View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Fizz Mid vs Azir Mid in patch 15.24 (25.24), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 67.1% in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

Fizz dominates the meta (14th most popular, 4.3% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Azir (2.7% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of mid lane's current powerhouses. Surprising upset: Despite Fizz's higher tier rating, Azir wins 51.1% of encounters. This suggests Azir's kit specifically counters Fizz's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Electrocute + Sudden Impact combination (75.4% win rate) plus optimal itemization Luden's Companion, Lich Bane, Zhonya's Hourglass, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 48.9% to 67.1% - potentially game-changing.

Survive and scale: Fizz faces both matchup (48.90%) and farming disadvantages (6.13 vs 7.55/min). With a 1.42 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Outclassed across the board: Azir leads in both matchup win rate (51.1%) and damage (850 vs 745/min). Fizz must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Fizz maintains better KDA (2.30, 23rd place vs 55th for Azir), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Azir as Fizz (Mid)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Fizz versus Azir matchup in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Fizz deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Azir deals primarily magic damage (91.99%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Azir, ranking 5th (versus 42nd for Fizz) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.9 versus 2.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Fizz Mid versus Azir Mid matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Fizz player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Azir 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.

Fizz tips:

  • Since Fizz can move through units, find opportunities in lane to walk through minions and apply Seastone Trident's passive - following it up with the ability's active attack after a few seconds.
  • Fizz's ultimate ability, Chum the Waters, can be aimed at an enemy or towards the area where you think they'll be going.
  • Fizz's spells scale off Ability Power - consider getting items like Zhonya's Hourglass or Banshee's Veil against teams that have high burst threat - and items like Lich Bane or Rabadon's Deathcap if you think you can survive without the Health.

Playing Against Azir

  • Azir relies on his soldiers to deal damage and can only move them so often. Try to capitalize on windows of time when his soldiers are stationary.
  • Azir has immense damage over a prolonged amount of time but lacks the upfront burst of other mages. Try to burst him out before he can turn a confrontation around.
  • Try to think of Sand Soldiers as fire. Don't stand in the fire.
