Hey guys! Sorry about the runes/items being missing. We removed it from the video as it'll change soon and the rest of this guide will work for a very long time. Here are the Azir items/runes for now though: Recommended Runes: Conqueror, Presence of Mind, Alacity, Coup de Grace + Absolute Focus, Scorch Recommended Build Path: Luden's / Liandries with Sorceror's Shoes -> Nashor's Tooth -> Deathcap -> Zhonyas / Void Staff

There’s almost nothing this champ can’t do. Azir after using 2 Qs before 8 minutes: I HAVE NO MANA

After all these years, we finally got the guide we deserve for Shurima!

Whenever I watch an Azir guide, it has always failed to mention about his control over an area. It ,honestly for me, had always been his strongest aspect. It ties in with him being a high range champion and the fact that he could place multiple soldiers. Imagine a situation where all players are in one lane and a clash seems really imminent. Now, both teams only have to have one of their players initiate so they could clash. Azir could seperately place soldiers until you cover the whole site, poking any enemy looking to initiate the fight. It becomes like a wall of thorns of sorts. This harass lowers their hp, their mana, their aggro, their confidence to even start a clash. Azir can literally stop a play by the enemy before it happens. Any champion can do the same but they cant cover as much ground as much as azir with his soldiers split up. This works even in jungle. This why riot has Azirs soldiers kind of split up after casting q. His whole kit is really designed to create as much space as possible, with his soldiers, his passives turret, and his ult. Azir is meant to dominate the certain space he is in. ALSO, his soldier aa pokes a bit outside its range whenever hitting something within its range. You can use this when the enemy likes to hide behind minions. Just position the soldier nicely and you maximize azirs range. I'm not really sure if this is true still, but its the best way to maximize his range. This guy has been my main since season 5. Still is the best champ for me. Glad that riot at least had let us choose how his rework will be done back then.

I really liked the "how to play like a (champion) main" and love to see it again These are the best guides on a champion i could fined that actually have everything about that champ in one video Also in the intro you said that you will go through the runes and items but the video doesn't include them and im not sure what runes are best with azir

thx so much, this will realy help me :D

Not saying I’m a professional or anything but this guide is probably one of the best out there

Skillcapped in their tierlist video: Azir is pretty much the worst midlaner in the entire game Skillcapped in their guide video: Azir is broken and a mistake from Riot

This is making me wanna play azir frfr

There is one more combo not mentioned and it is Azir Insec. W -E (to enemy)- R towards origin and quickly before finishing the dash to your E- and as soon as you connect to your soldier, Q back to your origin point.

So how do you play azir from behind in a teamfight scenario?

Idk why but sometimes when i do shurima shuffle it sometimes bug and it looks like i didnt cast q but i did and then it unfreeze and i die someone have fix?

Great Guide but i wished you included things like items and runes as well

do this series for Akshan next

Man i love this hero but you have to keep in mind so much xD but he is giga interessting 2 play

I'll definitely try m out after this video

This looks awesome, I've been looking for a champion to play Mid and climb with. In low elo, though, he is one of the lowest win rate champions. What in this guide works differently from how people play him in Bronze and lose?

How exactly do i combine attack move click and target Champions only ? Or do you just mean toggle it on and then use attack move click?

Wow good to know I was doing something right in solo queue instead of getting tagged as KDA player.

The Final Combo: W E auto (predict flash) R

As someone who plays azir from time to time this video explains alot really well, however the buggyness of his ult is really understated

With on-hit effect added. He can finally use Nashor tooth properly, which will give him more duel power. Some more fun items like kraken and lich bane are worth to take a look guys.

No item discussion?

Am I crazy or did they forget about the runes and items? Would really love to hear about that topic.

You never went over runes and items?

Ah just in time for the on-hit change on him xD

"by far" and "maby potential" in the same sentence made my brain bleed xD And its only been 2.5 seconds into the vid :O

ummm forgot the Revenant combo :P

AY YOU CANT DO US LIKE THIS

Just imagine how broken release date Azir would be in todays meta.

why do skill capped put azir at the bottom of the tier list?

qiyana next plssss

where is my revenant shuffle combo!!!

Did you forget the runes and items?

This is just like the Pantheon situation

Missed out runes and items..

Oh god. Azir buffs. We've been here before.

Where items and runnes ?

i play azir support in emerald and it is fun af and you dont need to be good player to reach it . i dont change ward, i dont know about wave management, i dont buy pinks, and since s6 i learned 1 thing my guts tell me when gank will happen on bot lane. in my games with friends i often say in random moments by my guts we are ganked and my friends 70% dont listen to me or overextend and die :> and i tell them told ya

You forgot the insec combo. Without the Autos, because the insec matters its: W E R Q-backwards.. use W E to dash to the enemy, R them towards your team/nexus and shuffle back mid-dash with Q. Simply put: Just like the Juke at 6:47 , just snug the R in mid-dash

items?

One thing yall forgot was his runes and itemizations - what runes does he go? What items in what circumstances?

