I'm considering buying a new mid laner. Sould I get Azir or Ekko?

Both are powerful AoE zoners with massive damage, and both are not exactly self-sufficient (Ekko restricts himself in the delayed AoEs he chooses and Azir can only attack through his relatively immobile soldiers -- if you send them out and get caught without Q or E you're as good as a ranged minion).

I am an experienced Xerath and Fiora so restricted mobility (you cannot run, just zone them out) and zone-restriction (you have to be in certain positions at certain times to succeed) are things I am relatively used to. However I'm under the impression that it's much easier to carry with Azir than with Ekko.

Actually I've never seen an Ekko actually carry -- he's really opportunistic but if the team is losing, he can't do shit. Whereas Azir can easily dictate entire teamfights without having to dive in or requiring the team to force the enemy team into bad positions (say, an Ekko W+hologram situation).
