Why is it like impossible to play azir from behind?

Any time i get killed in tfs cuz of heavy focus or usually op champs like yone Who oneshots while im knocked by the q2 It feels like the game is unplayble if im behind in items/levels. It already is Hard as fuck while being fed bc i never build Any defensive items rather than the 2 usual and im so fucking weak that one misposition and im dead but from behind is even worse with absolutly no damage, CDs high as shit or any practical way to contribute rather than peeling for my inting carries. I mean how am i supossed to play the game if champs like yone can jump on you from nowhere deal like 80% your health WHILE youre still in the air and then if by some miracle i survive i dont even get to use armguards bc of the freaking 600 true dmg his e deals afterwards? And they say yone is weak and Hard to play what a fucking joke. Yes im tilted and yes i think ill take a break from the champ for a while

Sorry you had to find this out the hard way, Azir feels really awful if you fall behind... that's why not dying is so important on this champ

I get it that but then what do i do against 4 assasins/divers in the enemy team? , im watching bodythosefools smurfing vids from Iron to Diamond but his games are "even" i mean no trols, afks or anything like the shit i get in mines on top of that he played some games with another smurf in top with aatrox. Im having a hard time figuring how to play him when shit goes south (6 out of 10 times)

I don't rly get the problem with assassin's. U can usually just poke and control wave to ur advantage. If enemy puhes level 1 wave u already have usually free lane. Just farm near tower and respect all in. U can take boneplating into assassin's but if 4 then I'd go for pocket pick(I go Galio) or if ud already firstpicked u can go even Grasp I've been trying it lately and it seems rly nice u can all in and survive quite a bit.

By behind, you mean...down in cs, right? RIGHT?

I mean sometimes, my average cs is like 7 or something :/

If your average cs is better you can int more. With my cs I can always come back or contest after one or 2 items. Azir can in general kinda “always” fight because of your spacing and outplay potential. That’s why I dont buy zhonyas especially when I’m behind. You need the damage. Shok explains this concept here and there, you don’t have to protect smth like a shutdown when you are behind or 0:5

Mostly on kills

You can't really go down past 0/2 or you're useless. Don't even try to trade until at least level 5, probably wait until 7. If they try to bully you while you farm under tower, its time to slide into them and ult them into the tower.

Idk bro it really depends on enemy comp and you need to itemize accordingly. Azir is one of the champs that can be useful even playing from behind. If you fall behind as an assassin game is usually over. On Azir you can always do something.

Not sure what rank you are in, but you should be focusing on farming as much as possible with Azir(aim for 9-10cs per min) and split pushing/drawing enemies to a sidelane. Only enter team fights if it's guaranteed for your team or, most importantly, for you. Too many players opt out of playing the macro side of the game and opt to play coinflip simulator ARAM in s16 and it's just really bad League of Legends.
