How to Beat Azir as Orianna (Mid)

The Orianna versus Azir matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Orianna 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 6th for Orianna) 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 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Orianna Mid versus Azir Mid matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Orianna player to maintain constant pressure on Azir, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Orianna tips:

  • Command: Protect can be used on yourself to return the Ball back to you quickly. Combine this with Command: Attack for a quick harassment.
  • Command: Dissonance is a very powerful escape tool if Orianna has the Ball. The combination of speed and leaving a slowing obstacle can be quite powerful.
  • Command: Shockwave can be used to drag enemies towards you or away from you if you position the Ball properly.

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.
