How to Use Azir Counter Data
Searching for dependable Azir matchups? The figures below are pulled from live ranked Mid lane games, rather than from a tier list someone guessed at. Right now Veigar, Fizz, and Vladimir give Azir the most trouble, with his lowest win rates in the current data set. Veigar is the hardest of them: Azir takes only 41.0% of 249 recorded games against him. Going the other way, Azir does well against Mel, Ryze, and Yasuo, so those are the safer matchups to face.
Every card lists Azir’s win rate along with the number of games it’s based on. A matchup with tens of thousands of games deserves more trust than one with a few hundred. Easy, Even, and Hard labels are derived from the win rates (under 48% counts as Hard, over 52% as Easy). They’re meant to help you read the numbers quickly and aren’t a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, on patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does. Matchups only tell part of the story, so pair them with the current Azir build for the best items and runes, or visit the Azir champion page for ability breakdowns and complete details.
