If you take Lethal Tempo, you would have to build differently. As in, Nashor's tooth wouldn't be as necessary on Azir if you have lethal tempo since it already provides you with the attackspeed. Whereas, for Comet and Aery, you're forced to take Nashors due to your lack of attack speed. It depends on how you like to build overrall.

u right

thank you, ill try to remember fixing that. although i haven't updated in forever

u know it

I was also skeptical because Azir is not that good rn

Your situation is pretty understandable. I was in the same situation as you before, I thought of the 6300 ip price as daunting. Especially since Azir seemed like an extremely complex champion to learn. I didn't want to waste my precious 6300 ip on a champion that I wouldn't be able to play. Moreover, I mained assassin champions, which made it even weirder to even buy Azir as a champion. Regardless, I'll be honest here, none of the champions you named really coincide with Azir's playstyle other than Ziggs. And even then, they aren't that similar. If anything, Azir is a beast of his own because he's a control mage with engage, poke and disengage (he's basically broken, hence why all the nerfs). You may play different champions, but that doesn't exactly mean it's your defined style. You should know what you're really searching for. Nonetheless, if I were you, I wouldn't let my "playstyle" block me from trying out a new champion. You can go watch some videos on youtube like gameplay or montages to see if anything in his kit interests you. If it makes you feel better, my top 4 most played champions are Rengar, Irelia, Vayne and Azir. And they're playstyles aren't the same whatsoever. I just enjoy playing the champion in general. Worst case scenario, if you really aren't sure about whether or not you want to buy Azir, you can wait for the free week rotation. I'm not exactly sure of the next time Azir will be able to come on free week, but it's a good time to test him out. If you find yourself interested in him the same way I did, you'll eventually save up some IP and buy him. If not, it isn't the end of the world, you'll find other champions out there. There are 140 champions in league of legends at the moment, I'm sure you'll be able to find something.

Hope that helped, sorry for replying a day late :)

I labeled my guide as "Agressive Azir" because I found it all too common for Azir players to be getting defensive runes. All in all, it really just depends on your playstyle and the matchup that you're in. I put Ignite as the main thing because it's viable in most scenarios. If you feel that you're going to need barrier to withstand some sort of burst, go for it. But I like to play aggressively that's all. Moreover, depending on the matchups and your confidence, you might want to opt for different summoner spells. If you think you're going to be in a farming lane where you can't kill your opponent (Anivia), you might as well get TP. If you're in a lane where getting CC'd will mean your death (Zoe), you might as well get Cleanse. If the enemy laner relies heavily on some sort of burst and you're afraid of not being able to handle it, get Exhaust or Barrier. If you're confident in winning the matchup, get ignite.

Regardless, the choice for summoner spells are really up to you as they are extremely situational with Azir. He's one of the few champions that can literally use any summoner spell. Although, I wouldn't recommend taking Ghost on azir.

Comments like yours make me extremely happy. I'm surprised to see someone log into their old mobafire account for the sake of upvoting my guide. It means a lot.

I will definitely add more detail to every matchup, and add a few more matchups! Since it seems to be something that people want. Also, I'll be adding stuff soon in Gameplay and Combos because I know people are in need of that as well. I've been neglecting those sections for quite some time now.
