HOW TO PLAY REWORKED AZIR - FULL INDEPTH GUIDE - RANK 1 CHALLENGER MID 

Went from hardstuck silver to diamond in like a year mainly because of you. Thank you Shok. You're too generous.

Hey Shok, really love the concept of Azir. Played it blind for first time tonight. I went 2/10/2, we won thanks to a fed Zeri, but I was slightly disheartened. This guide was so good and really can’t wait to play a bunch of games and get comfortable with him. Really good guide, easy to digest and really nice that’s its free. You have a new sub. Thanks, Sol.

Thanks for the guide, I have been desperate for a post-rework azir guide, and I got delirious when I saw our lord and saviour shok blessesing us with his erudite about the sand bird once more

Legit never seen a guy make better guides, big respect! Starting the Azir arc 😈

I've been maining Azir for 3 Season now (started playing 4 seasons ago) and he's absolutely my favorite champ by far compared to the rest, its not even close. I'm sure I'll learn something new by the end of the video. I've been recently looking to climb and take ranked more serious - perhaps get coaching and from any coach I could possibly choose from, I think I'd definitely come to you eventually, your explanations are solid and easy to understand. Truly appreciate the content and your hard work. Thank you, Shok

Also. Your guides are amazing! You actually tell why sertain runes and items are good for a champion. Helps me understand the game better. Usually in guides it's just "for runes and items take these" and no explanation

Another thing i learned for azir is deciding after your ult if u want to put your w and getting used to where they are landing so you can put ur w and put in damage as fast as possible or if you want to get out

dude you are so clear and concise in your explanations, thanks for the guides :]

Thank you shok was crying tears of joy when i saw your azir guide been having such a hard time kiting with him.

You dropped this guide exactly when i wanted to play him again, merci !

One cool tip regarding them having vision of you if they see solider is you can take advantage of it and use it as bait. For example, so many times (mainly in higher elo) I purposely leave a solider in the middle of the lane to bait them to stop my recall. When they come to stop my recall I do full combo (w,e,q,r) them into tower and kill almost every time.

Informative and straight to the point - thx bro!

thanks for the tips mate, keep it up

Thanks for the update guide!

As an azir main and a member of the Shok church I want to thank you. All your vids including this one are always so informative and well put together. However I didn’t see u talk about the hob lindens combo. Bc 1 soldier on 1 target reduces luden xd by .5. And 2 soldiers 1 target 1 sec etc… I find myself going hob ludens often because u legit one shot squishies after dcap 3rd and are able to prod ludens at least 2-4 times each fight. Especially with ingenious hunter I’ve put up some crazy ludens passive dmg in games. U still think liandries is the way to go?

I really hope you do one for Ekko mid. Really like your contend keep it up!

awesome detailed vid

Shok putting out a crazy good quality guide as usual. Mans an unreal treasure among the sea of clickbaiter nothing but waste of time coaches on youtube

Thanks for the vid! When building the nashors whats the correct build path on that? Also how do you feel about dropping nashors and sorcs and getting berserker + something else (poss shadowflame?)

Shok, another great guide as always. Cheers, dude. Would be great to see one done for Lissandra. 🙏

i been building crown into shadowflame every game and the last day or so i started to implement the new builds you recommend and its genuinely like night and day, big up bro

best guides on YT :) . Azir is a very fun champ to play i Int to many games trying to initiate with shuffles lol

Thanks allot ♥️🙏🏼

hail of blades with ingenious hunter and crown/ludens is super nice, esp ludens.

i actually really like crown for these reasons: its cheaper, saving 400 gold feels pretty nice on a champ like azir I also think the passive is really good, after like 4 items you get quite a ap boost just from the passive and it gives you some extra life, getting life on azir feels really good, i think azir can be shut down easy if caught, some extra life can really make the difference

32:20 yeah that vision thing was meant to be a feature from release, roaming, recalling and ambushing with azir is the hardest (hard as in annoying)

Another day another Shok master piece.

As a not english guy, this video is very helpful on all points and we very understand well, thank's for this video :)

Thank you for this content

Great guide

Shok thank you very much for these wonderful guides on mide lane and champions. I wanted to ask you if you could bring a guide on Yasuo one day? The champion is pretty decent at the moment. A big hug from Italy and the European server. I always recommend your channel, for new players or people want learn wave managment. Clear and super informative

your guides are the best can you do a guide on lissandra or vladimir

Great video. Would still be interested in an improvement tier list, but no pressure, still the best mid content on yt. Edit: what would be a good 4th champ for a pool consisting of ahri(blind + mobility), swain(anti melee) and akshan(ad)? My guess is viktor(anti mage)...

Just the video I need.

Shok what are your thoughts on Riftmaker on Azir?

Hi Shock :D. please do a twisted fate guide

came here after 0/10 aram game, thanks for explaining the combos :D

Any tips for playing into champs like viktor or ori, i feel like whatever you do as azir in those lanes they will out trade you for the first 10-15 minutes, and it usually makes you fall pretty far behind.

what about gangplank?. is the matchup against gangplank difficult? you seem to have overlooked that one. I was a bit struggling agaisnt a GP today but every other laning phase was pretty easy

Where are these guides for the champs that I play :(. Love the vid tho may have to switch to azir.

are the runes in this vid still applicable to s14?

My man.... i love this Guide, I really do and it helps me a lot but where is the Skin Tierlist in it? Thats a quite important Part.