No runes options

easir

You didnt let us know the runes and items. How am i supposed to 1 v 9 without them D: Great guide though, very thorough +1 like

Where runes and items ? 😅

HOW DID HE DASH IN 1.10

it was a good guide, you lack to explain the more advanced combos, like revenant shuffle or the dash with second w (w e w q , if you time it correctly you can get to the end of the dash with 2 soldiers and still performing the shuffle.) also, hiting enemies from behind walls is mandatory, and, azir is not building lost chapter btw, even with the lost chapter the poke isn't as reliable as before, nashor teeth is a better first item because of the damage, i'll say that you can win like, if your laner is bad, all lines, but if is a good player, 50 are winable by skill issue, but 50 are not winable because of stat check. (before lvl 6) after that, you can win anything

My main 2 problems when playing Azir: 1. Teammates feeding before 15 minutes and wanting to FF so I can't even buy 2 items 2. Teammates picking a full squishy team. Special mention to those top Vayne and AP Voli both useless AF

Shurima

after watching this video i just played like azir main lolxd

W > Q (to have max range) > E > Q (go back) > RR, shuffle them to our team

you mention you're gonna talk about runes at the start of the video and never even covered them, runes are really important because there's so many you can go, conq, lethal tempo, summon aery, arcane comet, HoB and etc

Vlad is the highest carry potential mid in the game and dont u forget it

Azir is by FAR the strongest. So many champs in this game have an insta-kill in 1 point and click ability or skillshot. Azir has decent extended damage through a fight, but still not the most or consistent.

where da builds tho

Now people wanna play my champ

I've just finished my first Azir game :D ... it was a 4v5 for us, the enemy Evelynn disconnected at level 1. It was 42 minutes game X.X I played Azir at botlane, with a Janna Support 5/11/7 my ama at the end, almost every other lane inflicted 50k+ damage, including the enemy with all 4 dealing 50k+ Janna? 17k :D me? 15k :D Azir is weak ;-; Azir is hard ;-;

As an azir otp I say you yhey really did a great guide but the think about the tower being usefull is propaganda(also he is so fragile, the tower and he)

Fun fact: Azir's AA doesn't get blocked by Yasuo's wall, because it's not a projectile

Learning Champions that don't synergize with me is really hard, like Aang Learning Earth Bending!!! I tried to play Pyke as support main and I struggle with his in and out playstyle... I would love to be as good as this player on screen as support Zir looks Amazingly possible...

You know what this videou would have been even better is you use clips from iconic plays in the back. As someone who played azir since release there's still a bit more you can squeeze into this video to make it the absolute Azir Guide.

"a jack of all trades is a master of none" is not the full saying. It is "a jack of all trades is a master of none is often times better then a master of one" and THAT fits azir to a T

5:28 Damn his username is "NinjaAqua". What a man of culture.

I feel like yorik and azir are very similar. In split pushing, minions and making things 6 v 5

Will this magically increase Azir's.winrate even by half a percent? Maybe

OG facts here only veterans would know Some people may remember that Azir's attackspeed increases with cooldown reduction But did you know that with his release he can damage turret by directly casting W on it?

Feels like a point and click champ? So like every adc except hes way harder than them lol

stop it you're helping me kill my fellow silvers tryna fight a fizz at level 3

Play like a azir main❎ Play like a faker✅🐐😎

After watching this guide i think i'm better than faker

No one wants to hear that a unique and interesting champion they want to play is like the easiest in the game, I wanted to play him because of his difficulty, now Idek if I will

and THEN HE GOT NERFED THE NEXT PATCH X D LMAO

IT'S FUN HOW THEY DIDN'T EVEN SHOW RUNES XD

I thought people didn't play him because he's super buggy

Where is the runes and items? Ahahahah

Hiya, I'm an emerald 4 player that found a strat on Twitch, which got me to diamond 2 with about a 75% win rate and I am not slowing down yet. If we'd ignore the losses where people went afk, the win rate shoots up to 90%. This might sound copium, but I have the stats to back it up. It requires next to no skill. If I'm not using the specific strat, even on Twitch, I still perform at a low emerald level. Hit me up if you want to know the secret sauce. I think you guys like the "improve your rank easily" type of strategies. Especially towards the end of the season. The strat might not even work again next season, so this is THE time to abuse it. It's not reliant on your ally picks Edit: I have shown the strat to a couple of my irl buddies, and they all shot up at least a full tier using the strat.

45% winrate as "one of the best carries", "one of the best teamfighters" etc. what?

“we will be going over basics combos laning play style runes and items” ok buddy you showed a couple of those things but didn’t mention runes once and barely spoke about items “buy mana item if you run out of mana” gee why didn’t i think of that what a half assed video replaying the same clips over and over, the combos section was helpful but other then that you kinda just straight up lied lol BUT HEY BUY OUR COURSE!!!!!

"How to play like an Azir main" Know not to play him in SoloQ if you're below high elo because of a lack of team coordination.

How come azir is so strong when his winrate is trash ?

Tell me why then azir has the worst win ratio of all champ On mid

First game, azir 0/11 🥲

scamer want to make me lose lp

bwahahah very high demand for azir guides after faker ruined azirs winrate in worlds :')

STRONPEST COME BACK PLAY RYZE

I think everyone knows hes overtuned. Why does a pigeon god have to do so much damage? Because, yes. He's really dependent on teammates for protection (like you saw him using that poor little kaisa) and we all know the lack of coordination that soloQ is. So soloQ azir, most often than not, is just grief. Now watch out for NORMS azir....its all practice squads in there.
