Haha, Azir is one of my favorite champs to play against as Zed, you can fuck him up in a number of ways that it's not even funny (for him, at least heh).

First of all, Azir's damage comes from his soldiers only, without those he's worth nothing.

That means that, when he W-Q on top of you, DON'T retailate, that's a mistake most people do (and it's not about Zed only, any mobile assassin with burst and melee can trip into this), go balls deep on him instead, W in as Zed to get out of range of his soldiers and once you are on top of him, slash away as you being AD means he can't really trade AA with you, he has 2 options, wait for Q to trade again with you (early it's hard to do seeing the cd is not so low if he has used it just before..), or back as you keep AA-E him, mind the damage that minions do, the best time is when there are no cannon minions and\or you have more minions in lane than he does.

Azir's poke is strong yes, but you need to exploit your early game superiority, he does more damage than you do only if you stand around his soldiers too much.

His ult can be outplayed with your blinks and most especially with your ult, it's a mind game, you have to guess it, that comes with practice or very good reflexes, i rarely get hit by his ult in the laning phase anymore, if you are fed you should ult first and keep W if he uses ult so you can go through it, otherwise be always on top of him and when he ults you do too to dodge, and there's really nothing he can do.

I'll repeat, you gotta be aggressive and if he summons 2 soldiers and Q's on you, strike back by going ham on him, his soldiers are away from him and from you while you are on top of him.

He only gives me problems if he plays safe and doesn't summon more than one soldiers and saves his CDS AND rushes seeker's armguard for even extra safety.

I don't make any videos, but you can check out on YT people like Azoh or Redmercy that are very famous and friendly, they frequently post Zed videos and tricks with clarity.