Hi! You said you hate crown but I saw you built later in the video in a example replay?

hey shok really liked the video. I am an azir main and got plat from silver in about a month and i had a couple questions. ive been going pta blackfrie rush into nashors and it feels really good for skrimishing. I was wondering why blackfire is worse than liandrys (especially vs squishy comps as early game blackfire would deal more) Also since liandrys no longer gives mana i like the chapter in lane a lot. In addition id like to know how viable pta is as a rune for azir or if it just gets outscaled too hard by conq.

Hey man! Could you make a mid lane matchup tier list with leblanc? (Similar to what KatEvolved did with katarina a year ago or so)

Hi Shok, I love your content and I appreciate your guides! I had a question, I'm Azir main and emerald 1 but I cant play some matchups, and I pretty much didn't play any other champ, what champ u recommend me for: 1-learn fast 2-counters counters of azir( I mean its counter of most azir's counters) 3-good in solo q so I can pick it when I don't play Azir

nice video if possible make one on yasuo

Whats up with the adherence with Cut down?

By the way, I kinda wanna pick up Azir, but I am in low elo, is he a good choice to pick up in low elo and use to climb? Or at least lock in as a counter pick?

You should make twisted fate guide

I'm new to playing league but been watching for a long time. Is it worth learning him now or starting when I'm more experienced? Great content tho 👌

Question. i play with press the attack is that bad? i find it more worth it for some reason, i kinda dont like conqueror all that much

Great video

Shok, this is constructive criticism. At 2:22 when you explain the runes, you say that cut down is "the only one that really does anything" which doesn't really explain anything lol. Just wanted to share this with you. It would be great to get an in-depth but simple explanation as to why it is more useful than the other two rune options. Thanks for reading!

I always go conquerer with scorch and transcendence to poke in lane, no need for mana when I have presence of mind and a back for lost chapter no?

What recording software does Shok use to record his mouse movements in game?

Cut down imo is a bit of a blunder regarding runes. Azir has one of the highest base health per level. Also the champ has several itempaths where you gain extra health. Coup de grace is much preferable imoy

Could you build roa? Specifically to get stats since the health is so valuable in the early game.

A long time ago, I remember seeing Azir buying Rylias a lot. Is that still a thing? If no, why not and could it still be a situational item?

For me, Azir is one of the hardest champs in the game, maybe even the hardest

Hello shok , can you please help me ? , I want to pick a champion for OTP , and im confused to choose between Vex , leblanc or vladimir , which one is the best rewarding and solo carry games by him self , i dont care about the champion's difficulty I just care about who the is the best rewarding and solo carry games by him self if masterd Leblanc , vex or vladimir Please help me ❤

I just played two games of azir in arena. Turns out, his soldiers do not apply attack or ability effects, meaning nashor's and the veigar augments are both useless on him :D

aint nothing more impressive then a good azir. so hard!

I keep wondering if there isn't a solution to Nashors. The problem is that the passive doesnt work off soldier damage. Is there no way to replace the attack speed with berserker+dagger or something

All I can say is... HECK YEAH BRO!!!

i laned into an akshan last night i noticed hes not on your list for matchups...we lost cuz he free roamed i didnt really know how to play it, importantly i didnt feed him

I love that they are changing azir again lmao

Im Starting Saphire crystal and refillable potion is it stupid

Are the matchups still pretty much the same? Saw your Azir road to rank 1 and how yas was a easy matchup.

also conqueror vs lethal. 100% the opposite of what you say. Conqueror is stronger in the earlygame than lethal. Attackspeed is a scaling stat, based on your champ level. Ap in the earlygame is a guaranteed dmg increase, also much stronger in skirmishes. Agree on the part that conqueror excallarates its usage once attackspeed is built. Usually rushing serkers does the job 1.1 k first item base and your early and midgame is far stronger than with lethal

why tf do people do e insta q instead of waiting for the e to get super close. You get like no exaggeration double the range in the e q

nice Video, as an Azir main, i just dont agree with taking manaflow, i feel like its completely useless on azir, cant remember ever going oom on that champ, if you go oom on azir you re probably farming with w's permanently or sth.

Bomba

Whats changed on azir since this guide came out? Regarding Runes and item builds mostly i guess

How do you play azir correctly in low Elo when your game could be over before you hit 1 item or even level 6 in some games?

30:30 when faker did this on Ruler in semi finals this worlds 🥵🥵

if you go ROA you can sidelane vs anyone, I think roa build should be looked at more often for soloq

What about Riftmaker on Azir?

guys dont forget to try fleet

Who else is watching after seeing Faker at Worlds!

Does Azor not want Gath Storm?

Lethal tempo has more dps than conquerer

is he still a good blindpick?

WUTTT he got reworked? I can't wait to see how many dashes RIot added xd

why lie @44:35 haha, you traveled halfway because you collided with sej, you aimed for yasuo. I KNOW BECAUSE I MAIN THIS BIRD AND IT HURTS SO BAD LOL 😂😂😂

Vid is very good - nice tips. I have been playing since 2015 back then Azir was stronger. He had RANGE advantage. Then Rito nerfed him to oblivion. Champion is REALLY REALLY HARD to play. I mean you have to sweat be careful play extra hard smart and safe on Azir ... Yet some one takes Master Yi or Katarina presses R and it is pentakill instantly... What i want to say playing Azir is HARD and worst part - its NOT REWARDED. RITO need to change his OLD RANGE back untill then champ is not playable - well only for masochists. PS It is true that Azir shines in late game its in 30 min .. But problem IS most games are won or surrendered under 20...

Shok jayce guide plz🥹
