Who Wins
- You lose most 1v1s pre-6 due to Azir's superior range and poke damage with Q-auto combos.
- Post-6 you can threaten all-ins with Q-R combo, but Azir's R can interrupt your ultimate and his mobility makes landing Q difficult.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to W the wave when Azir steps up to poke, forcing him to take minion damage while clearing.
- Look for Q opportunities when he's animation-locked during soldier commands or overextends for CS.
Wave Control
- Push waves hard with W to match Azir's natural push and prevent him from freely poking you under tower.
- Prioritize getting priority for roams since you can't effectively trade in extended laning phases.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to walk up for extended trades or all-ins without landing Q first, as Azir will kite you with soldiers and E away.
- Avoid using E defensively against his poke since you need it to block his R displacement in crucial fights.
