Azir Matchups Overview
Azir General information
Azir tips and tricks
Stand at the maximum distance possible when playing against melee champions so they cannot get on to you. Use your range advantage against these champions to keep them low.
Use your Ultimate R as a defensive tool rather than a tool to engage with if it’s not necessary. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be the playmaker all the time.
You can build a replacement tower in the middle lane after taking the tower and then look to roam.
