Kassadin is roughly the hardest matchup for Azir due to his kit and because he scales most of the times. If you have to play this matchup you can win the lane but he will most likely nuke the rest of your team.
Ban Worthy
Irelia
Irelia is really hard to beat because of her massive damage in the early levels. You have to avoid fighting her and just safely poke her, once you reach level 6 wait for her to dive you and be careful because she can dash out of your ult.
Update: She is a bit weaker in the midlane now so you will have an easier lane but all of the stuff above still apply!
Yone
Yone is hard because once he gets a few items you will not be able to do anything to him. Get any advantage you can in early game or else you will lose. Ask jungler for help.
Sylas
This is a really annoying matchup because of the massive healing sylas has. Play aggresive in the early levels but once he gets his W (life steal ability) you need to play defensive and wait for your jungler to help. Dodge his chain stun aswell or else you might die.
Renekton
Croc
Zed
Well I guess Zed is a bit easier than the others because if he misses his combos you can kill him but be careful of his shadows since he easily dodge your abilities and then oneshot you.
Fizz
Fizz is fair pre-6 because he cannot really solo kill you unless you go for level 1 fights or stupid trades but after he gets his ult he can easily oneshot you. You have to dodge his ult because if he lands it on you it is pretty over for you.
Banshee can be good in this matchup. ( I rarely build this)
Lee Sin
Not seen that much but if you ever encounter Lee Sin mid you have to play safe since one q is enough to get onto you and kill you.
Vel'Koz
Vel Koz mid is actually hard to deal with because of his insane poke damage. You have to play smart and ask your jungler for help since he is very immobile. After 6 you can bait him to your tower and easily kill him as he is slow and has 0 mobility.
Neeko
Rarely seen in my elo but I think she can kill you pre-6
Ahri
I rarely play this matchup but if you do encounter this you have to play the dodging game because she can easily kill you if she lands her charm due to her high burst damage.
Xerath
Xerath is a lane bully and you will get very annoyed because of his poke. You can try to go for trades with him but if he lands his stun he can nuke your health bar. Your jungler is the key for this lane.
Cassiopeia
As Cassiopeia's E was recently buffed she can deal a huge amount of damage so respect that. Poke her and dont stand in her abilities. After 6 you can try to kill her but be very careful because if she lands her ult you will watch her melt you.
Yasuo
Skill matchup. If the yasuo is smart he can easily avoid your soldiers and kill you. You have to poke him a lot and make sure that his passive is down all the time because it can easily screw you over.
Anivia
This is going to be a boring lane, you have to dodge her stun and ask your jungler to gank you because you will most likely not be able to kill her due to her passive.
Corki
Barely ever played against a Corki so I assume you have to play aggressive and be careful once he has his passive since it can easily get you killed.
Aurelion Sol
If the aurelion sol is a good player he will perma roam with his e and get his laners ahead. Make sure you ping everytime he dissapears.
Diana
Try to dodge her Q's and be careful because she can easily dash to you. After 6 you have to bait out her ult and then you can kill her.
Katarina
The main key to beating Katarina is to keep poking her since shes kinda squishy. After 6 you can easily cancel her ult with yours.
Dont stand in the god damn daggers!
Ziggs
He outpokes you so you gotta be very aggresive and dodge his bombs if you can. Ask jungler for help.
LeBlanc
I rarely have problems in this matchup but she can easily remove your entier healthbar as she is very op right now.
Malzahar
Free lane for me, your soldiers easily remove his passive and you outdamage him unless he lands his ult on you. The reason he is a bit harder than akali is because his ultimate requires you to buy qss or else you will die.
Zoe
You will either have fun or rage. You outdamage her but be careful of her cc because if she lands it youre dead.
Lux
Most people think lux is easy but since she got a pretty huge buff she actually became a good midlaner and now has stronger poke damage so it is easier for her to kill you. As long as you dodge her stun I think you are fine after 6 you can beat her.
Karthus
Dodge his Q spam and youre fine
Akali
With the buff she will be getting in patch 11.21 it will be easier for her to oneshot us, just poke her everytime she comes up for CS! After level 6 try to bait her in your tower but watch out as she can dash out of it with her ultimate
Jarvan IV
J4 = Azir's best friend.
He ults and you can just kill the enemy inside his ult without taking any damage.
Leona
Her CC gives you enough time to kill the enemy.
Pyke
If pyke can land his stun then you are guaranteed a kill.
Amumu
Same thing as the others, his cc gives you enough time to kill the enemy.
Yasuo
If you land a good 5-man airbone and the yasuo is there to press r you will have fun.
Fiddlesticks
He has insane CC and insane damage so he should be able to help you in many ways.
Lulu
Big Azir? Heck yeah
Ivern
He has decent damage and if he shields you just dash into the enemy to deal a lot of damage.
Kha'Zix
Do not pick azir with a kha zix on your team.

!!! THIS IS MY FIRST GUIDE EVER SO I DONT PROMISE THAT EVERYTHING IS RIGHT !!!
Welcome to my guide!
You might be wondering some of these questions:
Who are you? -- Hello, people call me Lizard because that is my league of legends name and I enjoy playing this game and I obviously main Azir, my rank right now is Gold 3 and the highest I've ever been was plat 4.
Why did you decide to make this guide? -- I just wanted to try and make my first guide simply because I was bored and had nothing else to do, it can be helpful to some people but this guide is not that good since I am a pretty low rank.
This will look nicer in the future when I figure out how all the stuff on the guide editor are used.
Pro / Cons
Here are the Pros and Cons for Azir!
Pros:
- Fun to play
- You can make gamechanging plays
- Unexepected damage
- No one really hard counters Azir
- Decent wave management
- Can easily escape ganks if you play correctly
Cons:
- Squishy
- Takes practice to not feed (Hard champ)
- Does bad against most of the meta champs
Abilities
I will list a few small stuff about most of the abilities Azir has:
- ( There isnt anything that special with your passive, just dont waste it on pointless stuff)
- ( As it was recently buffed and it costs less mana you can use it to poke the enemy or secure cs in lane, do not spam it tho as you will run out of mana)
- (Nothing that interesting about your W, but keep in mind that once you have 3 soldiers up you will have increased attack speed. You can also use this to get vision in bushes)
- (This is your "escape" tool, use it only when you want to go for a trade or shift into your tower to survive. DO NOT waste it on anything as it can cost you the game!)
- (Ah yes, the ability that finally gives you some peeling and cc, you can use it for many stuff, there isnt anything I have to explain at all but be careful in teamfights because you cannot just go in and ult, you have to think of what youre doing or else you will get melted in a few seconds)
Combos
I will not list all of the combos, only the ones you need to know!
