I've had some games with Azir (normals), and I've had sucess most of the time. I can't deny that he got weak early, but tear/chalice (depending on ad/ap matchup) after firt back fix his mana problems, and you will be able to poke with W-Q autos. He's good at kiting, do not underestimate the slow from Q, it has saved me many times, even picking up kills with low hp. Timing the kiting, W-Q-E escaping, ult and the Autos is crucial. Escaping with W-Q-E can feel clunky, but with smartcast(duh) and a little practice has made me been able to escape pretty fast.

Mid to late is where he shines, especially in long teamfights, and he's pretty good at defending.

weak at all ins (asassins), strong in teamfights. Just because of his defending and strong teamfight presence, i think he's usable.
