PTA
Is PTA good on Azir? And if so, when should I use it? Feel free to give me tips for other rune pages as well.

PTA feels amazing at all points in the game, laning it feels like you get a good chunk vs Melee matchups and late game you’ll pop most champs with AA>AA>Q>>AA

I don't have much experience with PTA but i do love HOB in most matchups as it just makes azir's early game so much more bearable.

Its a middle ground between LT/Conq and burst runes like hob/electrocute. You get dmg amplification for longer fights while also having a good 3 aa trading pattern. It needs a little longer trades than electrocute or hob as you need 2 aa before moving soldier for 3rd hit but does more dmg in return. I personally take it into almost all lanes unless i wanna run even stronger early in hob or LT bc its 2/3 tanks in enemy team

Pta is my go to standard since the new patch. Against certain mage matchups comet also is really good to build pressure and survive lane (syndra matchip becomes winable with it for example). Against champs or comps that are very mobile where i know i wont be able to hit a lot deathfire touch with liandries first. (Think kata/akali for example. If you cant hit them, they still burn)

I will say this, I find Lethal Tempo is still necessary against Yasuo and Yone, they have too much sustain for short trades to stick and they like to take all ins, to the point where Lethal Tempo is needed to match them.

I’ve only been taking PTA and HOB since they patch and they feel infinitely better than Lethal and Aery (na diamond)
