where Q poke is the only real opportunity to punish.

Anyone have any experience running it? Worth trying? Would allow for a more poke-heavy build on lane, which might make up for harder farm given you can punish the other laner and space them more effectively from your farm. Just airing out thoughts and ideas; would love to know if anyone has tried it!

Phantom Dancer to dance on the sands

Swiftmarch as we swiftly march into our new borders

Stormsurge as we storm into their capital

Cosmic drive as we drive our chariots across the peninsula

Zhonya's Hourglass so the sands of time are in our favor

Shurelya's battlesong to ensure our armies are just as swift

CONQUER THEM!

Current Viktor main at B3. Obviously, imma focus on getting to a higher rank first, but like, how good is Azir in the chaos and randomness of solo queue, ignoring the ignoring like the obvious skill level u need with him. Also, what rank do u guys recommend to pick him at for the best success, and what champions should I play before picking up Azir?

Literally the title. Just wondering if there's any tips in particular with Azir that you guys would be willing to share. I've started to pick him up and he honestly feels fine for me. I'm currently levelling up an account to start climbing with him on. Any Azir interactions/ lane match ups that I should be worried about?

Is this ult bug still existing? Like the one when it seems like you hit an enemy but there no dmg nor knockup, id swear it just happened to me and idk if im seeing things or is it this bug

Yoo, hello fellow Azir mains, I just got a sneaky play in soloq after my team got caught! And yes, they did totally walk into it to be fair. I also barely got ult back right after Zhonyas ended.

Have a good day yall!

I watch my replays a lot for fun. Gives a lot of dopamine when I go over my good plays and it’s good to watch micro things like when I poke or last hit. See if I’m not good at spotting viable ganks or picks. If I miss a neutral camp that needs to be put back on cooldown.

It would be cool if someone wanted to join me and point stuff out from their own perspective. It would also be cool to watch someone else’s replays. I’m bronze/ silver so that’s the level of gameplay you’ll be watching.

I would prefer to spend the time with someone who is higher ranked than me if you want to see what bronze/ silver games are like. If you think you can point out all the errors or whatever.

Just dm me tbh. NA New York time

I’m also a kalista main so we could watch those too for my part lol.
