Azir dominates the meta (17th most popular, 4.5% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Ekko (3.1% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of mid lane's current powerhouses. Challenging situation: Azir's weak 47.8% overall win rate compounds with this difficult matchup, creating serious obstacles for climbing. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Grasp of the Undying + Demolish combination (50.3% win rate) plus optimal itemization Nashor's Tooth, Shadowflame, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 43.8% to 61.9% - potentially game-changing.
Farm your way back: Azir's superior farming (7.04 vs 6.42/min, 13th among Mid) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.62 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Azir outputs more damage (774 vs 764/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Ekko: leads in both matchup win rate (56.2%) and KDA (2.30 vs 2.00, 36th vs 49th place). Azir players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.
Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
The magic damage that Azir deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Ekko deals primarily magic damage (79.62%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Azir is higher farming statistics (ranked 13th among role champions) (versus 39th for Ekko), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.3 versus 2.0) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Azir player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Ekko player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
