Azir lacks health sustain. I don't believe spell vamp is worth building on him because of what you have to give up in order to get it. So if you get hit, you keep that damage until you get back to base, or find you allied support (if the support has a heal and is able to).

This is something I had to learn the hard way. You need to play safe. Very Safe. Until you can W+Q+E+AA(once is usually enough for the standard squishy character) someone to death.

In lane against him you need to try hard to poke him. If you do, you can successfully hit him two or three times early game, he needs to B or basically die under tower.

I think he is balanced this way. His lack of sustain is his weakness.
